Christo Oosthuizen grinding knivesChristo Oosthuizen lives in Pretoria South Africa with his wife and two daughters. Born in 1972, his day job is managing an electroplating plant. Christo's training in mechanical engineering brings a wide range of skills to his knifemaking.

While working at Rausch Engineering, Oosthuizen met Derek Rausch, who inspired and mentored him in knifemaking. Another former colleague and exceptional knifemaker Louis van der Walt taught him many tricks of the trade. Renowned knifemaker Andre Thorburn has also been very helpful over the years, providing advice, guidance, and tips.

Oosthuizen was honored to become a member of the Knifemakers Guild of Southern Africa in 1999.
Over the past 20 years, he has created a bit over 300 knives, including fixed blades, boot knives and folders.

Christo brings a tremendous level of skill to his knives and he is clearly a maker to watch.
