Description
Andre Thorburn
I was very fortunate to begin working with several South African Knife Makers many years ago, I am continually impressed with the Quality of their knives and the value they offer. In my journey as a knife dealer several SA Makers have introduced me to other SA Makers and the list of quality knives that I sell from that country continues to grow.
The newest addition to my website is South African Knife Makers Guild member Andre Thorburn.
Fort Henry Custom Knives is proud to be a Dealer for Andre Thorburn
~ Direct from the Maker from ECCKS 2016 ~
Andre Thorburn is known World Wide for his precision Flippers. I can say without a doubt that THIS KNIFE is one of the finest Gentleman’s Flippers that I have ever offered!
Featuring Fort Henry Custom Knives NEW EXCLUSIVE Harpoon blade ~ this is only the second Harpoon that has featured Hand Engraved Bolsters.
This is one of Andre’s Most Popular Flipper Models, just a bit of pressure on the flipper mechanism causes the blade to Leap into the Open and Locked Position! Incredible action due to the DUAL IKBS Bearing Systems installed inside the Pivot! If you want to feel “True Flipper Perfection” then this knife is for you.
The New subtle Harpoon Style blade was hand ground from tough TWL 34 Stainless steel – then Andre gave it a Flawless Hand Rubbed Satin finish.
Very secure Lock ~ Early Lock up and very Smooth Release.
The handle scales are dramatic Silver Lightening Strike Carbon Fiber – but what really catches the eye are the Beautifully Hand Engraved Zirconium Bolsters with 24 kt Gold and Silver inlays done by renowned Engraver – Julien Marchal.
There are subtle Thumb Ridges on the Spine of the knife (which are continued onto the Ti Frame) which make for a very Secure Full Hand Grip. This knife also features Andre’s new Two Dimensional Fileworked and Anodized Ti Liners with a Full Length Black G-10 backspacer
Complete with a Low Rider Titanium Clip set for Tip Up carry
Protected by a Padded Velcro Storage Pouch.
A Custom Flipper with incredible Fit & Finish, direct from the Maker.
