I saw a C19 Terzuola Jr.( Ats34 ce,G-10 handle).
But the clip on it says Benchmade U.S.A.
is this correct.
Did they make it for Spyderco?
Anyone have any history on these knives.
Any info appreciated.
regards,Rick.
 
If I remember right, yes, the first run of Terzuola collaboration knives were manufactured by Benchmade under contract to Spyderco. This was before the manufacturing facility in Golden was up and running.
 
Yablononowitz is right with his answer - I agree. But there is one point: Rick wrote from a C19 CE with G-10 handles and this is not a knife from the first run, as those had had Aluminium handles. ;)

I guess the clip is not the original clip.
 
Any pics of the clip side of any of these alum. handled & G10 handled C19's?

it would help greatly.
thanks,Rick.
Also thanks to yablanowitz & Peter1960.
 
Thanks Ted very much for the links.
Anyone got pics of the clip sides of the C15 or 19?
regards,Rick.

I needed a pic of the clip side ,just to confirm things.
Its hard to find pics of this model .

Anyone else have any Terzuola pics to share?
Either side any variation.
C15,C19 Or C55.
all contributions welcome.
thanks,Rick.
 
I`ve just one picture of the clip side in poor quality, sorry :o (C15 + C19 + C55 with G-10 handles):

But you can ask me questions about details you are looking for, as these are my knives!
 
Thanks Peter ,any pics of the other sides?
Any pics of them with the blades open for size comparisson?
Also is that the way the clips came? In that position? Tip down.
The clips & screws are silver correct?
What patent #'s are on them?
thanks,regards,rick.
 
Clips + screws are silver, yes.

C15 - US PATENT 4347665 FORIEGN PATS PEND (yes, wrong spelling!)
C19 - US PATENT 4347665 FOREIGN PATS PEND

I don't know if the clip position is right, as I bought them new, without box and second hand.
 
How many variations can be found for each Terzuola model.
I know for the C15 & C19 they had the aluminum (first model)& G-10 handles (second)& came in Pe &CE .
I also believe the aluminum handles came marked Made in the USA & unmarked . Can anyone confirm this?
Also it appears blade markings came in stamped & etched form.
Is that correct.
I have gathered this from pics & am not certain.
Any help appreciated.
Also any history on these models more than welcome.
Thanks,to all,regards,Rick.
