This is a
discontinued Rare NEW in box C68GPS Gunting model First Generation folding knife.
Martial
Arts Hall of Famer, and Grand Master-Bram Frank designed the Gunting for
specialized MBC applications. The knife is designed to be a ready cutting tool
but also as a non-cutting (non-lethal and less-than-lethal) impact tool. Bram
travels the world teaching Gunting use through his company, Common Sense Self
Defense.
As an
impact tool, the Gunting's protrusions on the handle and blade are for pressure
point control (think Yawara stick) that also can be utilized as a striking
devise. Impact is focused on sensitive areas (pressure points such as
fingers/hands, inside of arm, face and neck), which when struck and pinched can
stop and debilitate an adversary without needing great physical strength. The
hollow-ground CPM-440V blade has a prominent horn (also for pressure point
control) that lets the blade be opened kinetically*. The blade also opens via
the Spyderco Round Hole. G-10 handle scales house a compression Lock locking
system. Rated at MBC strength levels the Compression Lock is designed to hold
immense pressure per inch of blade, the highest rating Spyderco has on its lock
strength scale. The spoon-shaped clip has a divot with another divot is
mirrored on the opposite side of the handle so the folder can be indexed (rotated)
to varying grip positions. Coveted by LEOs and government agencies across the
globe, the Gunting is a highly specialized, functional tool created to
complement and accompany CSSD's conceptual patterned training.
