Gustavo T. Cecchini - of GTC Knives, is a Brazilian-based knife maker and designer, agricultural engineer and knife enthusiast. While repairing agricultural machinery, he came across metalworking, and as a result began making knives with a fixed blade. However, it was folders that became his passion, with their variety of mechanisms and designs. His career as a knifemaker went rapidly bringing him more than 20 awards, several patents and a circle of friends around the world.
Blade - a wide blade of Modified Spear Point type, finished with a scratch-masking Bead Blasted method and then polished. It opens with an SLT flipper so it can be used by right and left-handed people without any problems. Ceramic ball bearings are responsible for the smooth operation of the opening mechanism. A mixed grind is used here, in the rear part there is a high, concave grind for cutting and precision work, the so-called Hollow Ground Primary Bevel. In the front part, we have a high Flat Ground tip reinforcement grind. To improve piercing capabilities, an unsharpened false blade is brought out in the upper part. The whole thing is locked with a proven and popular frame lock with a steel insert to prevent wiping of the lock face.
Handle - from a single piece of sandblasted and polished titanium 6AI4V, machined on CNC milling machines. Monolithic skeleton (body) of the highest strength, which is a solid structural element that guarantees the rigidity and strength of the entire structure. Only a few companies are able to make the Handle with such incredible accuracy! The simplicity and solidity of the design give you the assurance of many years of use. Single-position clip (right), made of titanium, allows you to carry the knife in tip-up position. The pivot is made of flame-dyed titanium and decorated with a gold rim (pivot collar cap).
Case - included zippered soft nylon case with the manufacturer's logo for safe storage and transportation of the folder.
