Mariner 2 from Tactile Knife Co. Brings a Classic Design into the Modern Era

Tactile Knife Co. has been on a roll lately with a number of impressive knife releases, and their latest standout is the Mariner 2—a modern iteration of a beloved heritage piece. Redesigned in collaboration with legendary knifemaker and father of tactical folders, Bob Terzuola, who crafted the OG Mariner in the 1980s, the Mariner 2 brings a fresh, modern edge to a time-tested classic. Proudly machined in the USA, the Mariner 2 features a top-of-the-line 2.98″ MagnaCut satin-finished sheepsfoot blade for superior cutting power, corrosion resistance, and sub-3″ knife law compliance. It also sports the signature stonewashed Grade 5 titanium handle, complemented by a 3D machined pocket clip with Terzuola’s dragon head logo, a reliable liner lock, and an ambidextrous dovetailed thumb disc (available in five different options), all while maintaining a minimal footprint at just 3.58 oz. As a big fan of classic designs, I appreciate how this upgraded model retains the essence of its original while offering us enhanced functionality in a more compact form. The first batch of the Mariner 2 sold out quickly, so if you’re looking to own a piece of this refined classic knife, make sure to secure yours before this second batch also sells out.
