Andre Devillers

Andre De Villiers is a South African custom knife maker and founder of ADV Tactical, forging durable tactical folders and fixed blades since 1990. Raised in Pietermaritzburg, his early demand for a reliable hunting knife led him to craft his first by hand as a schoolboy. Renowned for his signature “Butcher” model and mid-tech flippers like the Tac-Butcher and Javelin, he uses premium steels (D2, S35VN, M390) and titanium frames. His knives feature robust mechanisms—ball-bearing pivots, button locks, integral frames—and often include aggressive styling and functional flair. Made for performance and resilience, ADV Tactical knives are celebrated globally for sturdiness, distinctive industrial design, and value, earning praise from buyers and knife communities abroad.
