TRC Knives – World Quality from Lithuania

A Lithuanian brand founded by knifemaker Andrius Tricius. The workshop in Ukmergė is home to a small but experienced TRC team. Many operations are carried out manually by skilled craftsmen, with machine-assisted stages closely monitored by specialists. All of this is done to maintain the highest standards of precision and craftsmanship. Production is limited by design, with top-tier workmanship being the brand’s and its founder’s core priority. TRC Knives‘ lineup includes blades for survival, bushcraft, general outdoor use, everyday carry (EDC), and tactical applications, all made from premium materials. TRC Knives offer excellent functionality, and both limited and semi-limited editions are highly sought after by collectors.

South Pole – Designed for Every Challange

**TOP-TIER EUROPEAN STEEL**: The presented knife is made from a single piece of Vanadis 4 Extra* steel — an extremely hard and durable material resistant to overload, wear, and chipping, and renowned for its incredible sharpness. Thanks to these properties, it’s often used in survival and tactical knives built for diverse, often extreme, conditions.

**DURABLE COAtING**: The blade has been coated with a black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) layer — a carbon-based coating with a hardness close to that of a diamond (~90 HRC, where 100 corresponds to diamond hardness). This finish strengthens the blade, is chemically inert to acids and alkalis, protects against corrosion, and enhances its camouflage properties by eliminating light reflections at night.

**SOLID CONSTRUCTION**: Apocalypse features a full-tang construction, where the steel runs through the entire length and width of the handle. This full-tang build is the most durable type of fixed-blade knife construction.

**VERSATILE BLADE**: The blade with a spine thickness of +-4.2 mm (0.165″) made in the drop point style will meet most tasks that can be encountered while in the field. Work in wood or more subtle tasks, such as preparing a meal, are natural tasks for this knife.

**DESIGN DETAILS**: The spine features jimping that supports the thumb during controlled cuts requiring pressure. A shaped finger guard protects against slipping onto the edge during use.

**HANDLE MATERIAL**: The contoured handle scales are made from G10 laminate — a material resistant to moisture, temperature changes, most solvents and acids, and highly resistant to mechanical damage. The material has a non-slip, rough surface made in milling process.

**DURABLE AND COMFORTABLE HANDLE**: The ergonomically designed structure fits the hand well and ensures a strong, secure grip. The handle features through-pins that both secure the scales (alongside adhesive) and allow attachment of a lanyard — useful for drop protection or as an aid for drawing the knife from the sheath.

**CONVENIENT KYDEX SHEATH**: Included with the knife is a hand-formed Kydex sheath, attachable to a belt via a heavy-duty nylon loop. This attachment provides flexibility, adjusting naturally to the body during crouching or bending, avoiding pinching or discomfort. For easier knife deployment, a thumb ramp has been incorporated for controlled and safe extraction. The sheath includes through-holes for attaching accessories like the included ferro rod holder or for mounting the sheath to a backpack, harness, or MOLLE-compatible gear.

Kydex itself is a highly durable material, known for its impact resistance, scratch resistance, low moisture absorption, and resilience against various weather and chemical conditions. Sheaths made from Kydex are known for their long-term, comfortable use.
