234,44 €This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.

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 gemologist 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 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.
CPM MagnaCut - powder stainless steel produced by the Crucible® Particle Metallurgy(CPM) process hardened to 60.5-62.5 HRC.

Blade - made of CPM MagnaCut powder steel , distinguished by excellent resistance to corrosion, abrasion and loss of sharpness even with prolonged, intensive use. The drop point profile with an elongated belly and high full flat grind ensures maximum cutting efficiency and full control for jobs requiring precision. The false blade further improves penetration properties without weakening the material structure. Blade surface was finished with stonewashed method , reducing the visibility of micro-scratches and emphasizing the utility character of the tool. The opening mechanism is based on a disk(thumb disc ) located on the back of the Blade, allowing comfortable and intuitive unfolding of the knife with one hand, both by right- and left-handed people. The design, based on a fine-tuned system with washers, ensures smooth operation of the mechanism, and a solid liner lock guarantees safety of use in all conditions.
