One of the best values in a USA-made fixed blade today, now with a premium DLC upgrade.

The TRM Tagalong has built a reputation as one of the smartest, most practical fixed blades on the market. This Special Edition DLC version takes that foundation and adds a more refined, premium feel, marking the first fully DLC-coated Tagalong ever produced. Lone Star Knife & Supply is proud to offer this milestone release.

This configuration pairs a full tang MagnaCut blade with a full DLC finish and Blue Denim Micarta scales, delivering durability, corrosion resistance, and a look that balances modern performance with classic character.

Compact, Purpose-Built, and Easy to Carry

The Tagalong is exactly what its name suggests: a knife that’s always there when you need it and never in the way when you don’t. Its compact fixed blade design makes it exceptionally easy to carry, while still providing real cutting capability for daily tasks.

With MagnaCut steel and full tang construction, this Special Edition keeps the Tagalong’s practical roots intact. The Blue Denim Micarta adds warmth and texture, giving the knife a broken-in feel that gets better with use.

Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply

The standard Tagalong already overdelivers, but this DLC version takes it to another level. The Blue Denim Micarta looks great out of the box and only improves with time, while the DLC blade adds real durability, not just visual appeal. This is the kind of upgrade that makes sense for people who actually carry and use their knives.

Supporting knives like this matters if we want more high-quality manufacturing to stay right here in the USA.

About the DLC Finish

DLC, or Diamond-Like Carbon, isn’t just about looks. It increases surface hardness, improves wear resistance, and adds another layer of corrosion protection to MagnaCut. It also reduces friction, helping the blade move more smoothly through cuts while standing up better to long-term use.

This is a functional upgrade that complements the Tagalong’s everyday mission.
