TRC Knives Urban Tactical Apocalyptic Elmax Natural Canvas Micarta Kydex

TRC Knives Urban Tactical knife features an energetic design with a distinctive urban-tactical style. Despite its stylistic leanings, this knife is highly versatile. The Urban Tactical is perfect for everyday use as well as various outdoor activities. It excels as a companion for a wide range of hikes and mountain expeditions.

Currently, the Urban Tactical represents a new version of a design that was produced in very limited numbers in the past. With TRC’s current manufacturing capabilities, this production stands out as a full-fledged innovation, responding to the persistent demand from the brand’s fans for this model. Today’s Urban Tactical boasts a universal drop point blade and a handle with bold, dynamic lines highlighted by a bidirectional milling technique (lengthwise to visually elongate the blade and crosswise). The construction includes jimping on the blade spine and partially on the handle, with similar jimping on the opposite side at the lower, rear part of the knife. This element enhances balance and improves the overall grip.

This version features premium European Elmax steel with a unique Apocalyptic finish, giving each knife a distinct appearance. The handle is made from carefully selected Natural Canvas Micarta, secured to the tang with dark through-pins. The knife comes with a black Kydex sheath featuring a nylon-coated belt loop fastened with a Pull-The-Dot snap, which only opens in one direction for added security.

TRC Knives – World Quality from Lithuania

Lithuanian brand founded by knifemaker Andrius Tricius. The manufactory located in Ukmerge is the workplace of a small but experienced TRC team. Individual works in many cases are carried out manually by qualified team members, the subsequent stages with the use of machines take place under the watchful eye of specialists. All this to maintain the highest standards of manual, precise craft production. By definition, production is limited, and the quality of workmanship is the highest priority of the brand and its founder. The TRC Knives offer includes knives for survival, bushcraft, general outdoor, everyday use (EDC) and tactical tasks made of the best materials available on the market. Knives made by TRC present great usability, and more or less limited editions are desirable in the world of collectors.

Standards of Workmanship – Quality Control

The process of making each knife is meticulous and very critical. Any member of the small TRC team during any of the production stages has doubts and notices even a minimal deviation from the established standard – the knife does not leave the workshop. This means that all cuts, roundings, gluing are made with maximum precision and TRC is more likely to agree to a delay in delivery than to “release” an unpolished copy.

Urban Tactical – Trustful and Versatile Tool

Elmax Premium Steel as a Quality Guarantee

Urban Tactical is a knife with a full tang construction, made of one carefully selected piece of material running the entire length and width of the handle. Knife is made of the highest quality Elmax steel. Elmax is the European steel from UDDEHOLM company, one of the few steels available on the market that are in the absolute top quality of materials used for the production of premium knives. Its best properties are obtained by properly performing the hardening process, in which 3 stages must be flawlessly performed: hardening, cryogenic cooling (freezing) and tempering (more about the manufacturing process of TRC Knives can be found in an interview with Andrius Tricius, which you can read HERE). A properly prepared Elmax blade is extremely resistant to overload, stays sharp for a very long time (wears very slowly) and has excellent anti-corrosion properties.
