KOSMOS
Compact. Precise. Timeless.
A modern reimagining of the TR-12S, KOSMOS is a compact fixed blade for EDC. The Kosmos unites precision, balance, and elegance in one seamless form. Compact yet powerful, crafted from RWL-34 steel and perfected with a Black Canvas Micarta handle and Satin finish — an exceptional, luxurious combination. Designed for everyday carry (EDC), it is a practical companion for routine cutting tasks and outdoor exploration. Hardened to 62–63 HRC, the 85 mm blade features a false edge and sharpening choil. At 185 mm overall and 3.5 mm thick, KOSMOS delivers strength without excess. A horizontal-carry Kydex sheath completes the knife.

The
The name: KOSMOS
Alexander von Humboldt explored the natural world through science, travel and writing. In his work Kosmos, he sought to describe nature as an interconnected whole. That meeting of observation and imagination inspired the name of this TRC knife.
The TR-12S, reimagined
KOSMOS continues the TR-12S lineage in a refined form. Its slightly lengthened 85 mm blade adds a false edge and sharpening choil, retaining the compact character of the original.
A compact everyday companion
A Satin-finished RWL-34 blade, Black Canvas Micarta handle and horizontal-carry Kydex sheath bring together the materials and proportions of KOSMOS. At 185 mm overall, it is designed for everyday utility and outdoor exploration.
"A TRC classic and Andrius' EDC of choice — refined, elevated, and inspired by those who stand closest to the brand's core."
