About the Maker
Van Deventer, J.D.
I was born, raised and am currently living in the heart of the Free State, Bloemfontein, South Africa.I took up knife making in 2005 and became a member of the Knifemaker?s Guild of Southern Africa in 2007.I work in a one man shop and build most of my machines myself. I specialize in fixed blades, utility knives and folders for the collector as well as the user. I am inspired by nature and make use of various kinds of wood, bones, horns and mammoth teeth. The blades are made from damasteel, Damascus, 12c28 (Sandvik) or N 690. Titanium or fossil ivory handles finishes off the knife. My aim is to produce unique knives and I continually strive to make knives of the highest degree of craftsmanship as possible."
JVO Design
JVO Design is Jared Van Otterloo. "I have always had a fascination with knives, as far back as my memory can provide. When I reached a time in my life of having disposable income I began to collect knives and really took an interest in folders. I was drawn in by the mechanical meets artistic concept and spent several years buying, selling, trading, and collecting folding knives. As time wore on I wanted moreā¦ not more knives, but continued learning and a chance to participate in the industry. In 2014 I met Greg Lightfoot and Rod Olson at a local metal art show, from that point forward my brain began to purge all my thoughts into knife design, and I built up JVO Design into a household name. I collaborated on 77 folding knife designs with some of the most prolific makers in the tactical knife genre. In 2018 I began to make folding knives out of my own shop."
