Bob Terzuola, "Godfather of the Tactical Folder," joins Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco on Episode 479 of The Knife Junkie Podcast (https://theknifejunkie.com/479).
Terzuola's first knives were fixed-blade combat designed combat knives made for soldiers, CIA operatives and security personnel working in Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua.
In 1984, Terzuola began making folding knives. Seeing a need for a knife that could be carried discreetly he developed a model using black micarta for scales and a bead-blasted titanium frame and coined the term "Tactical Knife".
Terzuola's most popular model is the ATCF (Advanced Technology Combat Folder), a linerlock folding knife. At first strictly tactical, he now makes the ATCF in a variety of exotic materials.
Terzuola wrote the definitive book on making tactical folders called "The Tactical Folding Knife," which was most recently updated in 2019.
Terzuola has collaborated with other knifemakers and production companies, including Spyderco, Strider Knives, WE/Civivi, Microtech Knives and others. His latest production collaboration is a version of the ATCF with FOX Knives Italy.
Terzuola is releasing A Sharp Life, a video series Masterclass in knifemaking. He also offers ShopTalk a subscription service for knifemakers.
In June 2023, Terzuola was inducted into the “Cutlery HALL of FAME” at Blade Show in Atlanta, Georgia.
