Trevor Burger is a second-generation knifemaker from South Africa who has built a reputation for producing some of the smoothest front flippers in the knife world. Growing up on the family farmstead in Munster, along the coastal belt of KwaZulu Natal, Trevor spent his teenage years learning the craft in his father Fred's workshop, making knives for friends and local hunters.
After high school, Trevor trained as a toolmaker, a background that shows in every knife he builds. That precision mindset led him to incorporate CNC machining into his process, resulting in the tight tolerances and flawless fit and finish his knives are known for. He builds all components in-house, including his own caged bearings, and every blade is hand ground, placing his work firmly in custom shop territory.
Trevor's designs lean toward clean, minimalist EDC folders that prioritize function without sacrificing aesthetics. His front flipper models like the EXK, LEXK, and Urban have earned a devoted following for their crisp, direct action, just a touch of pressure on the tab and the blade snaps home, while the Atlas, Sierra, and Dakar deliver the same refined build in traditional flipper form. Our current selection runs deep on the Dakar Recessed, in trims from brown linen and olive drab micarta to twill carbon fiber and ridged vapour-blast titanium. Blades typically run Bohler M390 and Elmax, both covered in our knife steel guide, over titanium frame locks with hardened steel lock bar inserts, and Trevor is one of the few makers who regularly builds true left-handed knives, something southpaw collectors treasure. Each TBC knife ships with a zippered storage pouch and a hand-signed certificate of authenticity.
