The Cape Town Knife Show, hosted by the Cape Knife Club in the area of Tygervalley Shopping Centre this past weekend, was bustling with knife enthusiasts. Craftsmen from all over the Western Cape and as far as from Gauteng showcased handmade knives, knifemaking tools and accessories. Esmé Erasmus from TygerBurger was there to capture some moments.
