Discover the Unique Artistry of K’roo Knives: A Spotlight on Custom Creations
If you’re a knife enthusiast, you’re probably familiar with the name K’roo Blades. Based in the Great Karoo desert region of South Africa, this father-and-son team has carved a niche for themselves in the world of custom knife-making. The name “K’roo” is derived from the local pronunciation of “Karoo,” which sounds like “crew” in English. Known for their exceptional design, materials, and craftsmanship, K’roo Blades specializes in high-quality slip joint knives, dress knives, and other custom designs.
The K’roo Blades Story
Willem O’Kelly, the founder, started K’roo Blades as a hobby in 2005. He initially focused on hunting and rustic knives, reflecting his background as a professional hunter and his involvement in black powder shooting. However, his passion evolved, and he shifted his focus to slip joint and back lock folders, a field he has always been passionate about. His son, Liam, joined him in 2019 and quickly became a world-class knife maker. Together, they have created a brand known for unique aesthetics and meticulous attention to detail.

What sets K’roo Blades apart is their dedication to quality and customer service. Willem and Liam are committed to standing by their work and ensuring customer satisfaction, even in challenging circumstances.
