Need info on FB Terzuola Cuda

Blade · Mar 1, 2000

I'm looking for a review/opinions on the Camillus fixed blade Cuda Terzuola design.

The model out now is a 5 3/4-inch blade. Is there a shorter FB in the works? How well does this knife work for concealed carry and what are the advantages/disadvantages of the sabre grind?

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Blade - I've been using a CQB-1 for the past several months. It's a great fixed blade. Though, it is designed with self-defense in mind, it does make a good utility blade. Right out of the box it is very sharp. The canvas micarta handles offer a comfortable grip. The Concealex carry rig the knife comes with is very versatile. With the included Tek-Lok fastener, the knife can be worn horizontally behind the back, vertically on the belt like any other sheath knife, and cross draw. Also included in the package is an IWB loop, which is my preferred method of carry. Even though the knife is about 12" overall, it is quite slim and carries very comfortably IWB. I'm right handed so I have the rig set up to where the CQB-1's handle is sticking out at my right side so I can grab at it quickly with my strong hand (right). Overall, I'm very pleased with the quality and performance of the CQB-1. Possibly the best fixed blade Camillus has done to date.

Camillus does have the smaller CQB-2 in the works and it is on track for a debut at the 2000 Blade Show in Atlanta, and hopefully shipping out to dealers a short while after that.
