TRC Knives Speed Demon: The Perfect Everyday and Outdoor Knife

TRC Knives Speed Demon knife belongs to the “Tales of Man” series, inspired by famous figures from past eras. It was inspired by the legendary American race car driver Frank Lockhart, known for pushing the boundaries of speed in the 1920s. The creators intended the Speed Demon to be a perfect, compact, efficient, and versatile tool. Despite its medium size, made from premium Elmax steel, it is suitable for “full-sized” tasks and is an ideal everyday carry (EDC) knife. With its skeletonized construction, the Speed Demon has a modern and stylish design. It looks sharp and cuts just as sharp…

The current edition, available for the first time since 2019, is numbered from 1 to 300.

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.

The Speed Demon Knife: Crafted for Excellence

Premium Steel Selection

The Speed Demon knife boasts a full-tang construction, meticulously crafted from a single carefully selected piece of material that spans the entire length and width of the handle. This exceptional knife is constructed using premium Elmax steel—a chromium-vanadium-molybdenum powdered steel known for its outstanding properties. Elmax is considered one of the top-quality materials available for crafting premium knives. Its exceptional attributes are achieved through a precise heat treatment process, involving three key stages: hardening, cryogenic cooling, and tempering. Well-prepared Elmax steel blades are exceptionally resilient, maintaining sharpness for an extended period, and possess excellent corrosion resistance.

Versatile Blade Design

The Speed Demon features a drop point-style blade with a flat grind, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The knife’s spine features a gentle contour designed for thumb support, while a groove in the handle aids in preventing hand slippage onto the cutting edge.

Ergonomic Handle Design

The knife’s ergonomic handle boasts an innovative skeletal structure that ensures a secure grip. All edges on the handle are precisely ground to enhance comfort during use. Additionally, the openings in the skeletal structure serve not only aesthetic purposes but also facilitate finger placement for an even more secure grip. They can also accommodate additional accessories such as lanyards or paracord.

Kydex Sheath

The Speed Demon knife comes with a kydex sheath that is hand-molded in black. It attaches to the belt via a urethane-coated webbing loop. This material provides durability and flexibility over a wide range of temperatures. The flexibility is especially beneficial during crouching or bending, as the sheath conforms comfortably to the body, reducing discomfort caused by pressure points or abrasions. To aid in easy knife retrieval, a thumb ramp is incorporated into the kydex sheath, allowing controlled and safe removal of the knife. Kydex is highly durable, known for its resistance to impacts, scratches, low moisture absorption, resistance to various weather conditions, and resistance to various chemicals. Kydex sheaths offer long-lasting and comfortable use. The sheath is equipped with pass-through pins and includes a substantial length of paracord, allowing the knife to be conveniently worn as a neck knife for quick access in demanding situations.
