I'm selling my Andre Thorburn XL Gentlemans Flipper- L36M Flipper. I purchased this knife from Fort Henry in Feb 2015 and Vince purchased directly from the maker at Blade 2014. Carried it a dozen or so times with light use (opening boxes mainly). Originally purchased for $725, offered here at a fair discount. Details below.
When I first flipped this knife open I honestly started giggling. The feel, detent, flip and finish of Thornburn's knives are literally incredible. This knife is in excellent condition.
Blade Steel: Bohler N690 Stainless from Austria with satin finish hardness: 59RC with re-curve edge
Original makers edge still on it
Guard: Integral
Scale/ Bolster Material: Arizona Desert Ironwood/Black G10
Red liners with terrific Thornburn filework on the backspacer
Blade Length: 3 3/4″
OAL: Open 9″
Velcro storage pouch and original COA included
Condition: Excellent. Small scratch and carry marks on the clip. Very small, barely noticeable scratches on the blade tip. Makers edge.
Price $500 SOLD fee and shipping included. Shipping within the USA only.
"Andre is known World Wide for his precision Flippers. The blade was hand ground from tough N690 Stainless steel which Andre gave a near Flawless finish and the handles are Beautiful Arizona Desert Ironwood with Red Liners, and a Precision Fit Black G10 Bolster inlay. This is one of Andres Most Popular Flippers, just a bit of pressure on the flipper mechanism causes the blade to Leap into the Open and Locked Position! Incredible action that will bring a smile to your Face! Perfect Lock Up and Smooth Release. The Contoured Scales and subtle Thumb Ridges make for a very secure Full Hand Grip. Andre also gave this knife a Fully Fileworked and Anodized Titanium Frame with a Full Length G10 backspacer. Complete with an Satin Finished Low Rider Clip and a Velcro Storage Pouch. A Custom Flipper with Incredible Fit & Finish."
