TRC Knives Limited Edition Apocalypse, Satin Vanadis 4E, Natural Canvas Micarta, survival knife

The TRC Knives Limited Edition Apocalypse is a robust and large survival knife, made in Lithuania. This particular version of the Apocalypse is a limited edition of only 200 pieces worldwide. With the Apocalypse, TRC presents a knife that can handle anything. The source of inspiration for the TRC is the population of the Sentinel Islands. A tribal community which has been avoiding all forms of communication with the outside world for hundreds of years. Marco Polo described the Sentinelese as the most brutal people he had ever seen. To them all outsiders are aliens, and they do whatever necessary to defend themselves. The TRC Apocalypse is the knife you want to have close whenever you find yourself in such a situation.


The blade of the TRC Knives Apocalypse is made from Vanadis 4 Extra steel, which consistently excels in endurance tests. Few steels retain their sharpness for such a long time. Moreover, the material is very tough and can take a beating. Normally, Vanadis 4 Extra is used almost exclusively by a handful of small, artisan knife makers, making it hard to find.


The handle is made from micarta. It might be hard to see on the photograph, but the surface has been enhanced with a subtle checkered pattern. Because the rounded tang of the blade extends just a millimetre beyond the handle, the handle fills your hand even better. The TRC-typical three-hole screws give it just that last little bit extra that makes you sure this is a special knife.


The TRC Knives Apocalypse comes with a nice kydex sheath. It beautifully fits around the knife, you can definitely tell that a lot of attention was paid to it. The sheath is enhanced with a flexible belt loop with can also be converted for left-handed use. Of course you can also select your own mounting method and screw this to the mounting holes. There is also a firesteel loop you can use to carry your firesteel (not included). Please note: kydex almost always leaves behind small scratches on the blade as it slides in and out of the sheath. This is normal.
