Okapi has a rich history dating back over 100 years to Solingen, Germany, otherwise known as the “City of Blades” since it
has long been renowned for the manufacturing of fine swords, knives and cutlery.
In the late eighties, Okapi South Africa purchased the trademark and tooling and began manufacturing the knives in South
Africa. Over the last century, these knives have become famous, with even the likes of Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones
having been known to carry the 907E Okapi Lock-Knife with him for years. In 2019, Lasher Tools acquired Okapi and
continues to manufacture the knives in South Africa.
The Okapi Knife is highly robust, practical and equally affordable, all the while remaining faithful to its rich 112-year-old
heritage.
The Okapi Knife takes its name from the beautiful and endangered giraffe-like animal
found in the North-Eastern forests of the old Belgium Congo Colonies of the day.
