About the TRC Knives K-1s Apocalyptic Biohazard 2022
Premium Steel Construction
The TRC Knives K-1s Apocalyptic Biohazard 2022 features a full tang construction, expertly crafted from high-quality Elmax steel. Elmax is one of the top-quality steels available for premium knife production. To achieve its best properties, the steel undergoes a precise hardening process consisting of three stages: hardening, cryogenic cooling (freezing), and tempering. A properly prepared Elmax blade is extremely durable, maintains its sharpness for an extended period (with minimal wear), and exhibits excellent corrosion resistance.
Versatile Blade for Every Challenge
The blade, with a thickness of 3.8 mm and a drop point style, excels in various outdoor applications. It is well-suited for woodworking tasks and food preparation. The flat grind enhances cutting performance and facilitates diverse cutting tasks. The blade also features jimping on the spine, providing thumb support for tasks requiring additional pressure. The jimping is delicately executed to avoid finger irritation while still providing a mini-file-like function. The knife includes a contoured guard and finger choil in the handle, ensuring a secure grip and preventing hand slippage during use. The rounded spine protruding from the handle enhances comfort and grip certainty.
Solid and Ergonomic Handle
The handle scales are made of moisture-resistant, temperature-resistant Natural Canvas Micarta, which exhibits high resistance to mechanical damage and most solvents and acids. Micarta, known for its excellent properties and visual appeal (can be stylized to resemble natural materials), features a textured, non-slip surface. The handle scales are securely attached and harmonize with the knife’s overall design. The thoughtful construction ensures a comfortable fit in hand and provides a strong and secure grip. At the handle’s end, an opening is designed for attaching an additional lanyard, serving as a safeguard against accidental drops. Each K-1s Apocalyptic Biohazard 2022 knife comes with a short section of paracord intricately woven with a brass pin in the middle. Besides its visual effect, this element significantly facilitates knife retrieval from a sheath.
Durable Kydex Sheath
The knife comes with a black Kydex sheath, hand-formed and attached to the belt using a heavy-duty nylon loop. The flexible loop adapts to movements during activities like kneeling or bending, reducing uncomfortable pressure or body interference. For easy knife extraction, the precisely fitted Kydex sheath features a thumb ramp that allows controlled
