Marius Laubscher crafted his first knife in 1982 — the same year his eldest son, Dylan, was born. What began with a tradesman’s commitment to function evolved into something far broader: a shared pursuit of craftsmanship across generations. Marius, a tradesman turned business owner, and Dylan, a designer turned functional artist, have taken that foundation and layered in an automotive narrative that defines their work today.With Marius’ instinct for utility and Dylan’s bias toward refined, performance-driven design, the workshop became a space where precision meets character. Dylan’s philosophy — performance with soul — continues to push the boundaries of what functional objects can be.Beyond the workshop, Dylan documents the journey through a YouTube channel, bartering handcrafted knives to fund a hot rod build — a project driven as much by grit as it is by ingenuity.Reach out for a conversation — knives, builds, watches, whiskey… just not panpipes.
