The Mystery of the TRM Drop
If you’ve tried to buy a TRM knife, you probably know the frustration. You click “add to cart,” and within minutes, the knife is gone. Why is this brand so hard to get? Let’s unpack the reasons behind the hype and scarcity.
Q: Does TRM limit production on purpose?
Yes, but not as a marketing gimmick. TRM produces knives in small, carefully controlled batches to ensure quality. Each piece is inspected, tuned, and finished to meet high standards. Scaling up would risk losing the precision TRM is known for.

Q: What do collectors say about TRM drops?

“I had to wait 3 months to finally snag one, but it was worth it.” – YouTube comment
Neeves Knives highlighted how quickly the Neutron 2 disappears on drop days, calling it “one of the hardest knives to score but one of the best to own.” Watch review
Q: Will TRM increase production?
TRM has grown production cautiously, but the priority is always quality over quantity. The primary focus is maintaining the craftsmanship and tolerances that define the brand.
Q: Does scarcity affect resale value?
Yes. Because TRM Knives are hard to get, they often resell at or above retail on secondary markets. This scarcity fuels demand among collectors and reinforces the hype around drop days.
