Who has them and what are your impressions.

Do you regard yours as a gents knife, common user, or what. Any info from a user is appreciated. Thanks much,:cool:

I'm still not too sure how I regard the Terzuola and I've had mine pretty much since they were releaed.

I like the looks of it and it's nicely made. The action is slightly "clunky".
If it had a slimmer profile I'd carry it. But for now I've put it back in its box.
 
I have had one for a while and like the blade design and the CF scales and it is well made and I would agree the action is a bit clunky but thats how its supposed to be but I think it is a tad small. I havn't used mine and probably wont as I bought it just to put in my collection.
 
I have one.

Overall I give the knife an "okay".

Well made of decent materials and it is a decent design as far as blade shape, which is thin for good cutting.

As with the UKPK, the knife is a bit difficult to open, but the blade also has a more positive bias to stay open in comparison to most slipjoints.
 
It's a fantastic knife. I disagree with "chunky" as I consider a half-stop better on a slippie. The blade profile is totally utilitarian, slices like a laser. Minimal weight and small tight clip make it pocket friendly. I did take off the lanyard and sand off the 'bump.' Made the perfect gent's carry EDC.
 
I agree with RLR's assessment. I've had mine since just after Blade this year, carried it and used it some, and it's a great knife in a smaller package. I also like 1/2 stops on slipjoints and I like the T's open construction.

F&F are top notch on mine. It's perfect for a warehouse knife that has to cut a lot of zip ties and slit open boxes and still be discreet doing it.
 
Thanks all. I've decided to put it on the "Down the road" list. I absolutely love Bob T's designs. However, currently, I'm in a user market, not a collector one. So, for the neighborhood of $90'ish, I'll get the Al Mar Eagle, Ultralight Talon instead. And to boot, I'll add the Byrd Wings Slipit for around $25ish more.

Thanks again for your replies.
