Fox Terzuola Folding Knives

Designed by Bob Terzuola, these Fox folders are made from premium materials in a sleek and portable package. Each folder offered features a blade made from Bohler N690Co stainless steel, a cobalt vanadium alloy that’s rust resistant and relatively easy to sharpen. The handles come in all sorts of materials: For a more natural look and feel, go for one of the wood versions in Bocote or Ziricote; for something stronger and more tactical, go for the titanium Titan or Titan II. All models are fitted with a rock-solid liner lock and a thumb disk, Terzuola’s signature opening mechanism. The titanium versions also have a right-handed titanium clip for pocket carry.

Bob Terzuola is one of the most respected designers in the world of custom knives. After growing up in Brooklyn and graduating from NYU, he joined the Peace Corps and worked in Panama. Then he moved to Guatemala, where he trained as a jade carver and eventually began making knives for soldiers. Terzuola’s first designs were heavy duty fixed blades, as was necessary for the line of duty and dense jungles of Central America. However, soon Terzuola saw a need for a knife with just as much utility that could be carried discreetly. The result? The first ever tactical folding knife, made with a spine-mounted thumb disc, micarta scales, and a titanium liner lock. Later, as his career took off and his following grew, he went on to write a book on the construction of the liner-locked tactical folder in 2000. Today he enjoys a significant following thanks to his incomparable craftsmanship and unmistakable aesthetic.
