Overview

The Perfect EDC

Originally designed in the 80s by industry legend Bob Terzuola as a pocket knife to be used and carried every day, this heritage release pairs a MagnaCut sheepsfoot blade with a Grade 5 Titanium handle that doesn't take over your pocket. We did our best to maintain the OG Mariner's aesthetic and spirit but scaled it down to comply with the sub 3" knife laws, added a 3D machined pocket clip with Bob's signature dragon head logo, lowered the footprint, and swapped in a dovetailed thumb disc to create a modern throwback and testament to precision machining.

Fun Fact: The dragon head represents Etz Nab (also Etz'nab), the Mayan God of flint tools and edge weapons.

In 1979, Terzuola began making knives and joined the Knifemakers' Guild in 1981 on an endorsement from Bob Loveless. Terzuola's first knives were fixed blade designs made for soldiers in Guatemala. Later that year moved to New Mexico and began making folding knives. Seeing a need for a knife that could be carried discreetly, he developed a model featuring black micarta for the scales and bead-blasted titanium bolsters. Innovations in desgin for which he coined the term "Tactical Knife". Bob attends many of the largest and well known custom knife shows across the world.
