Overview
APOC - Atrim Survival Tanto
Complete the trifecta of this Gus Trim collection
The APOC Tanto at a glance looks atypical except for the classic Japanese styled blade. But fans of Gus Trim will recognize his subtle style and perfection in a design that’s historically atypical for this famed sword maker. The full tang G10 handle glides gently in the hand as the handle slabs, rivets and blade profile are effortlessly flush all around preventing blisters or lesions which eliminates a big problem when combating in an infectious environment. The hooked guard prevents your fingers from sliding onto the blade edge. The blade edge and contour features another Atrim profiling feature allowing precise cuts and slices from its well tempered and black-finished 9260 high carbons steel blade. At 16” overall and 15 oz the APOC Tanto is great third option no matter what direction you choose to point the blade.
The black textured fiberglass sheaths are fitted to a Molle compatible kydex platform that allows you to secure your swords to belt or pack in multiple carry positions. For belt or sling carry setups the platform has four slots 1 3/8" long and 1/8" wide. A hole in the end of the scabbard allows drainage in wet environs. A notch in the handle and the platform allows for stealth unsheathing as well as locking the sword securely for inverted maneuvers. No preparations for the end times are complete without an A.P.O.C. tactical sword for when the bullets run out, the knives are too short and your life is on the line.

My new favorite knife. It’s perfectly balanced, sleek and has a good weight to it. Appears to be shaped by a CNC.
VERY WICKED.
