Francois Massyn is a knifemaker from Richards Bay, South Africa and member of the Knifemakers Guild of Southern Africa (KGSA). We were impressed with his work when we met him in 2016. He uses high quality materials, plus his knives utilize the IKBS system which make them very smooth and an exceptional value for the quality. He is one of the most experienced members on the North Coast knife makers club. 2025 Blade Show was his first show in the USA and 2026 was an exceptional year 2!
