René Aebi - Knifemaker

​My name is Rene, I am Swiss and a passionate knife maker, motorcyclist and an adventurer.

When I gave up my motorcycle racing career in Switzerland in the year 2000 I decided to travel Africa from North to south on my motorbike. Once arrived in Namibia I felt in love with this beautiful country ...and I stayed.

I travelled Namibia extensively before I settled down in the south, where my partner and I leased a tourist Camp. We had to build it up and there was a lot to maintain and to repair for me.

In 2005 most of the work was done and I was looking for a new challenge. As a trained mechanic I am good at metalworking, so I taught myself how to make knives.

Since 2018 I am a knife maker on a full time basis making high quality hand made knives in all different shapes and sizes. My knives are sold to customers from all over the world.

​

On my Gallery you find a small selection of my work which content Bowie Knives, Hunting Knives, Damascus Knives, Collector Knives and Chef Knives. If a new collection is produced it will be shown on "Knives for Sale".

​

If you like a handmade knife from my collection you can order it via Email! Otherwise let me know what you are looking for. I'm happy to make your "taylor made" knife.

Enjoy browsing!
