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.

Beautiful knife. Great ergos. Durable materials. And now! At least with the blacked put version there's less billboarding!

I love the aesthetics and ergonomics. Fit and finish are perfect. The only drawback is the pocket clip. It no where near deep carry, and due to it being nested, not replaceable with an aftermarket clip.

Excellent knife, excellent company! A+++

Much nicer and more premium than I expected. I also have the BRS version of the Thresher and it’s nowhere near as nice as this version made by WE. Well designed, well executed, interesting, and very premium. The action is drop shut with zero play and a smooth, consistent, hydraulic-feeling drop. Get one! They didn’t get the attention they deserve. These are awesome!

A few months ago I bought the Drop + Gavko Nurse. Something about the thumb hole didn't feel right.
About a week ago I'm on Kaviso.com and I see the Drop + Gavko Thresher in Coralline / Pelagic. I loved the look and specs so I bought it. This knife is the bomb and for the price, you just can't beat it.
First, the detent is perfect, lock up is solid and strong. The action is drop shut amazing. Once you get past that 90 degree mark, drop shut.
My only negative is the pocket clip hot spot on a tight grip, otherwise you wouldn't even notice it. I highly recommend this knife, you will be most happy once you have this knife in hand.

I had one before and got rid of it. I regretted it ever since. I love the color and style.

Absolutely loved it!

Incredible quality. The patina on the titanium scales is already amazing. Love the blade shape more and more.

The best drop design yet. Gavko hit this one out of the park. Action is butter smooth, scale pattern on the scales looks amazing with a bonus of ergos almost like a scalloped grip where your fingers. Kaviso ships fast fast fast. I own around 500 pocket knives so never have the same knife day after day, this has been in my pocket for a week now. Highly recommended.

The only reason this isn't 5 stars is because the frame screws came loose already, two days after receiving. One of the screws just spins now, on both sides. Isn't causing any issues yet. Never really intended to use this knife hard so shouldn't be too bad. Otherwise, excellent knife!
Hi Bryan,
Please reach out to support and we'll get you sorted out. We do carry spare parts for this knife so we can get you a new set of frame screws if that is the issue and they don't just need tightened. Thanks for your feedback.

The knife is well built…very unique!

Bada$$ knife!!!

1st thing , the knife is sexy, the curves, the finish , the titanium all great. But it is a flawed design. The blade choil is a trap, it has a space which you think might allow finger grip but no it is a sharp point , too small to be used and everyone will find out the ouch way that it is a trap. The lock also does not seem very strong and could been more accessible .
But the worst issue is the clip , it does not clip well and it either too short or too tight, and when i pulled it our once the catch managed to tag the thumb stud and now the blade went straight thru the pants, fortunately no stabbing accident but lesson learnt, dont use the clip..
Hi Yew, the Thresher has a large sharpening choil to ensure users can sharpen the blade and get a lot of use out of the knife. This knife does NOT have a finger choil and would be a painful mistake to make. Due to the size of the handle which allows for a full grip the designer did not add a finger choil.
I'll pass your other comments on to Mike Gavko and we always consider all customer ideas into future design iterations. We appreciate your feedback and sorry to hear about your pants :-/.

Ecstatic! Smoothest knife right out of the box. Very happy with my purchase!
Can't stop flipping

Great knife, fast shipping.

The more I handle this knife, the more I like it. Very sharp out of the box. Opens like a dream, the thumbstud is in a perfect location for my hand, finger. Never a failed opening. You know those knives that you love everything about it but it's harder to get your thumb in the right opening position, this is not that knife. 100%. The blade shape. the scales. I have black/black and couldn't lov it more!

Man Man talk about well made?, thumb studs work great, fit/fin is perfect, razor sharp, whats Not to love?? Drop and Gavko have Serious reps in the knife world. I’m sure Neeves would find something to point out, lol. I hv bunch of “high end” pieces and this one stands out with the best. Big E
BANG! NEEVES KNIVES!

May I know blade thickness? Thank you.
Hi James,
Thank you for reaching out. The Drop + Gavko Thresher Titanium Frame Lock Knife has a blade thickness at the spine of 0.16 in or 4 mm and the blade thickness 1mm behind the apex is +/- 0.02 in or 0.5mm. Additionally, we've updated the product page to include the specification details since I noticed an error on our side.
Let us know if we can assist with anything else.
Best regards,
Dana at Kaviso
