I'm sure you mean kitchen knives but whenever I think of an African maker, I instantly think Arno Bernard.

I'll make you a sponsor offer you can't refuse...
When it comes to South America, I bookmarked something called 'lingua de chimango'... it's essentially a meat slicer, but it comes in slightly different shapes than we're used to, but I honestly don't really know the history or the specifics. Might be worth googling up.
Generally I can say that ootb sharpness is quite decent on the Kurosaki Nakiri

Do you guys know that, when you buy a knife although you don’t need it but you still buy it because the price is too good to be true and it looks like exactly your thing? The best thing is when you expect nothing and get blown away once it’s there. @ashy2classy , thank you so much again for this transaction. It’s been a while but I really enjoy this Moritaka with custom handle made by Tony LaSeur.

Ugh. I wish they would open their shop back up to individuals. Their direct prices are/were stellar.
What's your thoughts on it? I've eyeballed them many times.

This is what Google said about lingua de chimango. Have not found the history of these knives in English or German, but am interested in it.:

Finally got around to putting a handle on this one and taking it for a spin. Very interesting knife
My handle for my Manaka Blue 1 came in today and I just finished installing it. Black and Red dyed box elder with copper rings from Jobone

Both fantastic knives!
My first line beater, a Whustof Classic (I think) santoku. What a good cutter it was. If only I was a bit more skilled at sharpening. But this knife sure helped me learn to become a better sharpener. It was dropped several times and eventually the handle cracked and pieces fell off, the tip was bent and then I repaired it as best I could. It’s punched holes in many an olive oil cannister.
Now its sharpened into the granting bevels. But it’s staying with me for sentimental reasons.

They are both great. Although the Kamon has my heart! Primus may make it’s way to the Classifieds at some point

I like how they modeled the grind after the tried and true Crayola
