A sturdy tool that is well suited to bushcraft, camping, hunting and much more. It&#8217;s similarity to the Mille Cuori or M-1SLG, is because it is a development of that knife.<\/p>\n<p>The spine has edges sharp enough to strike sparks from a ferro rod, but not sharp enough to cut you. Like all knives in the \u201cM\u201d line, the handle has deep jimping \/ grooves on the handle for excellent grip and handling. Made from premium B\u00d6HLER M390 MICROCLEAN steel, the blade is highly corrosion resistant and really holds its edge.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/TRC-M-1SL-42-knife-on-mat-P1008079.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"555\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/TRC-M-1SL-42-knife-on-mat-P1008079.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/TRC-M-1SL-42-knife-on-mat-P1008079-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/TRC-M-1SL-42-knife-on-mat-P1008079-768x533.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/TRC-M-1SL-42-knife-on-mat-P1008079-600x416.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b><i>(Review Videos now at the end of the review.)<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>What&#8217;s in the box?:<\/b><br \/>\nSetting the theme of &#8216;attention to detail&#8217; from the first moment, TRC start as they mean to go on with the M-1SL&#8217;s presentation box.

TRC Knives have delivered this, with every edge, corner, joint, bend, and fixing being smooth and refined. I have not found a single part of the sheath that could benefit from a tweak or shave; TRC have done all of this without missing anything.<br \/>\nIf I had to be picky, I feel the drainage hole may not be as free flowing as if it ran downwards instead of sideways. However, where it is positioned is very neat and keeps the lower edge of the sheath streamlined.<br \/>\nThe hollow rivets used to hold the two sheath halves together are completely smooth on both sides, so there is no wear to cord threaded through them. It comes with an elastic cord in place that is ideal if you want to secure the end of the sheath to your leg, as the elastic allows you to move freely.<br \/>\nDesigned into the sheath is a fully adjustable knife retention, on both sides, not just one. This tension was set just right out of the box, but will wear in over time, and if ever needed, you can tighten it. If you prefer less of a grip on the knife you can also back it off to suit.<br \/>\nTo swap to left-handed, you need only remove two bolts and pop the belt loop hanger on the other side of the sheath.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-13548 .fg-image { width: 150px; }\n#foogallery-gallery-13548 { --fg-gutter: 10px; }<\/style>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"foogallery

knife &#8211; Things to look out for here are:<\/b><br \/>\nYes you might well recognise that distinctive blade shape from the TRC Mille Cuori, and in the M-1SL it is brought to you in a lighter-weight version. A drop point blade with bevelled swedge, plus thumb rest on the spine just forward of the handle, all combine to give this blade its identity.<br \/>\nAgain the attention to detail doesn&#8217;t stop, the finishes are crisp without being sharp. The corners of the swedge bevels are just a little sharper than the corners of the thumb rest. Those slightly sharper corners on the swedge will scrape a fire steel very well yet are completely safe for your hands or gloves.<br \/>\nWith the edge finishing in a sharpening choil next to the finger guard, not only does this complete the cutting edge, but provides you with the &#8216;fine work point&#8217; (that I use this end of the cutting edge for).<br \/>\nThe very front of the handles are angled to guide the knife into the sheath, this also gives good access to the cutting edge for all types of cutting task.<br \/>\nThere is plenty of grip from the G-10 handle scales, that also combines with the jimping at the front and back of the handle to ensure a firm hold on the knife. Flared hollow rivets secure the handle scales and provide lanyard\/lashing points.<br \/>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-13564 .fg-image { width: 150px; }\n#foogallery-gallery-13564

factory edges, but to recap:<\/p>\n<p>Anyone using a knife will need to sharpen it. That first factory edge is just like the first tank of fuel that a new car comes with (or first charge of the battery).<br \/>\nA good factory edge is a &#8216;nice to have&#8217; but not a &#8216;make or break&#8217; for a good knife, as you will be putting your own edge onto it soon enough.<br \/>\nThe factory edge does however indicate the care a knife maker has put into the final finish.<br \/>\nIt is for this reason Tactical Reviews measures factory edge sharpness and specifications, and includes this information in the detailed technical testing.<\/p>\n<p>As a further look at the factory edge, this section has been added to include some high magnification photos of the factory edges.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-13580 .fg-image { width: 150px;

and &#8216;attention to detail&#8217;, or words to those effect, a few times in this review; this seems to be a feature TRC Knives are widely recognised for, and is clearly evident in the case of this M-1SL.<br \/>\nThis doesn&#8217;t happen by accident, and is only as a result of hard work and caring about your products. When meeting Andrius Tricius (founder and head designer at TRC Knives) to talk about the M-1SL, his passion for the design and quality of finish came across immediately. He was listening closely to any and all comments I made about the knife, genuinely interested in understanding how his designs work for all users; clearly someone passionate about making the best possible knives.<br \/>\nFitting into a general utility knife size category, the M-1SL is a super practical knife that is big enough for most tasks and small and light enough to be easy to carry &#8211; a no-brainer when it comes to picking out a daily use fixed blade.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-13586 .fg-image { width: 150px; }\n#foogallery-gallery-13586 {

With the typical two piece Kydex construction you end up with a slab of sheath which increases the overall carry size. The knife is a great EDC utility size (and super strong), but the bulk of this type of sheath does make me think twice on occasion. Could you still have such a functional sheath with retention tension adjustment and tying points with less bulk?<br \/>\nPerhaps a small detail, but worthy of further mention, the dedicated thumb rest on the spine; this allows you to comfortably put your thumb directly behind the cutting edge and apply maximum cutting force directly towards the cut. The power and control this cutting method provides is important, and though you can do this with all sorts of knives, the M-1SL has the thumb rest designed into the spine of the blade. Having this feature increases comfort and control exactly because there is a specifically shaped section on the spine.<br \/>\nFrequently, when living with a knife, I find something that is a bit &#8216;off&#8217;, a sharp corner, or something I want to tweak; so far with the M-1SL I&#8217;ve not found anything I want to tweak &#8211; I&#8217;d say this speaks volumes.<br \/>\nIt also is certainly a difficult knife to put down, being pleasing to hold as well as use.<\/p>\n<p><b>Review Summary<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i>The views expressed in this summary table are from the point of view of the reviewer\u2019s personal use.
