About This Episode:
TRM Knives' Marianne Halpern joins us at Blade Show 2026 to share the story behind Three Rivers Manufacturing and its evolution from Halpern Titanium. For nearly 30 years, Halpern Titanium operated as an OEM producing components behind the scenes. Over the last decade, TRM has grown into a fan favorite known for lightweight, high-performance knives that are 100% made in the USA. Marianne walks through the company's history, the transition from OEM work to building their own knives, and gives an early look at new variations and upgrades coming to some of TRM's most popular models.
