ANDY FITZ 

  Andy has been creating hand made knives for over a decade.  He credits friends Lee Williams and Jim Burke for helping him the most with the precision mechanics of his folders. 

 Andy’s knives are extremely hard to obtain and those that are lucky enough to get one rarely let it go, thus his work is rare on the secondary market.   

   Fort Henry Custom Knives is proud to be a Dealer of Andy Fitz custom knives     


Direct from the Maker at Blade Show 2014

Andy told me that he has had requests to build a Larger Angel Wing Flipper for over a year ~ Here it is!!  

This is the Prototype direct from Andy Fitz, a superb new Larger size of his popular Flipper called the Angel Wing

 Andy has refined this design to insure that the knife is ergonomic and the action is impeccable.  

A strong Detent insures that the blade Flies open and locks up secure every time!  And the amazing thing is, Andy does not use any Bearings!!  

The Angle of Flipper Mechanism, Blade Geometry and Balance of the Blade ~ all work in concert to put a smile on your face every time you flip the blade open!
