The Perfect Carry | Like other Gavko knives, the story of the Thresher begins with a shark. Ever since one of his first designs was said to look like a Mako shark, Gavko Knives designer Michal Gavac never looked back. The Thresher is based on the shark of the same name—one that uses its enormous tail to whip and stun prey before devouring it. A full-size titanium frame lock, the Thresher features a 3.6-inch S35VN stainless steel blade with plenty of belly for slicing and a keen tip for piercing. The Bowie-style clip-point shape is modeled after the Thresher shark’s powerful tail, while the scalloped backspacer helps emphasize the vicious deep-sea look. Deployment is smooth sailing thanks to the caged ceramic bearing system. Finally, the knife now comes in four brand new finishes: Abyss, Abyss with Ocean accents, Tahitian, and Coralline.
