Who we are

At Billet2Blade we have a dedicated team.

Hennie Du Plessis, a proud member of the Knifemakers’ Guild of Southern Africa (KGSA), with many years of experience crafting custom knives. Each piece I make reflects the Guild’s high standards of quality, precision, and craftsmanship.

Ilze Du Plessis, brings the finishing touch to our knives with her expert engraving, turning each blade into a functional work of art. Together, we create knives that combine durability, utility, and beauty, whether for collectors, outdoor enthusiasts, or everyday use.

Being part of the KGSA ensures our work meets rigorous standards and upholds the tradition and integrity of South Africa’s finest custom knifemaking.
