These reviews you have been posting are really helpful. Thank you for taking the time!
Thank you, Tedvaard! I try do my absolute best to make people be able to make the best decision they can, especially with knives that are semi-expensive!
I also recently got a south pole although the micarta scales on mine are more dark grey than the rusty brownish or natural colour yours looks. But I know this... this guy has a real talent. Not many knife makers have standards as high as these knives. Only my Chris Reeve knives equal them for fit and finish but I don't like the design of the Chris Reeve fixed blades. They are usually too big and I find the handles very uncomfortable with badly placed finger grooves (none would be better on the Pacific and GB). Trc however also make this perfectly sized knife and the design is classic and timeless and the finger groove also works on this knife. I like the handmade touch of Trc. Chris Reeve fixed blades feel sterile and machine made. So even Chris Reeve is a distant 2nd now IMO. if I was to go all in I'd say he is currently making the best knives in the world. You can tell he puts 100% into every knife. And that's exactly how it should be and a company can't manage that they should go into a different business or just make £50 knives. He is setting the bar as far as I'm concerned and my south pole certainly won't be my last Trc. The mille cuori is next on my wish list.
Have one on the way. Your video and a cup of coffee is the perfect waiting activity 😁
Fantastic review !!! Thanks for sharing and hello from Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you, Lloyd! I'm still trying to work out a good "review-format" of sorts for my videos; with a nice balance of doing/performing different kind of knife related tasks, some variety in settings, comparisons of different knife-models etc. Give me some time, and I'll be able to make some really good video reviews in the near future! Oh, and I bet you have all the snow in Canada, that I'd love to have in Sweden right now. ;)
Great review of a great knife.
I own one too and love it!
Great in depth review! I can't decide between this knife vs the Fallkniven S1xB and F1xB
Many thanks for your fantastic review!
Greetings from Germany. 🇩🇪
Thank you for watching!
TRC has become my favorite knife maker. Great video.
Your review helped me make the decision to get one. Super high quality knife, feels amazing in hand.
Congratulation to your new knife. I got the older model, K1 in M390 steel. It is one of my best and versatile knifes. I love it.
Thank you! Yes, this is indeed a very versatile knife, especially given its small size. It's a new favorite of mine, for sure. I do think I mention the K1 somewhere in my video, stating that it was indeed the predecessor to the South Pole. I know I'm a bit late to the party, but it is what it is. My journey with the South Pole starts now, and I'm fine with that. :)
Beautiful knives. Great review. Thanks
Solid review! No no need to explain how many closeups of the knife there are in this vid; it's a beauty! I saw this knife a few months ago online and I'm still debating on getting it. I found it with G10 handle scales, and also a denim micarta that looks slightly blue in color. Just a sweet knife with my favorite blade finish, and I love that it has such a high grind on it!
Wonderful review sir! I just got the south pole and the only thing I would like to see is an option to purchase thicker handle scales and a tool to remove and add said scales. Again, amazing job and I'm loving my knife! I often just randomly fondle it and really appreciate the fit, finish and quality of it 😅👌😎🍻
Great video 👍 Thanks!
Great video, many thanks! :)
Thank you!
I liked the video. Was long and you covered a lot.
Love these knives, I have black g10 versions
I think the apocalypse paired with a folding saw is great and the south pole is light enough to pair with a short axe like a GB Small forest axe
Greetings from the US. ... We've previously exchanged thoughts about the TRC This Is Freedom knife. ... Based on your excellent, comprehensive testing and review, I decided to add a South Pole to my battery of blades, should one become available. Yesterday, several TRC knives popped up for sale online and I ordered a South Pole. It should ship later today and be in my possession a couple days from now. Of course acquiring a TRC knife is a life-altering event. LOL. I'm pretty excited to add a very versatile, low maintenance gem to my stable. Undoubtedly, it will supplant many lesser blades, once treasured, but now surpassed. Of course my desire for ever more superior cutlery is in the interest of science too, as is yours! ... Thanks again for this compelling video. I always look forward to your amazing videos. Take good care my friend.
Hey Martin! Thank you very much for your kind words! I'm very happy to hear you managed to score a South Pole. It's a fantastic knife, and it has quickly become my number one "kayaking-knife". And I'll have to agree with you on acquiring a TRC-knife being a life-altering event ... at least the first one you get. ;) The desire for ever more superior cutlery is both a blessing and a curse, and with some of my knives, especially some of my TRC-knives, I feel unsure just as to how they could be improved. One thing is certain, though, the quest for the perfect knife/knives will never end, regardless of how great a tool you get your hands on ... Once again, thank you for dropping by here!
Excellent , Thanks for sharing , seem good working with Elmax , I’m thinking to get one.
Thank you for watching! Elmax is a really great steel, and as you can see in both this and my Apocalypse-video, TRC's heat treatment is amazing!
I convexed my secondary bevel on all V edged knives. Including the TRC South Pole. Now its a more longer lasting edge.
First: your videos are great 👍 TRC is producing great knives, top fit and finish. I own the Apocalypse (Lamnia Edition), the South Pole and the South Pole Apocalypse and the Mille Cuori, I think my next TRC will be a Classic Freedom 😅
Beautiful!!👍👍👍
my SOUTH POLE arrived yesterday morning, a small, but great and wonderfull knive, but the version with grey-blach BMC handle
Happy you like it! I've been carrying mine a lot lately. My go-to knife when I go kayaking.
Thanks for the review. Got 10 knives from TRC now. Don't have a K1/Southpole yet though. Went with the K1s instead since I wanted orange handle/smaller hunting knife.
Thank you for watching! Which knives do you own, or do you pretty much own all other TRC-knives aside from the K1 and South Pole? ;) Would be very interesting to hear a few words about your favorite ones!
@@PinkG10 A quick mobile photo from from one of my weapon safes where I store some of my more "collectible knives". When I come to think of it I have 11 knives from TRC total.

TRC is one of my favourite brand no doubt, but I rarely use my premium knives to their fullest. I have Terävä knives (all of them) and Moras for really hard use. Mostly collect Spyderco folders these days.
That's a lot of high quality blades! I'm curious about a few other TRC-models, like the Classic Freedom (or This Is Fredoom) and maybe the Mille Cuori. But I'm also seeing TRC-models in that photo, which I've never seen before, which looks like very interesting models! Thank you for sharing these with me! Oh, and I have no experience with Terävä-knives, but I do have a ton of experience with Mora-knives, which I do enjoy using since they, you know, they just work! :)
@@PinkG10 i own the apocalypse, the k1, the speed demon, the mini necker, tr-12s and the mille couri ... the ones you should really check out aswel are the speed demon but specially the mille couri...! trc is amazing!
I'm in love with the shape and size of the knife except for the tail end of it - I wish it was a bit more angular like the apocalypse
The only thing dislike about trc is the micarta handles. I just like G10 much more.
But it's not a total deal breaker. One day, I may add the South Pole to my collection.
Thanks for the review.
I don't have enough good things to say about this knife. You also do a sterling job reviewing it. Thanks.
Thank you, Darren! Much appreciated. Reviewing knives like this one is a pleasure.
so now you've had them both for a while which do you prefer between this and the apocalypse? id also like to get the apocalypse but it is always out of stock every time i look. the mille couri is next on my list though. i don't know what it is about trc but they just really appeal to me. i've got dozens of knives by all different makers but the south pole is my absolute favourite. yes it is fairly expensive but when you compare it to many other knives of this quality using top materials they usually cost much more. so i think you get a lot for your money and IMO they are very reasonably priced. i paid more or less the same for my bradford guardian 4.5 but i was really disappointed with it. the tip was rounded off and there were grind lines running deep into the choil from where they had run further than the edge when putting the edge on it i presume, and against the stonewashed dlc coating it really shines and stands out. apart from looking rubbish it also leaves an area where corrosion can get in. i just expect a lot more from a knife that cost £250 than that. i expect them to be able to get those little details right. maybe most ppl wouldn't care about things like that but if you are spending £250 it is because you do care. the handle is also far too long and the sheath is absolute rubbish. it isn't fit for purpose and if anything it is actually dangerous. and it is by no means the only expensive knife in my collection with such issues. but i'm fairly confident that if i order another trc that it will arrive flawless. i just wish more makers had the same quality control. trc shows that it can be done. there is no reason why any other company can't do the same. Mr Trisius obviously respects his customers more than most. i suppose that is why they are always out of stock.
How is this knife different from the K-1 model? Thanks for any feed back.
Tell me please, what kind of cookware, canteen and mess kit do you use? Thanks for your answer and for your very instructive video….
Awesome review. I have watched this so many times haha.
Can you comment on all on how the Elmax has been in terms of corrosion resistance?
Heh, this is a pretty long video, so watching it more than once is indeed pretty dedicated. ;) In regards to your question though; I've had no traces of corrosion on neither my Apocalypse nor on my South Pole. I do take pretty good care of my knives, and I wipe them off when I've done food prep with them. Still, Elmax is my favorite stainless steel. Both M390 and CTS-204P are even more corrosion resistant, with better edge holding too, but you'll have to work harder once it's time to sharpen them. ;)
@@PinkG10 Haha, yep, it is just a very solid review. And it is fun to watch. So well done!
Great, that is good to hear. I know certain heat teat on elmax can make it less corrosive resistant than it is intended by Uddeholm.
I think I will get one once they are back in stock.
I had the old K1 in M390 but changed my mind on DLC coating and sold it. This South Pole looks like such a refined version of that.
And I like Elmax in that it is tougher than M390.
Thank you for your thoughts :)
@@PinkG10 I think elmax is also a bit tougher than m390. IMO m390 is more suited to folders
@@mrdarren1045 - You're correct about Elmax being tougher than M390. I actually don't own a single fixed blade in M390, but I do own several folders in it. Oh, wait, I do own a Microtech Arbiter, which is CTS-204P which is pretty much the US carpenter version of M390 ... Still, I don't expect to use that knife as hard as m Apocalypse nor South Pole. But I'm tempted to see how hard I can work with it, before damaging the edge ... It's going to be hell sharpening it though ...
Merci beaucoup l'Ami
This is a beautiful color, do they still sell in this color?
Mine arrived today and I really wanted to love it, but will be sending it back. The rock hard textured handle is so uncomfortable that I couldn’t use this knife unless wearing gloves. Also, because they just slap fabricated handle scales on so they don’t have to hand finish them, the scales are smaller than the tang, creating another uncomfortable transition unless you are wearing gloves. I’ll stick with Bark Rivers.
What a cool Video 🤩👌
Thank you, Markus! I really appreciate it!
@@PinkG10 I think you make great Videos
Thanks! Usually I run across the review I should have watched AFTER my purchase (for instance, I had already committed to Apocalypse before I found your Apoc review). I'm going to try and compare the South Pole to the M390 K1 as both are available for me here. Thanks for the review. I tend to prefer a full flat grind or 90% like the SP. In large knives, I have a 100% FFG large chopper (7.5mm at spine) from Busse in the old INFI nitrogen steel so my big knife bases are loaded and I am looking more critically at medium-length knives. Also, I am one of those bushcraft / fieldcraft heretics that just isn't getting The Joy from Fällkniven...so...big hands. Do you think that Fällkniven will ever make man-sized handles or will they forever be the bushcraft choice of youth, women, and elves...?
Where were you going to obtain your K-1? I am looking for a responsible seller. Thanks for your thoughts.
@@christopherskipp1525 I don't know about the k1. As far as I know he's no longer making them. The only difference between the k1 and South pole as far as I can see it that the scales on the SP are textured while the k1 is just flat slabs. I don't where you are ordering from but in Europe I'd recommend knives and tools. I've had countless items from them and always excellent service. If you are north American your best bet would probably be bushcraft Canada. I know Paul Robinson definitely stocks trc knives. But if anyone still has k1 in stock it must be old stock which surprises me considering how fast his knives sell whenever a retailer gets them in stock. All the best.
Looks like a good edc., dark scales would be a good tactical knife.
Quite frankly IMHO that is the perfect all around size knife...similar to my LTWK Trekker
It's indeed a fantastic all around-knife, limited only by the skill of the user. I'm blown away by its design, ergos and performance.
@@PinkG10 I agree with ur assessment, however I personally don't think an all around camp/field/hunting knife needs to be thicker than 3mm. The Elmax is certainly a good choice for this knife being stainless steel. I am also a fan of AEB-L steel for the same reason & also easier to sharpen in the field. A sharpened spine for ferro rod sparks would also be preferred. The finger choil is a tad to deep on the South Pole design for my liking but i can look past this if it is as comfortable as you say it is for long continuous use.
I don't have any issues with the blade thickness being 4.5mm, but I fully understand what you're saying and where you're coming from. I do have a ton of smaller sized knives (smaller and same size as the SP) which are a lot thinner, but despite being 4.5mm, the South Pole still performs just as fine as many of those. I also think Elmax works very well for this specific model, but if I had to pick another steel-type, I'd have gone CPM-3V or possibly CPM-154. CPM-3V due to its toughness, edge retention and being semi-easy to sharpen, but lacking the real corrosion resistance of a stainless steel. Still, I do find my CPM-3V blades to provide some corrosion resistance depending on what you do to do the blade and how you take care of it (not talking about some random patina now). CPM-154 would have been less corrosion resistant than Elmax, with less edge retention, but easier to sharpen and, depending on heat treatment, potentially tougher. Regarding sharpened spines; I have very, very few knives with sharpened 90 degree spines. The only ones I have with rounded spines, however, are the Apocalypse and the South Pole. I prefer the spine the way it's on the South Pole, both in apperance but also ergonomically. But there's, however, no denying that a sharpened spine will make it easier to throw sparks using a ferro rod. Lastly, I don't know about the finger groove/choil being too deep, I guess that'll be up to personal preferences? I'm happy the way it currently is, especially since any finger groove-design like this is a potential deal breaker for me. I'm just happy that it works so well regardless of how I hold the knife. Had it felt/been any different, then this review would have been A LOT different. Kind of an interesting thought tbh ...
The TRC South pole has 0.0197 inch behind the cutting edge which is a very good value for an all-purpose knife with 4.5 mm. The blade geometry and how well it is executed is at least as important as the blade thickness itself. Trc does an excellent job here! I own well over 10 knives from TRC in terms of processing, heat treatment, blade geometry, fit and finish... Better than Bark River better than Hinderer, TRC sets the latte very high.
If TRC were a US company, the knives would already be world famous and easily cost twice as much. Trust me once you have a TRC in your hand then you know what I mean👌
@@bossmodus5020 THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS INFO GOOD SIR!!! I've been looking all over to try to find the behind-the-edge thickness and hardly anybody ever mentions those VERY important specs! So thank for posting that as that's exactly what I was looking for.
I'm honestly surprised not many people apparently even think about that as blade geometry is more important than almost anything when it comes to cutting performance. I mean, who cares what uber steel it has or what mythical HT it's gone through if it's basically a sharpened crowbar?!
I'm very interested in hearing what models you have from TRC as I don't have any yet but was considering them as a top contender for my bushcraft style and small to medium sized knife desires.
I've been looking at this South Pole, the This is Freedom, the smaller Classic Freedom, and also the Apocalypse.
Fallkniven has of course been something I've been thinking about, mainly their Pro line for the F1 and A1, but the overly thick blades make me worry about cutting performance. I like the convex style edge, however I have no idea how thick they get near the edge.
I've also been considering the Spyderco Zoomer and the Spyderco Proficient as both seem like great bushcraft style knives. Sharpening that Zoomer model with its appleseed grind does concern me a bit though.... Will it ever look good again after a few resharpenings? Will it be any more a pain to sharpen than a typical convex edge?
The new Spyderco Province also looks to be a good contender for the TRC Apocalypse. I'd like to see a head to head of those in terms of performance. No doubt TRC will be top in fit and finish (not that Spyderco is any slouch there) but the Spyderco's geometry and steel choice seem like it'd be a fantastic performer.
Anyways, I'd love to hear more about your TRC knives if you care to share.
Hi! You tried the Apocalypse and the South Pole, which one do you prefer, which one would you pick if you only had to pick one? (What about the KS1 by the way?)
Thank you!
They're pretty different knives, although with some similarities. If you're not going to do any super tough stuff, like chopping or batoning thick pieces of wood, then I'd go with the South Pole. It's a excellent light weight option, that can do pretty much anything you can ask from a knife in this size (or even slightly bigger). However, if you know for a fact that you're going to do a lot of chopping, batoning and heavy branching/de-limbing, then do consider the Apocalypse as your first choice. If I could only own one of the two ... That's a real tough question, tbh. I think I'm leaning towards the South Pole right now, but that can change from one day to another ...
@@PinkG10 Thank you very much for your answer, Sir. One last thing, considering the South Pole as perhaps an edc knife, more than the Apocalypse obviously, I am hesitating between this one and the Gunny Hunter from Bark River in cpm3v. I can't recall if you had this one in your hands but if you did or maybe from what you heard about it, would you recommend the gunny hunter or the south pole? Thanks a lot for your videos by the way!
I don't own the Gunny Hunter, but I do own the "regular" Gunny in CPM-3V. The Gunny, and Gunny Hunter, are both nice knives, no doubt about it. Many people regard the Gunny (Hunter) as their favorite BRK-model, but I never fell in love with it in that way. I do think it's a good knife, in a useful size, with great steel (if you go with CPM-3V or Elmax) and full convex is ofc always a plus in my book. I also believe the Gunny to be one of the best selling models by Bark River. I will say, though, that the Gunny-models are VERY different from the South Pole. I, personally, would pick the South Pole over the Gunny (Hunter). With that being said, there are other models by Bark River that I would potentially pick over the South Pole ... Still, the South Pole is a new favorite knife of mine, and I'm sure it'll see A TON of use from now on, and I really do recommend it!
@@l1gh7warden you should have a look on the trc classic freedom ore this is freedom. best knives you will ever have in your hands!!!
Hi, how does the south pole compare to the Mille Cuiro? I am thinking about buying a south pole or waiting for the M1 to be restocked.😊
What's the difference between the K1 and the Southpole? Is the Southpole an improved version of K1 or it's just 2 different knives both in production?
They're two different models and both are in production.
I may have missed this in the video, but is this a hollow grind or flat grind?
Hopefully I can find either model
What would be your top three blades for the Zombie Apocalypse?
I commented on your bark river video, I have a esee junglas for heavy work and looking for a new bushcraft knife I've narrowed it to the bark river aurora and this south pole, I've read some comments on here about the gunny hunter but between the south pole and Aurora which one can you recommend, cheers
I just replied to your other comment in the Aurora-video, and I hope you find that reply somewhat useful. You didn't mention the Gunny Hunter in your other comment, so let me give you my two cents about it here: I'm personally not the biggest fan of the Gunny, Gunny Hunter, Gunny LT or any Gunny-version in any steel tbh. It's by no means a bad knife, in fact, it's one of the most popular models by BRK, loved by A TON of people. But it's not really a knife for me, personally. I'd pick the Mini-Aurora or Aurora LT over it any day of the week, and many other models as well. Like I stated in my other comment, I really do think you should try to get your hands on TRC-knife one day, since they're among the finest knives you can get your hands on, as well as knives with the highest quality consistency I've seen. Great users too, ofc. But the South Pole is NOT a dedicated bushcraft-knife the way that the Aurora-knives are, so that's something to take into consideration ...
@@PinkG10 yeh thanks just replied to your other comment, yeh I've seen every one loves the gunny but it just doesn't do it for me like the aurora and south pole does, as I said in my other comment I'm looking for a knife that will do everything other than baton as I have my junglas for so in that regard looks like it is the south pole I'm going for but I think I'm gonna get an Aurora aswell for my birthday next year, thanks again for both replies hand I wish you the best on future content thanks again.
If fit and finish doesn't bother you then go with either. But if it does the trc wins hands down. Trc knives feel exclusive... you can tell he only makes a few knives each week but puts 100% into every one. On the other hand you can definitely feel bark rivers ambition to turn out 1000 knives every week. 1000 maybe but I won't ever be buying another one.
I've got the k1 with blaze orange with orange kydex sheath and it's one exceptional knife TRC all the way if you like a good knife your love one
Hi
I have a TRC south pole.
What's the sharpening angle?
What did you find out about the sharpening angle
So many people putting $$$ knives on review and batonning! It's just funny to me because you can baton with a butter knife if you have to... This is 'beater knife' turf. All full tang knives can all 'do' it but if I had two knives with me, the crappier knife will always be the batonning victim.
I see, your a axe guy...
Haaahaha, yes. Honestly, I'm not one of 'those' axe people that crap on batonning. I have a decent axe collection and certainly tools for splitting wood for the home. In the woods, I'm a knife guy. My nickname has more to do with the fact that I was throwing double bit axes in a Scandinavian manner back when it wasn't cool. Just moved but my old place had a decent range set up for axe and knife throwing. (Never throw axes at live trees, please. It is abusive to these majestic old soldiers of the forest.)
Just not a real common pursuit in the community I was in, hence the nickname.
Insta subscribe. Absolutely fun to watch style, make more content! I.. I.
Me too! 👍
Nice knife
I have a K1-S. Do I need a Southpole?
I have both. South Pole is like 15% bigger across the board, otherwise they are identical geometry and materials. Both micarta scales but my K-1S is black and the South Pole the natural light brown color seen here. Mine are both 2021s. Only difference I see from my South Pole to the one reviewed here is I have the apocalyptic finish on the steel and the handle rivets are hollowed out.
Price??
Tip test should be side to side ...... on different pieces of woods ... that was soft wood .
To be honest, and as I stated in the video, I'm not much for doing tip tests at all. I think I've skipped that in most videos since this one. Still, this is perhaps better than nothing, since no other videos show any tip tests on the South Pole. And yes, birch is indeed a soft wood, like most European tree types aside from oak and a very few others.
+++💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
the shape of blade is a copy from Master hunter from Cold steel
To be sincere I do not get all these baton tests on a good knife. Have a good handy axe with you and don’t try to eat soup with a fork :)
I don't really have a problem performing batoning-tests etc., but I don't enjoy it very much. Sometimes some light batoning can be usueful, imo. Regardless, I know this knife will handle batoning with ease. I'm not the biggest fan of tip-tests though, but I decided to go for it just to show that the tip will hold up to some "abuse" of sorts. All in all; I mainly use my knife for light camp-chores, some random wood carving and, most of all, food prep. But that's me.
#InTheNameOfScience XD
Thank you so much, I feel that you really love these knives
Just discovering TRC knives, I ordered the South Pole and I will have it end of this week and today the Mille Cuori, so that I will have to wait for about one whole month:/
Now I will dream a lot about the Apocalypse
Please make a review of the Mille Cuori
to see other modells, you can visit also the "coutellerie-tourangelle.com"
Thank you for your kind words! And yes, I really do love the three TRC-knives that I currently own. Speaking of the Mille Cuori, I already made a full review for it. I hope you've got some time over, since it's my most lengthy review so far. ;)
Mille Cuori: ua-cam.com/video/QSfU8PGUKcU/v-deo.html
Apocalypse: ua-cam.com/video/_gQUhb33Cwc/v-deo.html
I look forward to hear what you think about the South Pole, and later on the Mille Cuori!
@@PinkG10
I really like your expression: in the name of (UA-cam) science
in the meantime I looked at your review of the Mille Cuori,
which I also greatly appreciated, but this one about the South Pole is more poetical
my South pole is on the road;)
Bro, thanks for the review but you have to work on your cutting technique :))
good videos, but please dont use living trees for knive testing.
I never do. The trees shown in this video, however, had just (like less than a week ago) been taken down by the land owner (who I also know). Sometimes, the woods/forests need some maintenance like that.
Review.
Other lesser U-tube bi*ches, watch & learn.
Thank you.
wow....nice review. How about making a fire with this knife? you know, a task a survival/bush craft knife should be used for? how does it feather stick? how does is work with a ferro rod? How does is shave wood for tinder? How does it carve? ....all you did was chop fruit and veg, a task for a KITCHEN knife. Useless review.
Well, Alex, I didn't force you to watch this review, you know. And if you had taken two seconds and watched the time stamps, you could have easily seen if this was the review you wanted to watch or not. In regards to your question about feathers, why don't you take a quick look at the time stamp 21:33. Oh, and if you think this knife won't carve, then I don't know what to say tbh. As for striking a ferro rod, I always bring a small striking steel for that, but you can use the knife too. I don't use this knife to "survive out in the wild", I use it to do food prep, baton wood, doing minor branching etc. and I also use it because it has great ergonomics for me. I tend to bring stormproof matches with me as well as my Trangia-set when I'm out camping. I hope you find a video-review which is more to your liking.
