Knife Handles
What you actually hold.
The blade gets the headlines. The handle gets the hours. Here is how TRC chooses handle materials, and what each one feels like in the hand.
G-10
G-10 is a fiberglass-laminate composite — bonded with epoxy under heat and pressure. It is hard, stable in any climate, and grips reliably wet or dry. The default choice for serious working knives.
APOCALYPSE CONVEX GRIND
Apocalypse with convex grind for maximum cutting efficiency. Built for do-or-die survival situations.

CLASSIC FREEDOM DLC

Handcrafted from M390 steel with a 92mm blade, DLC-coated for ultimate protection, black G-10 scales, and full tang construction. Just 123g with Kydex sheath. Freedom, tactical.

Micarta
Linen, canvas, or paper layered into resin and pressed under heat. Micarta develops a patina that becomes part of the knife's history — every TRC Micarta handle ages with its owner.

CLASSIC FREEDOM BCM DLC
Hemingway fished off Cuba with a knife strapped to his belt. Not for show — for freedom. The ability to cut line, process fish, or survive if a storm turned his boat into driftwood. The CLASSIC FREEDOM BCM DLC carries that same philosophy into shadow. Classic lines meet modern stealth: DLC-coated M390 kills glare and adds a hardened outer shell over an already elite blade. Black canvas micarta scales grip harder when wet, cold, or bloody. The red liner underneath is a quiet reminder that freedom was paid for. Built for professionals who need capability without profile: plainclothes operators, security teams, night-shift LEOs, and civilians who prefer their tools to disappear until needed. Full tang, 92 mm blade, 205 mm overall, black Kydex sheath.
