Combining Vanadis 4 Extra (V4E) steel, a durable DLC blade coating, a textured Black G-10 handle and a Kydex sheath, this knife is built for reliability, control and long-term outdoor use.

The South Pole DLC is part of the TRC Knives Outdoor Collection, created for people who demand high-quality tools for bushcraft, camping, hunting, survival and outdoor adventures.

Vanadis 4 Extra (V4E) Steel

The TRC South Pole DLC features a blade made from Vanadis 4 Extra (V4E), a high-performance powder metallurgy tool steel known for its excellent wear resistance, toughness and ability to maintain a sharp cutting edge.

The blade is hardened to 60–61 HRC, providing a strong balance between edge retention and durability for demanding outdoor applications.

With a 115 mm blade and 4.2 mm blade thickness, the South Pole DLC offers a practical combination of cutting performance, strength and control.

DLC Blade Coating

One of the defining features of the South Pole DLC is its DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating.

DLC is known for its high wear resistance and provides the blade with a distinctive non-reflective black finish. The coating gives the knife a rugged and tactical appearance while helping protect the blade surface during intensive use.

Combined with the black G-10 handle, the DLC finish gives the South Pole a clean, understated and highly functional appearance.

Designed for Bushcraft & Outdoor Use

The South Pole was designed as a versatile fixed-blade knife for use in the wilderness.

Its practical blade geometry makes it suitable for a wide range of outdoor tasks, including:

• Bushcraft
• Camping
• Hunting
• Hiking and expeditions
• Outdoor cooking and food preparation
• Wilderness activities
• General camp tasks
• Survival applications

The robust fixed-blade construction provides stability and reliability when working in demanding outdoor environments.

Black G-10 Handle

The Black G-10 handle is textured to provide a secure and comfortable grip during use.

G-10 is a lightweight and durable composite material widely used in high-performance knives because of its resistance to moisture and demanding outdoor conditions.

The ergonomic handle design provides good control during both precision cutting and more demanding tasks.

Kydex Sheath

The TRC South Pole DLC comes with a Kydex sheath designed for secure and convenient carry.

Kydex is a durable, lightweight and moisture-resistant material that is particularly well suited to outdoor knife sheaths.
