   The TRC South Pole DLC V4E is built for serious field use — combining Vanadis 4 Extra tool steel, a durable DLC shadow finish, and a rugged G10 handle in a purpose-driven tactical platform.
Low-visibility. High-performance. No compromise.

   The South Pole is one of TRC’s most mission-focused fixed blades, designed for reliability in demanding environments.
This DLC-coated version enhances both durability and tactical aesthetics.

   The blade is crafted from Vanadis 4 Extra, a premium high-alloy tool steel known for outstanding wear resistance and edge stability under hard use.
   The DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating provides exceptional abrasion resistance and creates a deep, shadowed finish that reduces glare and visual signature—ideal for tactical, military, and outdoor applications.

   The ergonomic G10 handle scales provide a secure grip in wet, cold, or gloved conditions. Lightweight yet strong, the knife balances at just 200 grams, delivering confident handling without unnecessary bulk.

The package is completed with a precision-fit Kydex sheath that provides secure retention and versatile carry options.

  Designed, manufactured, and finished in Lithuania, TRC’s reputation for clean grinds and flawless heat treatment is fully present in this South Pole DLC.
