Types of Knives from PVB Knives

Pieter makes different types of knives such as Bowie knives, cleavers as well as mini cleavers and chef knives. Also no-nonsense survival knives, Viking utility knives, hunter/skinning knives and rustic camper knives. He also makes Puuko knives which is a small traditional Finnish general purpose belt knife. Furthermore he makes an all-purpose knife traditionally used by, among others, the Inuit, called Ulu. One version of this knife is a blade in the form of a triangle. The sharp end of the blade (wide end of the triangle) is round and the handle sits on the top side of the triangle. The force is thus over the middle of the blade hence you cut through a rocking motion. Karambites South Africa or Bowies South Africa.

PVB Knives uses different materials for the scales or handles of the knives such as Rhodesian teak, red bush-willow burl and zebrano. Also lead-wood, stag horn, wild olive and hessian micarta which is a mixture of hessian and fibreglass resin. Some blades are decorated with beautifully engraved intrinsic patterns which make them so exquisite, they simply have to live in pouches.
