Massdrop Terzuola

[BadComrade]

They took Terzuola’s name off it and sent an email telling us this after shipping them out, classy

I was stunned they did this. Completely messed up business practices. I ponied up the money 6 months ago and they tell us about this AFTER they ship them out.

Something doesn’t seem right about this.... if Bob wanted to make alterations to the logo then why not just say that??? Saying they did it to “clean up the look” just doesn’t make sense.

I'd expect no less from the company. Md is dead to me, always has been. I seriously did not get the appeal of any of these "projects"

I just saw this email. I'm angry about this, I thought this design was final. This knife is the first and last I ever order from massdrop

I agree. The “cleaner design” nonsense is patently dishonest and it only makes them seem like a dishonest company, really undermines my desire to be understanding or enjoy the knife on its merits.

I'm going to try to enjoy the knife despite this, but the only reason I bought this knife was because of the Terzuola design. Yes, it is still a Terzuola design and has the logo on it, but removing his name, and waiting until after all the knives ship to tell the customers makes me distrust massdrop as a company.

 

[evilgreg]

IMO, this is scummy. If they thought the design was too wordy, how about not putting "massdrop" on the blade--something that would make me like it more--rather than dropping the Terzuola name.

The hardware in the photo they posted is also a dirty bronze rather than the satin bronze in the original photos.

 

[Yo Mama]

Makes sense now me saying logos matter?

Sorry to those duped by a company that never should have had free publicity here. Maybe you can get your money back?

I have already emailed them regarding my dissatisfaction. I doubt that it will matter any to them. I am waiting for the knife to arrive before requesting a return.

I believe that removing the name was not what happened. I think that We Knives screwed up and did not print them correctly and rather than sending all the knives back to be fixed, MassDrop concocted this whole “it looks cleaner” scenario. This is why it only came up after they were doing the QC on the knives. They need to own it and offer full refunds to those who request it.

I ordered one of these back in April-May when they became available. Two reasons; 1. I handled a few WE knives at a B&M store and was really impressed. 2. I wanted to own a Terzoula designed knife.

One of the biggest gripes I’ve read about MD knives on BF is how many people don’t like MD’s logo. Reading this, I’m really disappointed. One of the distinguishing features of any designer/collaboration knife is their logo. The fact that they opt’d to remove it for a “cleaner” look seems fishy to me. I should get mine on Thursday but I will not be able to business with MD anymore. This sucks. It’s only a logo and I use all my knives but I enjoy knives that bear the designers logo, especially when it comes from someone like Terzoula.

I was thinking this was the case.... I bet WE accidentally printed a previous design of the knife or something and it was noticed during the QC. Still shaking my head about this. I was excited they were shipping early and was convinced we weren't going to have another Perpetua on our hands but low and behold....

WE is a competent company, if they messed up a logo they could easily fix it.

This is true. I got the Massdrop Buc which was also manufactured by WE and it was one of the best fit and finishes I've seen on a knife in my short time in collecting.

Massdrop is definitely hiding something here. I wish they were truthful here because nobody is buying their current excuse.

And the hype just bit.

I too think that someone forgot to request the logo so it didn't get put on and they found out when it arrived and decided it was better.

People like good makers logos, not MD logos.

Regardless the hype machine won again.

No, the logo is there, It's just different than what was advertised.

See pictures below. They removed his name and enlarged his logo. People (including me) are pissed the name is removed. And they tell everyone in the drop AFTER they shipped the knives with no communication about this decision AT ALL. Oh and some are also mad the hardware is also a different color... cherry on top.

I suspected the same too

I’m disappointed as well. I would rather have the Massdrop logo removed. I just think it’s underhanded to tell everyone this after the knives started shipping. Their excuse was lame. Still excited the get the knife but my trust is MD is done. I have the Laconico knife coming and that will be my last knife with them.

 

[Mo2]

Oh. Well that's not what the other guys in the thread said so thanks for clearing that up.
The logo with the name looks far better.

Massdrop have alot to learn. They really don't do well with knives. But great with hype.

Wow, with the pictures together like that the difference in how the hardware looks is pretty harsh.
