Built with precision engineering and a clear focus on real-world performance, the Three Rivers Manufacturing TRM Neutron 2 Linerlock Folder with pinstripe titanium 3D contoured handle represents a refined compact cutting tool that doesn’t waste space, weight, or motion. It takes everything users appreciate about the Neutron platform and tightens it into a lighter, smoother, more dialed-in carry system.
At the center of the design is a 3" CPM MagnaCut blade, chosen for its high-end balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. With a .090" thickness and full flat grind, it delivers controlled slicing performance with minimal resistance, making it ideal for detailed tasks as well as everyday utility cutting. The blade finish, featuring deburring with a 2-stage ceramic tumble and polish process, adds a refined, broken-in look while improving smooth handling and reducing glare.
The action is supported by phosphor bronze washers, giving the blade a smooth, consistent deployment that feels controlled rather than overly assisted. This traditional bearing surface choice reinforces reliability, keeping the action stable over time with minimal maintenance required.
The handle is machined from full 6AL/4V titanium and shaped into a fully 3D contoured profile for a secure, ergonomic grip. The pinstripe detailing adds a subtle visual break in the titanium surface, giving the knife a clean but distinctive identity without compromising durability. Internally, pocketed titanium liners help reduce weight while maintaining structural strength where it matters most. At just .360" thick and 3.05 oz., the Neutron 2 carries light in the pocket while still feeling solid in hand.
A dependable linerlock mechanism ensures secure blade lockup with smooth disengagement, reflecting TRM’s commitment to tight tolerances and consistent performance. Carry versatility is enhanced with a deep carry titanium clip, with an optional classic bent clip available for users who prefer a different profile. The right-hand tip-up configuration keeps deployment natural and accessible.
With an open length of 7-1/16" and a closed length of 4", the Neutron 2 is compact without feeling undersized. Every element is tuned for efficiency, from the geometry of the blade to the balance of the handle, making it a true everyday carry workhorse.
Proudly made in the USA, this knife reflects the attention to detail and manufacturing precision that defines TRM’s lineup, delivering a compact tool that performs well above its size class, available at SMKW.
