Overview

This custom Stampede model is one stout, fantastic, and utterly gorgeous flipper. True to the GTC style, the SLT flipper mechanism is something unique you don't see on any other knife than a GTC. It's a spring loaded tab connected to the blade that launches the blade out superbly fast as it rides on bearings of Gus' own design. The 3.875" reverse tanto blade is made from Chad Nichols stainless Blackout Damascus with a false swedge and dark acid etched finish. This blade shape has a lot of belly for slicing and a reinforced tip for stabbing - the best of both worlds. The handle is entirely made from intricately milled timascus with a hidden lockbar over-extender protector to ensure years of solid lockup and a notch at the base of the blade so the detent ball doesn't impede your closing motion with one hand. The pocket clip is made from Blackout Damascus as well as the backspacer which is inlaid with red glow-in-the-dark dots for an excellent touch from a true master in the industry. This custom Stampede is a full-dress presentation piece that would make an excellent user if not designated for safe queen status, handmade in Riolandia, Brazil.

Gustavo T. Cecchini Custom Knives are the epitome of tactical art. Gus' distinct style, innovative features, and material choices lead his knives to be described as tactical, but there's something more. The way that each knife is finished and the attention GTC pays to the smallest of details is extraordinary. This knife will highlight any collection but should also be carried and used to get the full appreciation for this awesome folder.

About the Maker

GTC Custom Knives
GTC Custom Knives

The GTC logo and the man behind it, Brazilian Gustavo Thome Cecchini - that's Gus to us - is well known to everyone in the knife world and has been working on knives since roughly 2004. Born 1974 in Brazil from Italian descendants, Gus had a balance of country and city life, which later led to his main field of study and profession, Agronomic engineering. Gus took this newfound knowledge and moved to the family's farm where he worked with agriculture and cattle. During Brazil's long and dry winters, Gus took up knife making as a hobby, learning along the way. Gus made use of the limited tools and steels available on the farm, having little more than a drill press and making his own belt grinder out of spare farming equipment and parts. Self-taught and eager to learn, Gus scoured the Internet as well as available books for literature on knife making. Soon after, Gus was awarded Best New Maker at the 2006 Sao Paulo Knife Show. Gus took the next logical step and began making folders. With the same learning-by-doing philosophy, Gus engineered his own custom pivot-bearings which he patented and shared with the community. Gus applies this innovative practice constantly and has added many firsts to his folders. Unique assisted-opening (2008), Front Framelock with straight-cut lock-bar (2009), a lock-bar limiter screw, a hidden-clip design that won him Best Innovative Design at the 2012 USN Gathering. In 2014 Gus added a Flush Clip design to his bag of tricks. This spirit of technical innovation is only part of the GTC formula. A look at the designs from the aesthetics reveals another level of Gus's creativity. It's no surprise that his work has graced the cover of Blade Magazine with the caption of "Dress Tactical Folder". Gus uses numerous, varied materials, shaping them into works of modern art. Not only do his creative combinations please the eye, they all come together to function as a single, seamless entity with mechanical tolerances that boggles the mind. Gus is always striving to improve his knives, never afraid to test new theories, always working with the latest available materials, technology and techniques. Gus achieves subtle two-tone surfaces simply by varying bead-blast material from glass to ceramic. Gus takes advantage of the best materials in the community and at the same time, is trying his hand at forge-welding his own steel. The final element to the GTC formula can be found in the minutest details. Screw heads, thumb-studs are custom-cut; clips are harmonized with the blade material, coarse jigging or fine filework satisfy both the aesthetic and functional requirements. Innovation, design, attention to detail and accuracy are the cornerstones of the GTC formula.
