Testimonials

  • I’ve owned a few AdV knives and the quality and craftsmanship is impeccable. I do not believe that you could get a better custom knife for the price. Aside from the excellent products, Andre is a great person and always willing to help… even when I had an issue with a knife that I bought on the secondary market (yes, probably a headache and annoying for Andre but nonetheless he was always willing to help). I cannot recommend his products and service enough. I prefer to do business with a company that I respect the product but more so the person making it.

  • I highly recommend ADV Tactical. Andre is very approachable and is always courteous and helpful. I have purchased four of his folders so far and have found them to be extremely well built, capable and amazing value for money. I love the futuristic aspect of his designs and the custom options available that make it just that little bit extra special.

  • Andre was very friendly and easy to deal with when ordering my knife. I got exactly what I wanted, in a timely manner. The knife that showed up is beautiful and built like a tank. I absolutely recommend ADV if you’re looking for a high quality knife tricked out to your specifications.
