Mille Cuori | TRC knives

The fit and finish is incredible. Knife feels great in hand. This thing will last a lifetime.

Perfectly made, perfectly designed. Heavy real military knife. A little expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Not only is the knife so awesome Russian knives has to be one of the best companies to do business with. I will be back thanks.

This is my 4th TRC knife and probably my favorite although I do love the Apocalypse. Box and presentation are perfect and knife was in immaculate condition. The kydex sheath fits perfectly. The blade came super sharp out of the box. The real star of the show here is the Vanadis 4e which has excellent strength at the edge even at very thin geometries and excellent toughness. Their is a reason why this steel is used in competitive blade sports. The DLC coating is the absolute best I’ve seen and do not mistake this for Cerakote, this dlc is highly durable and TRC has a video specifically dedicated to the durability of this specific coating. There are no hot spots on the knife and excellent texturing of the handle which is grippy but not overly aggressive. The butt of the knife acts as an integral hammer which is quite functional. The knife is handle heavy due to the hammer which I personally like. If you have any question as to the durability of this knife TRC knives YouTube channel has videos attesting to the durability such as prying tests on 2x4’s and hammering into tree stumps and prying their way out. So if you are on the fence on this knife I highly recommend watching some of their videos specifically dedicated to this knife’s toughness, durability, and the impressiveness of the dlc coating holding up to wear. I love this knife so much I bought 2.

Worthy of the TRC collection, may not get as much use however as I am not in the millitary. Fit and finish was good, there were scratches on the pommell. The kydex sheath was well designed to be ambi and molle compatible, but akward getting it in and out due to being too tight even with the retention screw loose, took slivers of kydex each time was taken in and out, improved when I changed out with a larger squash washer. Balance is behind the first finger making it less fast in the hand and less power for light chopping in a one tool option, but would make the pommel more useful for a strike. Micarta is very grippy and is comfortable in the hand. Only function test so far was some attempted feathersticking but gave up after a few minutes, ironically my apocalypse is better at this task. All in all another good blade from TRC that is designed to include combat related tasks that may take away from others in the field/bush but would be well suited if thats what youre looking for.
