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 NYCKS 2016 ~ 

Andre Thorburn is known World Wide for his precision Flippers.  I can say without a doubt that he makes some of the finest Gentleman’s Flippers that I have ever offered!

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 that will bring a smile to your Face!

 The blade is hand ground from tough N690 Stainless steel – then Andre gave it a Flawless Hand Rubbed Satin finish.

The handle scales are great looking Silver Lightening Strike Carbon Fiber – but what really catches the eye are the Beautifully Hand Engraved Zirconium Bolsters (these are Engraved by Andre’s Wife).

There are subtle Thumb Ridges (which are continued onto the Ti Frame) which make for a very Secure Full Hand Grip.
