GTC's Supersonic Excellence!

[MicroFanatic]

What an incredible piece! I was very fortunate to score this one from Gus at Blade this year (pics long over due ). The Supersonic model was an instant favorite of mine after seeing some pics that he posted awhile back. The design is very unique and appealing to the eye IMO. His deeply contoured handles, straight and even blade grinds, and a ton of little details makes this one a HUGE favorite of mine - it simply flows! Thanks Gus and look forward to seeing what kind of work you have at Blade next year!


This shows how nicely the blade sits within the two-tone titnanium handle. Check out them curves!

A pic showing the nice lines of the handle with the hand satin flats-

A close-up of the Timascus thumb ramp/flipper. Gus has got this ramp and detent totally dialed it. You place the tip of your thumb just under the tip of this ramp and flip your thumb forward - the blade fires open like an assisted opener! The interesting part is that the detent is strong and the blade cannot be forced out of the handle by gravity or motion in any way. Also noticed here is his hand carved triangular screw head-

A view from the back - sexy

These next couple of shots shows the great dimensional aspects of the handle-

The sweeeeet pocket clip again with his carved triangular screw heads-

One awesome blade grind with a beautiful hand satin finish!

A view of the nicely ground blade spine and the thick reinforced blade tip.

This pic shows the two-tone handle effect very well even with the lock engaged, the lines just flow!

Another great detailed aspect is how the spine of the handle flows into the spine of the blade :bow:-

A view from the inside of the handle with name/date/blade material. The grooves placed inside are a real nice touch. Lock engagement is seen as well-

And last but not least is a close-up of Gus' logo -

The workmanship and detail are extraordinary. The pics you shared give a great view of all of the thought, attention to detail and craftsmanship that go into his knives.

Thank you for sharing and congratulations on a wonderful knife!!!

Microfanatic- I know ever time I click on one of your posts, I will get to see the knife featured inside and out, and sideways! Everytime.. Your new GTC is cool, and Gus's designs and blade geometry always seem to be "in flux".. (IMO) So many variations to his original patterns keeps everyone guessing.. :thumbup:
Best, Rich

Gus has a Supersonic on his web site that is made of timascus. Its one of the beautiful folders I've seen. To bad timascus is in such short supply.

Gus - your work speaks for itself...truly great!
