A Legendary Tribute to the Master
Widely known as the "Godfather" of the tactical knife, Bob Terzuola started making folders in 1984. He led the industry's acceptance of the liner lock, refining his cutting-edge designs with trial and error and elbow grease. Bob is also known for authoring "The Tactical Folding Knife" which was first published in 2000 and has helped countless modern makers create their first folding knife.

We worked closely with Bob back in 2024 developing the Mariner 2 [Available at Tactile Knife Co.] – a folding knife he originally designed in the 80s that we reimagined and brought back into production. Last year his team reached out about doing a pen and, after we saw what they had in mind, the conversation immediately switched from "if" we should do a run to "how and when?"

Bob's trademark symbol, Etz Nab (also Etz'nab), represents the Mayan God of flint tools and edge weapons. The dragon head deep-engraved pattern is anodized gold is wrapped in a repeating pattern around the smooth dark gray body. We love how they turned out and hope they live up to the legendary Terzuola name.
