I had a Ti lizard skin Shadow that I sold because I did carry it and my personal rule is catch and release for anything that I do not carry. I sold it to someone who was looking for one. But I understand my precious… 💍
I just got a neutron 2 with the lizard skin milling. It's my first TRM and I love it. The quality is insane. I would love to find an atom like yours on the secondary with the hollow grind. That knife is sick. It makes me want to get a hollow regrind for my neutron. Great video. 👍💪🔥🔥🔥🤘
Love this channel, my favourite knife channel ive found in my 6 month knife journey - not afraid to admit im a newbie. Am just about to buy my first TRM - still trying to decide between Atom and Neutron. Will be the most expensive knife ive bought so far, im on a fixed income.
A big congrats on looking at TRM. I understand so the question is what size knives do you prefer more? Both are excellent. You really cannot go wrong with either. The good news is that TRM has swappable scales, so you can go as inexpensive as you want and eventually upgrade parts of the knife if you want to.
Are you talking about TRM? I have yet to own a TRM with any sharpness issues. My 3 Atoms, my 2 Neutrons, my 2 holey Knerds, and my Shadow were all amazing.
@@Robs_Nerdy_Knives Yeah. The titanium scales are not chamfered all the way around. The butt end of the scale is simply cut and edge slightly knocked down. Not truly sharp, but it's a pretty harsh edge compared to the rest of the scale. It digs into my hand as a hotspot when closing the knife. To me it is a major oversight on an otherwise very nicely machined piece. I can see in your video, yours is the same way. Only the long edges of the scales are contoured. The back and front are not. The front being a non issue.
I have both the contoured Red Fat Carbon (not used) and the lizard skin Ti scales (currently installed). I’d personally get a contoured set of scales and like carbon fiber due to the weight relief.
The main problem for me is that the quality is so bad nowadays. The quality is much better and the prices are much lower in kislux small boutiques. There is just no marketing. When I was a little girl the luxury goods were much better than the cheaper brands.
I do not understand. Both are set y Up for deep pocket carry where the top of the knife is lever with the clip. An inch above the scale would be pretty ridiculous.
I wish more knives had such thin blade stock!
There are some but TRM executes them so well.
TRM's stonewash is second to none.
I Absolutely love TRM ❤️
I own both with the lizard TI scales.
The Atom takes the cake 🎂 imo
Reminds me of the Kershaw leek. Just more bling. Thanks Rob.
I have the TRM shadow and it’s a gem. Fit and finish is flawless. It’s my precious..

Local shop (Fradon) currently has in stock the Atom, Neuton 2, and the Holy Nerd. all in lizard skin Ti with a special blue anno scales done by REC 🔥
Wow!!! That is cool!

Thank you. It is really slicy with the hollow, so I hope you find one.
So nice to see TRM getting some love. The Atom and N2 dominate my pocket time. Don't know why I keep buying other knives!
They are very good knives and I can understand that.

@@Robs_Nerdy_Knives pulled the trigger and got the atom, cant wait for it to arrive now
Thanks this video has made my mind up, Atom all the way
Definitely the Atom 💯
I own both with the lizard TI scales.
But the atom takes the cake imo 🎂
Yeah, I had and continue to use my Atom. I did upgrade my 20CV atom to a Mike Irie custom hollow ground Magnacut blade.
Very nice looking knife!
I agree, it's a beauty! 😍
Great pair of Knafs
Appreciate that!! Both are amazing.
TRM is awesome!
Yes, sir!!
Want the Nerd. Cheers
A great size and knife. You cannot go wrong with a nerd.
No TRM in the collection, y'all got me eyeing some tho!
They are so good!!
The problem I have with the titanium scales is the butt end has no contour or chamfering. It's a relatively sharp end to an otherwise beautiful scale.

What replacement scales would you recommend for an Atom? Currently have Carbon Fibre scales.

What are you talking about? What does that have to do with Three Rivers Manufacturing?
What are you talking about? You sound like a bot.
Why do they send that knife out with the pocket clip positioned an inch above the scale?
I do not understand. Both are set y
Up for deep pocket carry where the top of the knife is lever with the clip. An inch above the scale would be pretty ridiculous.
