About Us

Terrain 365™ creates high-performance cutting tools and accessories built for tough wilderness conditions and everyday carry. We work with aerospace-grade metals and advanced super-alloys to engineer gear that performs reliably in any terrain.

Our proprietary Terravantium blades are fully rustproof, non-ferrous, and non-magnetic, designed to hold an edge far longer than traditional steels. Whether you're above the treeline, on the trail, or working underwater, Terrain 365™ tools stay sharp and require minimal upkeep, so you can stay focused on the job, mission, or adventure ahead.

Our Story

Terrain 365™ started in 2018 when Master Bladesmith Michael Vagnino and product designer Patrick Ma decided to create knives that could survive any environment. Both came from decades of hands-on experience — Michael from the craft of bladesmithing, and Patrick from designing gear trusted by professionals worldwide.

Michael began making knives in 1995 and eventually earned his Master Bladesmith rank. His work with metals led him to Dendritic Steels and Dendritic Cobalt — alloys with impressive edge retention and natural corrosion resistance. Learning how these materials were cast opened the door to something new, and that idea became the foundation of Terrain 365™.

Patrick grew up in the outdoors and built his career designing equipment for demanding users across knives, EDC, packs, and technical gear. His background in casting and fabrication made the partnership a natural fit.

Together, they set out to build rustproof, non-ferrous, non-magnetic tools that perform from mountain peaks to open water. Terrain 365™ is the result — knives engineered for people who need their gear to work anywhere, without compromise.
