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 the recent NYCKS 2013

We have all heard the term used in Real Estate, “Location, Location, Location” – when referring to Andre’s knives I can safely use the same type of term ~ “Precision, Precision, Precsion”!

 The blade was hand ground from tough N690 Stainless steel which Andre gave a Flawless Hand Rubbed finish.   The handle scales are Lightening Strike Carbon Fiber.  However, what leaps out at first glance are the Incredible Engraved Steel Bolsters by Julien Marchal.

This is one of Andre’s Finest Flippers, the blade absolutely Leaps into the Open and Locked Position with just a touch of the Flipper!  Incredible action that will bring a smile to your Face!
