296,98 €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 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.
N690Co - cobalt-rich 1.65% (Co) corrosion-resistant, high-carbon 1.07% (C), martensitic chromium steel 17.30% (Cr) with molybdenum 1.10% (Mo), vanadium 0.10% (V). Developed to provide better wear resistance compared to the original Böhler N690 steel, but with higher cobalt (Co) content in its composition. It features exceptionally high corrosion resistance and long edge retention. One of the best tool steels in the world today. Hardened in the range of 59-61 HRC. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.
Blade - drop point type finished with a scratch-masking and anti-reflection drip in fine Stonewashed pebbles. The light belly extends the length of the cutting edge relative to the length of the Blade converging towards the needle-sharp tip of the knife combined with the high, flat grind gives excellent cutting properties. The blade is set on Teflon washers supporting the work of the opening mechanism, thanks to which the folder can be efficiently unfolded by means of a disk on the back of the Blade (thumb disc). This solution allows both left- and right-handed people to open the knife without any problems. The whole is locked with a proven and popular frame lock with a steel inlay to prevent wiping of the lock face.
Handle - beveled titanium grips, slightly profiled. Open-backed design - so called open-backed attached to each other with steel spacer sleeves reduces weight and facilitates cleaning. Simple, solid construction gives you the assurance of many years of use. In the back there is a lanyard hole, which is a place for a safety or decorative cord. A single-position (right) titanium clip allows you to carry the knife discreetly in your pocket in tip-up position (blade tip up).
Additional accessories - a pouch for carrying and storing the knife.
