That large GTI folder opens up like the blade was on ball bearings!

While reading my new issue of blade magazine and came across an article on auto knives, when I came across the acronym S.E.R.E. Reminded me of the AL Mar SERE Attack blades (folders) from back in the late 60's and 70's. I ALMOST bought a large one Back in the EARLY 80's I think it was. BIG knife. I did go on to buy two of the smaller ones, one the Micarta brown/chocolate handle and one with the rubber handle.

Anyway, while thinking of this I thought of the GTI folder (large) and how it would make a great combat folder or survival blade. It isn't all that long in the tooth (3.5 inch blade) but it is very wide and at 3/16 inch thick would hold up nicely and it has a bomb proof titanium liner. So for those folks who can't carry a fixed blade this large GTI folder would make a nice addition to anyone's "Kit".

I was just looking through my knife chest and came across a few knives I hadn't thought of in a while.

I have a set (large and small) CRKT authorized copies of two Pat Crawford knives, the Falcon Folders. They carry and feel pretty good in the hand and I remember now why I bought them. They have recurve blades and just look like they mean business.

I ALSO found a couple more CRKT blades, two more Pat Crawford designs of the Crawford/Kasper folding fighters, in again the large and small sizes. PLUS I also have the fixed blade!

It's kinda nice rummaging through the chest from time to time. smile

Skunk, finally gave up the 3-week old search for my old EDC folder and just purchased the full sized GTI K14416 (3.5" blade) based on your review.

Thanks for taking the time and providing the rest of us with your review!

Would love to see what the Busse clan could do if they put their minds into creating a folder.

Mastiff, I hope you are as happy with your heavy duty folder as I am. It's done me good service duty so far and now resides in my Maxped Fatty Organizer. I DO carry the Mini every day though.
