Bob Terzuola - was born in Brooklyn, New York and attended New York University. After graduating in 1967, he went to Panama as a Peace Corps instructor, and later became a jade carver and gemmologist in the Motagua River Valley in Guatemala. In 1979 Terzuola began making knives, and in 1981, at the urging of Bob Loveless, he joined the Knifemakers' Guild. Terzuola's first knives were fixed-blade knives made for soldiers in Guatemala. Later that year, he moved to New Mexico and began making folding knives. Seeing a demand for a knife that could be carried discreetly, he developed a model with black micarta on the blade and sandblasted titanium bolsters. This is an innovative solution for which he coined the term "tactical knife." Bob Terzuola participates in many of the largest and most famous knife fairs around the world.

M390 - a martensitic high-performance chrome steel produced by powder metallurgy. Due to the alloy concept, it has extremely high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. Due to its high wear resistance, it adequately maintains the shape of the edge, so the blade stays sharp for a very long time (requiring minimal maintenance). Another of the advantages is resistance to the formation of "wire" during sharpening. The steel has a high chromium content of 20.0% (Cr) doped with 1.9% carbon (C), vanadium 4.0% (V), and is hardened between 59-61 HRC. This super steel is comparable to Carpenter's CPM 20CV or CTS-204P steels. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.

Blade - modified drop point. Opened with a quick flipper flipper, so right- and left-handed people can use it without any problems. In countries where one-handed opening knives are banned, the flipper can be unscrewed and the knife can be opened with the help of milled recesses in the blade. Ball bearings are responsible for the smooth operation of the opening mechanism. For ease of sharpening, the beginning of the cutting edge starts with a small choil. A mixed grind was used in this case, in the front part is a high, concave grind for cutting and precision work, the so-called Hollow Ground Primary Bevel. In the rear part we have a high Flat Ground ground. To improve piercing capabilities, an unsharpened false blade was brought out in the upper part. The blade has been finished with an elegant Satin finish. The entire blade is locked with the proven and popular liner lock.

Handle - bolsters made of 6AL4V titanium, handle made of Carbon Fiber, carbon fiber compressed with synthetic resin. Chamfered edges of the covers eliminate sharp edges. The facings are screwed to an intricately machined titanium backspacer, giving assurance of many years of use. A single-position (right/left) deep-carry clip allows you to carry the knife discreetly in your pocket in the tip-up (blade tip up) position. In the back of the handle a hole for threading a safety or decorative cord.

Case - included zippered soft nylon case with the manufacturer's logo for safe storage and transportation of the folder.
