Andre Thorburn Custom Knives
André, is was of the finest South
African knife makers. He became a member of the Knife Makers Guild of
Southern Africa in 1995. Just recently André has
started engraving his knives, and his engraving looks like he's been
doing it for years.
André sold his first knife in 1990 and went full time in 1996. Although he
makes a fine using knife, he prefers to make art knives that a person can
drop in her/her pocket. In November 2003 he won the "Best Folder
Award" at the IMA 2003 in Munchen Germany. He believes that
custom knives must be excellent in form and function, therefore he also
conducts knife-making courses to share his knowledge helping new knife makers excel.
