I love this video. Anything that's domestically well-built and understated is going to get hate. This knife is basically the epitome of "stealth wealth" style. The Lack of Billboarding, simple styling, and unwillingness to cave to popular consumer fads simply for sake of staying "on-trend".. 😢

Thanks Ryan!! Appreciate the support brotha

Lol. That knife is cheaper than the benchmade narrows. Also I hope those guys are doing karate in the garage. It would warm my heart.

Let me start by saying I have had a Neutron for over two years. I paid about $200 with flat micarta scales and then got some contoured G10 scales for $60. So technically it is a $200-$250 knife and you are paying $200 more for titanium scales. Which is fine if you want to, some KZreadrs just paid almost $500 for some Para3 scales. Truthfully, I would if I could those TRM scales are very nice. Something comparable that's under $200 would be the Doug Ritter RSK, except it being a crossbar lock. Pocket clips never sway me on if I'm buying a knife, plus those mushrooms help secure the clip to the pocket so it doesn't fall out. Most comments are just balderdash, so enjoy your knife.

As more of a budget knife enjoyer, I had no idea what this knife was but I watched the video anyway. I'd like to think that a lot of the hate comments might have been AI generated, but some of them have levels of dumb only seen on the human scale.

Mushroom guy sounds like one of those not so smart people that tell a bad joke and nobody laughs so they repeat it 10 more times thinking they just didn't hear it.

curve of diminishing returns is a real thing.

I love my TRMs. The only thing I don't love about the neutron is the size; I like the atom better. TRM knives are freaking lasers. Keep up the content and I think you should roast the trolls more often. 😂😂😂 Thanks Roll!!

by all accounts the TRM Atom/Neutron is a great practical knife. I have owned and sold a couple, but we don't have to all own all the models. I personally like Miguron Mayoral to carry because its a very well made knife and if I lose it no big deal. Probably less likely to carry and use it when the knife in my pocket is $450.

TRM makes a great knife. It's even better with a proper regrind, while the stock is thin if you inspect the plunge there's barely any material removed. If the behind the edge thickness was a reflection of the blade stock it would be one of the greatest cutters made. That said it's still really good.

One of the comments was indeed balderdash.😂 Seriously though I don’t get the disagreement with price. It’s priced competitively for the market and sold out the same day, to me that says they could have charged a bit more. I would have normally preferred a different steel but it sounds like they were very considerate of the choices they made, you said about the special edge geometry they chose so I’m assuming they also chose 20CV intentionally. For the rest of the knife I prefer function over form so I love the liner lock and pocket clip, I’m not a fan of the common issues with frame locks. That doesn’t mean they didn’t consider aesthetics, I think this is one of the most beautiful but functional looking knives I’ve ever seen. The handle milling and contouring is awesome and that thumb stud is like the chefs kiss, just perfection. I wouldn’t pull out $500 for a pocket knife easily and 20CV hasn’t necessarily been one of my favorite steels but yeah I get it, I would actually buy this knife just how it is.

@Rollshambo

26 күн бұрын

The irony is that most steels are going to perform well with the geometry of this blade, the exception being extremely brittle steels because they'd have a difficult time maintaining edge integrity at the low angle(maxamet/rex121) but 20cv/magnacut (the two options you can get these in) are going to perform extremely well with this knife

@lumntoob999

26 күн бұрын

@@Rollshambo thanks I appreciate the info. 20CV and magnacut are pretty close in edge retention anyway but I think 20CV is a bit more stainless and magnacut is a bit tougher, at least from my understanding. From what I’ve seen a lot of premium steels are close enough in edge retention you won’t notice a huge difference in use, as long as the heat treat is good. I’m not fully sold on super hard steels like maxamet either, for me I really like S90V, it’s doesn’t have to be heat treated super hard and still has one of the best edge retentions and I’m also really liking cruwear too but that’s still fairly limited in use. Like I said though, I wouldn’t rule out a great knife because it’s premium steel isn’t one of my top 2 or 3, it’s still going to be excellent.

Love my Atom,want a Nuetron 2.

I own it and love it. All except for one thing. The bottom/back of the titanium scales above the clip are too sharp. When I go in my pocket to grab something it scrapes against the back of my hand. It’s uncomfortable. That aside the build quality is incredible and the thin blade stock is amazing

@Rollshambo

I haven't noticed that issue on mine, maybe it's a difference in hand size/shape who knows!

I think a lot of us are to the point where we don’t mind paying $400+ for a knife but we are less tolerant with smaller details that we feel strongly about. Sharpening choils, jimping, and recessed/well-functioning clips are great examples. It’s important to remember we all have different preferences and value subjectivity.

will have to do that on the official follow up video for this piece.. there will be one.. this was just me venting at comments I disagreed with haha

People will understand once they get a Neutron or Atom in their hands and use them, even the non titanium scaled ones. Any titanium version TRM drops get sold out quick. The price is completely fair in my opinion, and in certain designs or smaller knives, I much prefer a liner lock. They are super easy to work on and in the worst case scenario of a lock failure, it's much easier for both the customer and manufacturer to swap a liner than swapping a whole Titanium lock side piece (and will more than likely take a lot longer to receive a replacement).

Fun fact, if you take the pocket clip off, there is 3 holes that perfectly match a benchmade style clip.

@Rollshambo

26 күн бұрын

Thanks for the info! I learned something new! The clip doesn't bother me, it works really well, what I had in mind was something reminiscent of a Craig brown knife where there is a flat landing below the milled clip but the milling pattern transfers to the top of the clip instead so you lose none of the beautiful pattern but also get an smooth in and out of the pocket..I have my wish list but I'm pretty happy with the stock clip

@Sal_car88

@@Rollshambo the pocket clip does work really well! I had replaced it and ended up going back to the original clip on mine.

Liner lock knives have a “cleaner” appearance, and are probably a cheaper option when manufacturing them.

Not my cup of tea, and definitely overpriced for me and what I’m looking at, in knives. Though I agree with all you’ve said.

Holy Balderdash , I think that is an awesome knife that is American made so of course it is going to have a higher price but well worth it also great manufacturing quality and materials and as far as the liner lock compared to a frame lock I and many others would much rather have a liner lock for a variety of reasons such as you are not going to wear out the lock sooner by putting extra pressure on the lockbar by squeezing every time you use it and don't have to worry about death lock from having fingers on the lockbar while trying to open it and mainly because it looks so much better.

I try to never be negative in comments, in fact I've only recently started commenting on KZread videos because I'm old now and don't G.A.S. You're surely better off not doing it... but it's got to be tempting... Always realize that ignorant or stupid people have to live with that THEIR WHOLE LIVES.

Sweet knife. I don't really like the clip sticks out a little too much for my taste but it works really well...love mine:)

I think the Neutron 2 is a fantastic knife, and it is on my short list of knives to get. That being said, I generally don't have a problem with others who don't like it, or with divergent opinions in general, as long as they aren't douche bags about it. Frankly, with the buildup to this video, I was expecting much worse, like, "I hate this knife, and you're scum for liking it. I curse you and your whole family!" To d-bags like this, I would give them a hearty Summer's Eve salute.🙂 BTW I do disagree with you about something you said about frame locks. I used to believe that they had greater load-bearing capabilities than liner locks as well, but after seeing extensive heavy-duty testing of all the major classes of locks, with multiple samples of various models from a number of manufacturers in each class, it showed that as a general rule, frame locks were actually weaker than liners. They tended to deform more under less weight, and had more catastrophic failures.
