What I Do
I'm a South African artisan specializing in handcrafted luxury goods. Here's what I create in my workshop:
Luxury Handmade Pens
I craft bespoke, personalised fountain pens, rollerballs, ballpoint, and glass pens using exotic South African woods, custom resins, and premium hardware. Each luxury pen is hand-turned on a lathe with meticulous attention to detail and engraving, creating a unique writing instrument that's both functional art and a treasured heirloom. These pens are excellent, versatile gifts. The personalized touch makes it ultra special. Every pen comes in handcrafted wooden chest, with a unique family crest.
Handcrafted Watches
Every personalized, luxury watch I create features a hand-finished dial, paired with the loved NH35 movement. These artisan timepieces showcase the art of titanium watch cases, natural pearl dials, and dial engraving—wearable art that tells your story. Engraved watch cases, dials, and straps makes it a very intimate art piece.
Engraved Rings
I design and craft personalized rings, using stainless steel, tungsten, damascus steel, wood, resins, and various inlays. Perfect as wedding bands, anniversary gifts, or personal statement pieces. Engraved rings are intimate and special, making them ideal for commemorating significant moments. I do engraving on both the inside and outside of the rings, if the design allows for it.
Handcrafted Knives
Mainly fixed blade damascus steel knives, personalized and engraved. I'm working on adding extra folding knife designs soon, apart from the already established rifle shaped folding knives.
Bespoke Custom Commissions
I work directly with clients to bring personalized visions to life. Whether you want a custom pen engraved with meaningful text, a watch dial featuring specific colors, or a completely unique design—I specialize in one-of-a-kind commissioned pieces made just for you.
Repairs & Restorations
Watch repair and restorations, both mechanical and quartz, common or luxury.
Statues, dioramas and trophies
I design, model and manufacture these art pieces from wood and resin. Perfect for awards, commemorative pieces, or unique decor that tells a story. I've been making the SA Bully Festival trophy for a few years now, and also recently completed a custom piece for Piber Stud draft breeders.
Supplier & Manufacture of pen, knife and ring supplies.
Damascus steel knife kits, pen kits, folding knife kits, and custom sized ring cores right here from South Africa. The St. Paul advantage is that I can customize your kit before it ships. Pen, knife and ring engraving is completed in my George worskshop, ensuring unmatched quality and lead times.
Luxury Corporate & Church Gifts
I offer bespoke luxury gifts for corporate clients and churches. These personalized items serve as memorable tokens of appreciation and recognition, crafted with the same attention to detail and quality as all my custom pieces. Examples include departure gifts, birthdays, retirements, or any other special occasion that may need a special gift.
