Terzoula C-15

[Dannyvi]

I have a Spydie Terzoula C-15 with serrated edge and black coated aluminum handles. It is a user and has scratches on the blade and coating chipped off parts of the handles. Can this be made to look good (almost new) again?? I have stopped using it but a bit too late. Except for the usage wear it is still 100 % functional( no blade plays, etc..). Just love the blade shape!

A have a few Aluminum handled Terzuolas. I love the look of those knives after they have been put to good use. One of mine is completely scratched up and it has a nicks all over the edges of the handle. Its blade also shows that it has seen its fair share of sharpening. But it is still 100% functional!

There is something very satisfying about using a well worn knife that has been with you for a while. I think that you should leave your knife as is because the scratches are just part of its history. Keep using it! More scratches will just be added with time.

I'd say that if the knife shows cosmetic signs of wear but is 100% functional, it is earning itself honor. Be proud that it is that way, don't go looking to restore it. If you want a mint specimen, get one and put it in a safe.

I got myself an almite CoPilot that I love like crazy, and it's in my pocket now and will be a "user." I also got one to keep pristine. If it matters enough to you, that's what you have to do.

If you are looking for museum quality then hunt for a New In the Box (NIB) knife listing.

It is possible to grind and polish out a blade to a very shiny finish and replace the handle scales but I'd rather just buy a NIB.
