The TRC Apocalypse Convex is the reinforced evolution of TRC’s flagship survival platform. Featuring a convex ground ELMAX blade with a massive 6.5 mm spine, this full-tang fixed blade is engineered for maximum durability, chopping strength, and extreme field reliability.
What Makes the Convex Version Different
The defining feature of this model is its convex grind geometry.
Unlike a flat or hollow grind, a convex edge:
- Increases edge durability
- Reduces the risk of micro-chipping
- Improves impact resistance
- Performs exceptionally well in batoning and heavy wood processing
The convex profile distributes force more evenly along the edge, making it ideal for demanding survival applications.
This is the Apocalypse optimized for the harshest tasks.
Crafted from Böhler ELMAX, a high-performance stainless tool steel known for:
- Excellent wear resistance
- Strong edge retention
- High corrosion resistance
- Balanced toughness
Combined with the convex grind, ELMAX becomes even more resilient under heavy use.
The Apocalypse Convex includes a TRC-made Kydex sheath featuring:
- Secure retention
- Reliable carry
- Integrated 8 mm fire-starter holder (fire starter not included)
The TRC Apocalypse Convex is built for extreme survival scenarios where strength and edge resilience are paramount.
Thick steel. Convex power. No compromise.
