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 the recent ECCKS 2014
Andre is known World Wide for his precision craftsmanship. When he approached me at the last show with this new Experimental Model I knew it was going to be a hit, to me is a logical blend of Traditional Style with Advanced Materials.
This knife is the size of a Traditional Slip Joint, opened using a Nail Nick in the blade ~ but with the introduction of the IKBS this blade glides open effortlessly.
The handle is Ocean Green G-10 and fit with precision against the Black G-10 bolsters. The blade was hand ground from tough N690 Stainless steel which Andre gave aLabor Intensive Hand Rubbed finish. It has aperfect Detent so no worries about it opening in your when not wanted.
The Custom Thumb Ridges (which are continued onto the Anodized Ti Frame) make for a very secure Full Hand Grip.
The Liner Lock engages early and securely.
Fully Fileworked and Anodized Ti Liners. Andre also added a Brick Red liners for a pop of color.
Complete with an Anodized Titanium Low Rider Clip and a Velcro Storage Pouch.
A Custom Experimental that crosses boundaries, direct from the Maker.
