Just Like Papa ‘Just Like Papa’ is a concept born of a love for adventure and a deeply routed passion for self-reliance. It’s the place where adventure begins.

That’s because we’re an outdoor store that specialises in curated collections of premium-quality adventure products that are authentic, trusted and stand the test of time. We’re talking products that get better with age, just like the stories they’re involved in. Just Like Papa is the urban adventurer’s dream destination - A place to gear up; a place to discover new need-to-haves; a place to share excitement over upcoming expeditions or even just your go-to-store to buy a gift or to get that thing that’ll make doing that other thing so much more enjoyable.

If these knives could talk, you’d definitely listen.

Two Benchmade icons, built for very different kinds of carry.

The Bugout has become a modern EDC staple for good reason. Lightweight, slim and easy to forget about until you need it, it pairs Benchmade’s AXIS lock with a 3.24” drop-point blade and a seriously low-carry profile. It’s the kind of knife that earns permanent pocket real estate.

The Crooked River leans more traditional. A full-size hunting folder with a 4” clip-point blade, CPM-S30V steel, AXIS lock and a combination of classic proportions with modern materials and hardware.

Bugout for everyday carry. Crooked River for something with a little more weight, presence and old-school character.

Both unmistakably Benchmade.

More than just a wristwatch.

Draken Watches are timepieces built with the outdoors front and centre, without looking like you’ve strapped a GPS to your arm.

Just as at home beyond the borders of a map as they are at a black-tie event.

Rugged when they need to be. Refined when they don’t.

Tried and tested. Just Like Papa approved.

A great chef knows the importance of a great knife.

Designed by South African chef Ollie Swart, the OS Series Chef Knife is the result of years spent developing, fine-tuning and searching for the perfect blade.

Crafted from 67-layer Damascus steel, featuring a hardened steel core and a premium ebony wood handle, this 7.5” chef knife delivers exceptional sharpness, balance and control.

From slicing herbs with surgical precision to breaking down meat, the OS Series is designed to become an extension of your hand, whether you’re cooking at home for the fam or in a professional kitchen where the pace is relentless.

A proper knife for proper results.

A moment of reflection.

While we really appreciate the effort Duke Cannon Supply Co. has made over the years to get its stock from the States to Cape Town in the most authentically American way possible, after many years of commuting, it’s time to let Vin Eagle the Bald Eagle hang up his beak and enjoy a well-earned break.

Seeing as we don’t know when we’ll be receiving more stock from the chaps at Duke Cannon again, we’re feeling generous and have decided to discount the full range by 15% while stocks last.

When it’s gone, it’s gone.

Thank you for everything Vin Eagle.

As the saying goes - “If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it was meant to be.”

Be free Vin Eagle. Be free. 🦅

On Wednesday, 24 September, from 2 p.m., we’ll be doing our best to burn all the wood in Cape Town as we celebrate our favourite public holiday of the year - Heritage Day.

From 2 p.m., the fires will be lit at our clubhouse, Tommy’s Chop Shop, with Tommy’s Tuckshop serving up braai packs loaded with Shisa Nyama steak, pork rashers and wors, served with smoor and ushatini.

Still hungry? There’ll also be a Heritage Day burger and the classic boerie roll on standby,

And if you feel like getting your hands dirty, there’ll be tongs on hand too, so you can finally prove to your partner that you are, in fact, worthy.

All are welcome, always. 🇿🇦🔥

“Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening my axe.” — Abraham Lincoln

Gränsfors Bruk axes are built to last for generations, with a little help from their keepers.

Like any meaningful relationship, a little maintenance goes a long way. Putting in the time to keep the edge sharp, the hickory handle nourished with oil, and the leather sheath supple and conditioned. These small rituals all help your Gränfors Bruk axe reach its full potential.

Because even the toughest tools need a little love.

Shop our Gränsfors Bruk axe care kits and ceramic sharpening stones, and keep your axe in tip-top shape for the day it gets handed down to the next generation.

The weather is turning. Go on, spoil yourself.
