Why We Think the Bulldog Rev. B Took the Top Spot
We weren’t surprised to see the Bulldog Rev. B lead the pack. This knife represents everything TRM stands for: quality, craftsmanship, community and that oh-so-satisfying “ching”.
Here are a few reasons we think it earned the crown:
1. It’s compact but confident.
Small enough for everyday carry, tough enough to tackle anything. The Bulldog doesn’t just ride in your pocket, it earns its place there.
2. The details hit differently.
Smoother action, an awesome sound and a design shaped directly by feedback from the TRM community. Every line, curve, and texture tells a story of iteration and shared passion.
3. It’s named after family.
Inspired by Roxy and Riley, Marianne and Les’ French Bulldogs, this knife carries their loyal energy. Maybe that’s why so many TiCOONs connected with it.
4. It’s proof that we’re building this together.
The Bulldog Rev. B wasn’t just made for our EDC community, it was made with our community. Your insights, your feedback, your love for American-made knives, that’s what keeps this brand evolving.
From Our Pack to Yours
Every vote, every comment, every comment on our social channels, reminds us at Three Rivers Manufacturing that TRM isn’t just a Massachusetts knife company, we’re a part of a community of EDC collectors who believe in doing things the right way.
We can’t wait to see what you’ll choose next year, what new TRM Knives will spark your interest, and which will become your next TRM favorites.
Until then, stay sharp and keep carrying American.
