Episode 35: Bob Terzuola

Mark of the Maker ·

2019/11/04

We know he feels a little uncomfortable with these kinds of terms, but to describe knifemaker Bob Terzuola as anything other than a "living legend" would be a disservice, in our opinion. Bob leads us through his personal timeline and shares many fantastic stories along the way. We also get some insights into the upcoming release of the much anticipated 2nd Edition of his book about knife making, "The Tactical Folding Knife."
