I'm not kidding when I say that this knife is in better condition than a lot of brand new knives I have gotten recently from the dealer that have never been out of their box except to be inspected at Spyderco! :eek:Hillbillenigma wrote: Someone really took care of that knife. Great Catch!!
Robert Terzuola C-15
Nice score and great pics once again. I wish I would have started compiling felly pics in a folder a while ago. I might just have to search back and do that. I think a high quality "coffee table" photo book of spydies is long over due.

I like that first Terzuola, but its too small for my hands. Consequently, the Starmate is one of my two all time favorites. More than the C15, I'd love to see a larger version of the Starmate. Ah, ****. Just make 'em all bigger. :D
Its all fun and games til somebody loses an eye, then its fun and games you can't see.

Funny statement about the ugly. I find the Spyderco Terzoula the most uninspiring knife the great bug ever produced. Look at a venerable Worker to a Terzoula :spyder: . In the design and ergos the worker is the far better choice IMO.sal wrote:I had been a member of the US Custom Knifemakers Guild since '79, so I got to know many of the makers.
Bob "T" and I were having a conversation (circa late '88). He said that all of my knife designs were ugly. I said they were functional. He said they can be both functional and better looking. I said, "if you think so, you design one with our requirements (round hole / clip) and I would build it.
He did and we did. That's what began the collaborations with Spyderco and custom makers.

The T is a sharpened rectangle. :rolleyes:
Follow the mushin, but pay it no heed.
I would love to see both the Worker and the "sharpened rectangle" make a come back in a sprint run some day. I really dig the idea of a Commemorative C-15, and heck, how about the C-19 Jr. as well?zenheretic wrote:Funny statement about the ugly.

Yes, I agree 100%, let's see some change up in the bug. I like the etched bug much better than the laser engraved one.
oh boy -- i would LOVE a new spydie bob t. knife!!!!!!!!!!!!
had one of the first terzuolas... which i bought for a ridiculously cheap price, NIB. (i think like $60?). sold it because i didn't realize at the time i bought it that it was a lefty :o ... got considerably more $$$ than i put into it, and converted that to other spydies...
but yes, a new collaboration would be wonderful... although, i'll be crossing my fingers it stays below the $100 mark...

You better cross your toes, eyes, legs and anything else you could conceivably cross on that one! :eek:clovisc wrote:oh boy -- i would LOVE a new spydie bob t. knife!!!!!!!!!!!!

:D Most assuredly a new RT will be over $100, but it's ok to dream a little. :)-
