Product Description
If you’ve never heard of Bob Terzuola, you’ve more than likely seen his contributions to the knife industry over the last four decades. After all, he invented the tactical folder and he wrote a book, The Tactical Folding Knife, to share his techniques with peers Read More
Loose is not descriptive enough. If there is vertical play when opened, that is a warranty deal. If the blade is closed and rattles, that is the detent and another warranty deal. If the play is side to side, it is probably a pivot adjustment, and you may need to apply heat, as other said, and do the adjustment. If you apply locktite to the threads, use blue medium strength, adjust the pivot and leave the knife alone for a day or two. Threadlocker cures in the absence of air and it takes a little time. Don't use too much or it will be tough to disassemble later.
It doesn’t disappear, but it definitely isn’t overly pronounced sticking out. I’d say that only a little over half an inch shows above the pocket line. Great knife, I’d definitely recommend it!
There is no clear definition. It’s probably most “correctly” used for an EDC knife that is modeled after a fighting knife, or an EDC knife that has features that would make it decent for self defense as it’s secondary purpose, such as a blade good for piercing, easy one handed opening or a robust build. Most often these days, companies slap “tactical” on a knife because it sounds cool and sells knives. But in the case of this knife, it’s probably permissible to call it “tactical” because its design is based on Bob Terzuola’s ATCF, which is a combat folding knife.
odonnellpBeats the crap out of me. Neither the scales not the blade is black and mine was purchased here, and not at a mall. Perhaps it shall remain a cosmic mystery. On second thot, I'm starting to think the odonnellp is right. It is simply a marketing ploy to force you to purchase this now and ask questions later.
14themoneyI think it’s appropriate to use the term here. Terzuola’s been making combat knives for something like 50 years, and this is a scaled down but faithful representation of that knife.
odonnellpThank you for the input. I am quite new to this sport and I have a cynical side as well. I need to look up some history on this guy. I am familiar with the name and the fact he was involved pretty early in the game. From what you have said, I can understand the reason that this adjective would be appropriate in this instance.
Water stones are the best way to sharpen any knife.
Most people will not want to invest the time and money in a set of Naniwa Choseras or Shapton Glass stones though.
Chances are if you're reading up on this you don't have much experience sharpening knives.
But if you're on a budget go with the Lansky sharpening set.
If you have deeper pockets and lots of knives, look at the Edge Pro and Wicked Edge sharpening systems.
