I almost like the TRM neutron better lol. I have about 5 of each model of their knives. Love them. Still like Spyderco Manix 2 and Shaman best for my everyday go to.
I bought mine from Genetically Modified Viking, new in box It ha a blade centering issue that I couldn't fix so I sent it back to TRM to fix it...and they did it for FREE !. Very good people over there. I think they even polished the ti Lizard skin scales a bit. What a great knife !
Neutron is pretty much holly grail of knife to me but I live in EU and shipping+important tax makes it pretty much unobtainium to me! I love all thin blade stock knifes in general! Can't stand sharpened prybar you can't split apple in half without breaking it!
Nothing much special about these aside from the Titanium milling and blade geometry, factory sharpening. Good heat treatment which they outsource to another (US) company. Basic construction is pretty unextraordinary though, and they've had to add warnings not to use too much oil because they're prone to issues that most knife builds never have. It's probably good that they've changed their thumb studs. Their previous studs were on the sharp side.
@@TannerP97at least one I've seen is the blade binding up with the stop pin in the closed position, making the knife hard to open. You wouldn't believe it without seeing it, but it somehow does this. This should never be an issue if you design and build things right, but anyway they blame over-oiling rather than flawed design as the issue.
@@TannerP97 All they should need to do is adjust how they cut their choil where the blade contacts the stop pin, or possibly improve pivot stability, and it shouldn't get that problem. Just as every other maker's knives don't experience things like that. They're relatively new to manufacturing knives, and it would be nice of them to admit design flaws and assure their customers that they can improve rather than to just say "It's within spec, looks like you over oiled it."
TRM...Being that you have to be a Facebook user/collector with a lighting fast Internet connection, with nothing better to do than sit ready to pounce whenever they decide to drop means...I will probably never get one, at least as long as they play that game...
I have the same knife, right now not too happy. bought new, terrible lock stick ! Hope it clears up, TRM will not respond to email. As of now, over hyped, over priced, hope that changes, I will give it a fair shot ! This seems to be a recurring theme with most of my American made knives, what a shame.

The scales will come off without unscrewing the pivot 2 makes for super easy scale swap.
This looks soooo good
The atom is a great knife i have 2 and a bunch of scales to switch out .still meed some ti scales
God I want that knife,but so expensive, and sold out in a nano second.
The scales look sweet

What are the issues that they've seen from too much oil?

Washers are better than bearings in my opinion.

That’s unfortunate. I’ve had several of them come up for sale on my website so stay tuned. 👍

Mine got better as I used it.
