Andre De Villers – ADV Tactical | ALPHA | Button Lock – S35VN – Titanium (Second-Hand)

An absolute masterpiece by renowned South African knifemaker André de Villiers (ADV Tactical). This powerful and mechanically refined custom knife perfectly embodies the maker’s famous motto: “Seriously overbuilt.” It combines uncompromising, brute strength with the refined artistry of a true collector’s piece.

This specific model is a true eye-catcher: the matte black-coated titanium handle scale features a finely engraved Spartan helmet, beautifully framed by a classic Greek meander pattern. The premium Gold/Copper Shred Carbon Fiber inlays (carbon fiber infused with genuine gold and copper flakes) perfectly complement the custom laser-engraved hardware and screws.

The blade is crafted from the legendary American CPM S35VN powder steel, offering exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Thanks to the multi-row ceramic bearing pivot system, the blade deploys with an incredibly smooth action. Maximum safety is ensured by the intuitive button lock combined with an additional mechanical safety switch, preventing any accidental unlocking or opening.

A special tactical highlight is the integrated Emerson Wave feature on the spine of the blade, allowing the knife to automatically deploy while being quickly drawn from the pocket.

Condition: This knife comes from a private collection liquidation and is in like-new, flawless condition. It shows no signs of use, retains its original factory edge, and has never been carried or used. The knife bears the individual serial number 173 – 2021 (year of manufacture: 2021). A rare opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts of exclusive custom knives!
