Thats a Terzuola, the guy is the father of the modern tactical knife, or so I've read. It looks like a great knife, if I had the dough, I'd buy it.
 
That's not the big reason I want it, I guess a name really does sell the knife. I found the same one on scam Bay, I'd love to get one.
 
You'll be hard pressed to get any negative comments about Bob's (or almost any custom makers) work on this or most other forums. Comments on the design choices are another thing.

Like his knives or not, Bob is an icon in the industry and was the pioneer in many of the features commonly found on knives today.

I like the majority of his designs but I'm not a big fan of any single liner knives, but again that's just a preference choice, plenty of people love them.
 
Yes , The first one is called: Bob Terzuola ~ ATCF Fighter
The second one is : Bob Terzuola ~ All Ti ATCF Fighter
 
I saw some of Bob's knives at a show and they were indeed very nice. As has been mentioned he is basically the inventor of the modern tactical folder. I also really like the ATCF and wouldn't mind ading one to the collection. He does so many different variations that most people should have no problem finding one they like.

There has been some contriversy over the quality of his locks though. I think there was some discussion on it about a year or so ago, you can search for it if you wish. Basically though from talking with Bob I wouldn't hesitate to buy a knife from him. It seemed to me that as with most custom makers if for any reason you aren't satisfied, or if the knife fails he will take care of you.
 
bob terzuola is like the ford of the tactical knife. he's been around for a long time, since the 1980s i think. his work is top notch.
 
Bob Terzuola literally wrote the book on making tactical folders. He makes other kind of knives too, not just tacticals. If you like his style, I'm sure you won't be dissappointed.
 
Bob Terzuola's stuff is awesome. I handled a few of his knives at Paragon in NYC a while back, and as far as my hands are concerned, he makes the most comfortable handles anywhere. His stuff has Spyderco ergonomics and Benchmade good looks - I've read the thread about his locks, but I've noted a fair amount of variability in liner locks from all the makers whose work I've ogled. As long as the maker fixes the problem, it isn't a huge deal to me.
 
that knife has a matching book-the tactical folding knife. Also, bob is a member here, isn't he?

Ps-is it terz-OH-la, or ter-zoo-la?
 
Bob T is a legend of modern knifemaking. The price on that one sounds a bit on the "steep" side---but maybe the prices have gone up. :cool:
 
Anyone know how to get in touch with Bob Terzuola to custom order a knife. I'm left handed and have long wanted to order a left handed folder from him. Would appreciate any help on this. Thanks
