    Great review! I have the exact same knife . Also have a neutron. As i have become a great fan of trm products. When you handle one , you think wow this the real deal . The atom is a perfect edc for the one knife person . It reminds me of a Chris reeve . Design a knife ,then finish it to perfection. And sharpen it right Quality sums it up in one word . On the steel , 20cv is becoming a favorite. And Trm isnt afraid of making it thin , these are made to cut and that is a knifes main function. Being super thin,they carry like a dream. And you can change scales with ease . On that ,they sell a bit driver with the bits and it is a buy Finally they are geting production up. And doing it without Qc issues . Just be ready when they come up on their site . A two knife limit, i believe.

    Hey Gary, thanks for watching! I couldn’t agree more! I was able to snag an Atom about a week after I posted this video when they had a drop. I guess it would have been about 3 weeks ago that I received it. I went with the red/black cf/composite scales and bought a few extra sets as well in micarta & G10.

    Got one of the newer drops as well and, that beautiful extra extra fine stone wash is no more, it’s more of a regular stone wash now🥺, okay but loved love that original milky stone wash!! But that pocket clip problem you touched on is gone, a little stiffer clip with more of a ramp, so one pro and one con. Stiffer detent and a little stronger lock up. That’s a personal preference so whichever I’m okay with😀

    @@GearedTowardGear1 I got my Neutron last Friday, the 17th, and I can't seem to put it down. It's in my hand as I type this, and the more I fondle it the more I like it. Now, for a 6 ft. tall 185 lb. guy, I have relatively small hands. No way I can palm a basketball. For my hands, the Neutron is pretty much perfect. If you have large to x-Iarge hands then the Atom would probably be more to your liking (says the guy who's never held one). Having said that, despite my relatively small hands and the fact that the Neutron feels like it was made for me, I'd like to have an Atom if and when finances allow. Simply put, I don't think you could go wrong with either. Just my .02¢ worth.

    I have this knife with the same scales. I love it. As a newbie in the edc/knife collecting community, it is hard to make the leap into buying knives over $100. But, for all those other newbies out there: the hype is sooo real with this knife. It's totally worth it.

    Yes, we switched to a waiting list on Monday morning. The business hours were given to give the range of times fof the random release. We had quote a bit of negative responses to this release so the Atoms will be a waiting list. We have 150 but I expect the list to fill up quickly. The whole list will ship within 2 or 3 weeks. Many more are following right behind these. We are increasing our production but the demand is growing exponentially. Don't give up. Updates on all TRM will be on our website rather than relying on the bi-monthly newsletter.
