Spyderco Bob Terzuola Slipit slipjoint folding knife.

[xmoroseguyx]

If you remove the three screws on the handle, Would the whole knife split completely into three pieces? Or is that part of the handle were that lanyard is located, A solid piece of carbon fibre? Also, I have to say for me personally, I think the hole in the blade is to big, The hole is completely outside the handle when folded and so is much of the blade, They could have compacted the blade more in the handle by only exposing part of the hole, making a sleeker and more protected knife

[oromoto]

@xmoroseguyx It will be separated in 2 handle slabs and a back spacer. But you have to unscrew all 6 screws though. About the hole, it is about the right size for this knife, I do prefer it a bit bigger though for easier opening. The spydie hole is a love/hate design. Very useful but weakens the blade and as you say the blade is raised. But nevertheless, for daily use it is very easy to open.

[xmoroseguyx]

@oromoto Thanks for the quick reply, 6 screws is it? I thought they were three of those straight threaded screws with a small nut on the other end, Your right about the love/hate of the spyderco drilled hole in the blade design, Me, I am not so keen, I can see it`s an easier opening than say a slit or notch, Plus other advantages like less weight, Cheap and quick to do at the factory, And no problem left handed, But, Why is easier opening for you, So preferable for a pocket knife?

[oromoto]

@xmoroseguyx Yeah 6 screws, 4 are screwed into the back spacer, and 2 from the pivot. The spydie hole is easier to open because I like to flick it with my middle finger, thumb studs are hard to flick with middle finger. But thumb studs are easier to flick with the thumb. I usually carry my knife tip up so flicking with middle finger makes deployment faster.

[xmoroseguyx]

@oromoto I understand your preference, for a fast deploying knife, And why a drilled hole would be help with that, Compared to say? A small nail slit or curved notch, Myself, I have a preference for a more secure closure in a pocket knife, Rather than a swift opening, The only other thing is, The ball bearing " Soft locking " device, I presume that if the handle was to warp, Or the bearing or hole it drops into was to wear thin, That the blade would be loose, Is that repairable?

[oromoto]

@xmoroseguyx Well, my preference on all knives is flipper style. The hole catches the tip of the finger thus making it less likely to slip. The detent ball (I hope I am understanding your question) is usually a much harder steel (or sometimes ceramic) than the blade, so it is going to be very hard for the blade to wear it down to to a point that is too loose, although it happens when the cut out is not deep enough.

"It has 2 balls"

[oromoto]

@hock4540 actually 2 pairs of balls :)

[Smith28Adventure]

Why the hell is this knife never looked at and everyone always goes with the UKPK? In my opinion this is a MUCH better looking blade.

[oromoto]

@Smith28Adventure Absolutely!! I think the only reason might be because it is a 3 in blade. If it was a 2 15/16 then it is legal in UK. I am not sure though.

[Smith28Adventure]

@oromoto Ahh that makes sense, thanks for filling me in man.

He was the first knifemaker to use a thumb disc as an opener and is usually credited with being the first to use the term, tactical knife.

I just saw this video and noticed a couple of things. Even though he resides in New Mexico, Bob Terzuola is actually Guatemalan

[oromoto]

@MiGAngeI Those are some really nice info, thanks!!

Hello Tsu,

[ApSprem]

you sound like an old door

[oromoto]

@ApSprem it means?

[TheEnglishRedneck45]

Can I ask how thick the handle on this beauty is?

[oromoto]

@TheEnglishRedneck45 The thickness of the handle is 1cm or 3/8 inch, 4 inches long or 10 cm long.

[TheEnglishRedneck45]

@oromoto My apologies, I never thanked you for telling me the handle thickness. Thank you!

[oromoto]

@TheEnglishRedneck45 Not a problem !

[TheEnglishRedneck45]

@oromoto I finally just ordered one - the decisive video. At long last, a legal English carry.

[oromoto]

@TheEnglishRedneck45 congrats, it is a very nice folder.

[MadelnJapan]

I just bought this from ebay hope i like it :)

[oromoto]

@MadelnJapan I liked mine :) it's an easy carrying EDC.

[dylbyl1234]

wow i swear first time see'n that knife i was like wtf why not wave it cause did u see how above the hole they could of waved it there

[oromoto]

@dylbyl1234 man, I think you can be a great buddy with charliemike. He's a youtuber here who loves to wave his knives :) The hole was near the top of the blade for easier thumb deploying and thumb ramps.

[bankmind80]

I like this knife! You know why??? Left hand carry option!!! Plus its a very sexy blade.

[oromoto]

@bankmind80 Glad you liked it! I think it's a pretty good office user.

[pwrmek]

wicked awesome blade dude, I got new headphones - I can hear birds in the background, maybe they were always there and I just never heard them??

[oromoto]

@pwrmek LOL, them birds making noises while I was shooting a video :)

[PavlovSandor]

what kind of camera do you use for your videos. i want to look into making vids. that must be the biggest slip it that spyderco makes so far. i love my grasshopper. its a great size. i carry it when i dont want to cut anything with the other knife im carrying. i keep some knives just for self defense purposes so i want to keep them as sharp as possible. i can sharpen a knife but nothing beats a factory edge depending on which brand of knife it is.

[oromoto]

@PavlovSandor Hey there, I use Panasonic GF-1, too complex for me LOL...thanks for watching man!

[DesertKnifeGuru]

Nice Spyderco Collab.!!! DKG

[oromoto]

@DesertKnifeGuru Thanks for watching guru!

[1AbominAble1]

The camera is working great buddy, great views of this one. What a nice piece!! Double set of double detents- how interesting!!!

[oromoto]

@1AbominAble1 Thanks bro! I figured it's better to let people know how it works since I haven't found vids that explained the mechanism on this one.

[Bustlead9]

The cf on the bob t is exactly the same as the sage 1

[oromoto]

@Bustlead9 nice to know, thanks!!

[fredde90210]

I am amazed how good Spyderco made in Taiwan is, I would get a Terzuola but I don´t care for slipjoints anymore...but perhaps... hehe.

[oromoto]

@fredde90210 this one is getting a lot of pocket time lately, easy to use and super easy to carry.

[darkchild57]

I really like the CF on this! So the CF is like the Sage 1? I have this knife on my list right now, thanks for the vid because I'm definitely going to get it if I can!

[oromoto]

@darkchild57 I don't have a sage 1 to do the comparison :( but I think sage 1 uses a flat surface carbon fiber.

[darkchild57]

@oromoto The Sage 1 is textured, you can feel the individual weave of the CF. The Native I just picked up is polished to smooth surface. You should add a Sage 1 to your collection:) They are still widely available unlike the Sage 2.

[oromoto]

@darkchild57 don't tempt me!

[thomassmyth65]

great review, great knife, thanks

[oromoto]

@thomassmyth65 greatly appreciated!

[samurai165]

What a beauty, that carbon fiber is perfect! Great video oro

[oromoto]

@samurai165 thanks man! I am loving it too!
