TRM Atom Royal Blue 3D Lizard Skin G10 MagnaCut Liner Lock Folding Knife (3.50" Blade)

Royal Blue 3D Lizard Skin G10 gives this TRM Atom color that runs through the handle rather than over it. The knife is a thin, flat-ground MagnaCut liner lock that carries lighter than its blade length.

• Royal Blue 3D Lizard Skin G10 Scales - Contoured three-dimensionally, then cut with a lizard skin texture, a repeating scaled relief machined into the face. Royal Blue runs through the G10 itself rather than sitting on top as a coating.
• Two-Screw Scale Swap - Two screws a side release the handle and nothing else comes apart, not the pivot, not the liners, not the lock. TRM catalogs more than thirty scale options in G10, Micarta, carbon fiber and titanium, sold as kits with the screws included.
• MagnaCut Drop Point - Ground full flat on thin stock and finished in a two-stage ceramic tumble, the blade slices well past what its size suggests. MagnaCut holds a working edge and resists corrosion at once, where most stainless steels ask you to pick one.
• Titanium Liners & Deep-Carry Clip - The liners are pocketed titanium and one of them carries the lock, putting the lockup on the same metal as the frame. Titanium runs through the thumb studs, the barrel spacers and the clip, which drops into a milled pocket in the scale.

The TRM Atom

The TRM Atom runs a full-size drop point ground flat on thin stock, TRM betting that a folder earns its keep by cutting well rather than by outlasting abuse it will never meet. Owners took to calling it a folding scalpel, and the phrase stuck hard enough that the maker now uses it too. TRM is the knife label of Halpern Titanium, which spent twenty-five years machining precision parts for other brands before putting its own name on a blade, and every Atom is cut and assembled on that same Massachusetts floor.
