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 Blade 2016 ~ 

This is, without a doubt, the LARGEST Flipper that Andre currently offers!!

Andre Thorburn is known World Wide for his precision Flippers, so I am very excited to offer his work to my Customers.  This is one of his finest Gentleman’s Flippers that I feel offers incredible Value for the Price.

 The blade was hand ground from tough N690 Stainless steel which Andre gave a near Flawless Hand Rubbed finish.   The handle is Silver Lightening Strike Carbon Fiber – the handle scales fit with precision against the Polished Zirconium Bolster onlays.

This is Andre’s Largest Flipper, just a bit of pressure on the flipper mechanism causes this big blade to Leap into the Open and Locked Position!  Incredible action that will bring a smile to your Face!
