TRM NERD – Compact Precision in Your Pocket

Small Size, Big Capabilities

The TRM Nerd is back and better than ever. This compact USA-made folder is designed to punch above its weight class with its exceptional fit and finish, ultra-slicey blade geometry, and thoughtful ergonomics—all trademarks of the Three Rivers Mfg. lineup. Whether you’re opening mail, slicing fruit, or breaking down packaging, the Nerd handles it with surgical precision.

This is TRM’s smallest knife to date, but don’t let its size fool you. It’s a fully capable EDC companion with top-shelf materials, tight tolerances, and a refined feel that will surprise you the first time you put it to work.

Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply

I love when makers revisit a design and just absolutely nail the update. The Nerd is a compact folder done right. It’s one of those knives you forget is in your pocket—until you need it. Whether you’re picking Micarta or G10, you’re getting premium quality in a tiny package.

A Compact Folder That Feels Custom

TRM is known for their ultra-thin blade stock and dialed-in finishing, and the Nerd delivers both in spades. It may be small, but it’s built with the same care as their full-size models. Swap scales, upgrade hardware, or carry it as-is—this one’s a keeper.

Let me know when you’re ready to do the Titanium Nerd version, and I’ll mirror the layout with the right tweaks.
