THE CAC® GIGN - Limited Edition 250 ex.

The Intervention Groupe de la Gendarmerie Nationale (GIGN) is an elite unit of the French National Gendarmerie specializing in counter-terrorism actions, in the freeing of hostages and in special operations.

LE CAC® officially chosen by the French Army

This knife is a true concentrate of all the advanced technologies that one would expect from an operational knife. The blade is in Nitrox®, with a PA6 handle

The version of the C.A.C currently supplied to the army, with the official logo on the blade and coyote handle is not available for sale to the civilian.

The CAC ® is the third knife produced by Tarrerias - Bonjean designed for the French army. Its uncompromising design, lightness and strength make the CAC® an exceptional knife. Much more technical and ambitious than its predecessors, the CAC® is TB's response to the request expressed by the French army, namely to design a sturdy and ambidextrous knife with one-handed opening and closing. To create this exceptional knife, Tarrerias - Bonjean collaborated with Philippe Perotti, a former member of the French special forces and author of dozens of books on shooting. Its proven track record in hand-to-hand combat has maximized the efficiency of knife use to make the CAC® the ideal companion for French troops in all operational theaters. The locking mechanism of the CAC® is extremely robust and guarantees perfect locking of the blade in the open position.

TB has also integrated the safe blade locking mechanism by moving the axis on the CAC®. This mechanism is extremely robust and guarantees perfect locking of the blade in the open position.

The CAC® was officially selected in 2017 by the French army, compared to the competitors' offer, for its performance and value for money. Its distribution in the various corps began at the beginning of 2018 and will largely equip our French at least until 2022.

Perfectly resistant to corrosion, the blade is made of Nitrox®. The CAC® also has a glass breaker, a belt cutter and a reversible belt clip.

The handle is composed of two polymer plates loaded with glass fibers. These plates are screwed to the mechanism by means of stainless steel screws, one of which cleverly houses a strap cutter blade. This interchangeable, curved blade is designed to cut through straps, ropes and seat belts for easy extraction in the event of an accident.

Intended use: collection

Blade: stainless steel Nitrox® 58/59 hrc
Handle: in PA6 FV
Blade length: 85mm.
Blade thickness: 3mm.
Total length: 238mm.

LE CAC® scelto ufficialmente dell'Esercito Francese

Questo coltello è un vero concentrato di tutte le tecnologie avanzate che ci si aspetterebbe da un coltello operativo. La lama è in Nitrox®,  con manicatura in PA6

La versione del C.A.C attualmente in dotazione all'esercito, con logo ufficiale sulla lama e impugnatura in coyote non è disponibile per la vendita al civile.

Il CAC ® è il terzo coltello prdotto dalla Tarrerias - Bonjean progettato per l'esercito francese. Il suo design senza compromessi, leggerezza e robustezza fanno del CAC® un coltello eccezionale. Molto più tecnico e ambizioso dei suoi predecessori, il CAC® è la risposta di TB alla richiesta espressa dall'esercito francese, ovvero quella di progettare un coltello robusto e ambidestro con apertura e chiusura con una sola mano. Per creare questo eccezionale coltello, Tarrerias - Bonjean ha collaborato con Philippe Perotti, ex appartenente alle forze speciali francesi e autore di decine di libri sul tiro. La sua comprovata esperienza nel combattimento corpo a corpo ha massimizzato l'efficienza dell'uso del coltello per rendere il CAC® il compagno ideale per le truppe francesi in tutti i teatri operativi. Il meccanismo di bloccaggio del CAC® è estremamente robusto e garantisce un perfetto bloccaggio della lama in posizione aperta.

TB ha anche integrato il meccanismo di bloccaggio sicuro della lama spostando l'asse sul CAC®. Questo meccanismo è estremamente robusto e garantisce un perfetto bloccaggio della lama in posizione aperta.

Il CAC® è stato ufficialmente selezionato nel 2017 dall'esercito francese, rispetto all'offerta dei competitor, per le sue prestazioni, e rapporto qualità prezzo. La sua distribuzione nei vari corpi d'armata è iniziata all'inizio del 2018 e equipaggerà in gran parte i nostri francesi almeno fino al 2022.

Perfettamente resistente alla corrosione, la lama è realizzata in Nitrox®. Il CAC® ha anche un rompivetro, un taglia cinture e una clip da cintura reversibile.

Il manico è composto da due piastre in polimero caricato con fibre di vetro. Queste piastre sono avvitate al meccanismo tramite viti in acciaio inossidabile, una delle quali ospita abilmente una lama taglia reggetta. Questa lama curva e intercambiabile è progettata per tagliare cinghie, corde e cinture di sicurezza per facilitare l'estrazione in caso di incidente.

Acknowledgments

Currently I make a limited number of knives a year and participate in some exhibitions, where among other things I have won my first prizes:

in 2005 at LAME SOTTO I PORTICI in Romano di Lombardia (BG) I was awarded as "best table on display"

always in the same year at the CULTER-EXPO in Novegro (MI) as "best folding knife"

I was also ranked second in the competition organized by the magazine LAME D'AUTORE as the best fixed hunting blade

then in 2007 at "Scarperia" I won the third prize for best folding

but above all again in 2007, to my great satisfaction, I reached the degree of MASTER OF THE ITALIAN KNIVING CORPORATION, a recognition received at the first exam.

Presentation of the craftsman

Creating a knife by hand is what I consider a real art form.
The satisfaction of seeing an object that comes from one's own hands, that takes shape and reaches mechanical, artistic and aesthetic perfection is what pays me back the most for all the hours of work and effort it takes to create a knife completely. by hand.

The passion for "cutting tools" has always been in me since I was a child and grew with me until the almost sudden decision to build my first knife myself, it was a "need", almost an inner necessity that I couldn't put off, my hands and my mind had to start creating, of course, what I had always been passionate about ... the knife!

I started at 40, in 2003, practically self-taught, I had no experience of manual work, but I had been a mechanical designer for many years and this allowed me to perfectly know the technique and all the various stages of mechanical processing.

Currently I am a member, with the rank of Master, which is the highest, of the Italian Knives Guild, an association recognized all over the world for the seriousness and above all quality of execution that all its members must maintain over time.

What I do now is what I consider my art form ..., to create "handcrafted, hunting and collectible knives".

They are knives made entirely by hand, only with an infinite series of files, a small drill for the holes and a sander for the concave grinding of the blades, nothing else!
I mainly make folding knives, which satisfy my desire to build perfect mechanical objects and perfection in the smallest details, even inside where they are not seen, is what distinguishes a knife created by hand, from one made industrially .

The mechanics then must be made in the best possible way, without counting the hours of work, only in this way the final result is guaranteed.

Of course, over the years I have refined my technique and currently I have improved the mechanics even more by inserting a system of ball bearings on the blade rotation, which guarantee an absolutely perfect seal and allow the blade to close and open without the slightest friction. and with an incredible sweetness.

With regard to the blades then, I am experimenting with new types of hardening, which give hardnesses of 62-63 HRC and allow an exceptional edge hold and cutting quality for all types of use.

I make practically all the knives on an initial design of mine, they are all unique pieces made completely by hand down to the smallest details, one at a time, only in this way, in my opinion, a knife can be considered "artisanal".

Regarding the materials I use, I can say that for the blades I prefer RWL34 steel which is sintered from powders and guarantees the total absence of internal defects, sometimes I also use damascus, both stainless steel and carbon, for the uniqueness 'that give the knife, since each damask is always different from another.

For the handles, one of the most beautiful materials is the mammoth tooth, which can be found in a variety of wonderful colors, I also use fossil mammoth ivory, various briars, titanium and carbon fiber.

Most of the knives, however, are made entirely of steel, in order to then be engraved, always and strictly by hand, to transform the knife even more into a real work of art ...
