10 Days, 10 Designers: Bob Terzuola — Godfather of the Tactical Knife
Published: 2 days ago
Some designers create knives. Others help shape an entire industry.
In this episode of 10 Days, 10 Designers, we spotlight Bob Terzuola—the Godfather of the Tactical Knife. From grinding and polishing jade to creating the ATCF and collaborating with Spyderco on the C15, his work helped bridge the gap between custom craftsmanship and production knives.
His influence reaches beyond blades into handle materials, sheaths, and carry systems—and into the modern knife culture we enjoy today.
