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 2014
1 of Only 2 Ever Made
Andre is known World Wide for his precision Flippers, so I am very excited to offer this special custom piece, this knife is unarguably THE Best work that Andre has created!!
This is an amazing XL Gentleman’s Flipper
The Absolutely Gorgeous handle scales are Exterior Bark Mammoth Tusk Ivory with tons of Natural Grain and rich color.
The blade was hand ground from Forge Welded, Odins Eye Damasteel ~ a very pure Stainless Damascus steel from Sweden which Andre gave an extremely High Polish and clear Etch.
Red Liners, and an Embossed Stainless Bolster inlay.
One of the most innovative features of this special piece is the DUAL ROW of IKBS Bearings on Each Side of the Pivot ~ this is indicated by the Mark on the Blade.
If you want to experience one of the BEST Flippers in the World, you MUST feel the action on this knife! Perfect Detent, incredibly smooth, the blade almost Leaps open by itself.
Extremely secure Lock Up with Smooth Release.
The Contoured Scales and subtle Thumb Ridges on the Thumb Ramp make for a very secure Full Hand Grip.
Andre also gave this knife a Fully Fileworked and Anodized Titanium Frame with a Black G10 backspacer.
Complete with an Two Tone Low Rider Titanium Clip, it is Orange Peeled in the Inside Fuller and Satin on the top.
A Custom Flipper with an incredible price, direct from the Maker.
