TOBAJA45: Baja 4.5 Fixed Blade

TOPS Knives

Based on customer feedback TOPS decided to stretch the popular 3 inch model. In place of the Coyote Tan powder coat, they have upgraded the finish with their famous Tungsten Cerakote, which gives each knife its own unique look. Green Canvas Micarta handle scales and a high-quality leather dangler sheath make this a must-buy for users and collectors alike.

Unlike TOPS' other models in the 4 to 4.5 inch range, this one is 0.16” thick. That thickness along with a full flat grind gives it strength over 0.125” blades, but allows it to maintain superb cutting capabilities since it's slightly thinner than 0.19”. TOPS' professional heat treat gives a long lasting edge that is easy to re-sharpen once it is eventually needed. The jimping on the spine and along the finger guard is ideal for a solid grip in hard use or slippery conditions. Due to the thinner blade, it gives you better precision and greater range from making delicate cuts to cutting thick branches with ease. These same qualities make the BAJA 4.5 great for food prep as well.

The inspiration for the name and design comes from Baja California. From the high point of Devil's Peak at 10,157 feet, to the low Sonoran Desert, to the beautiful beaches, Baja is known for its contrasts. It is recognized worldwide for some of the most rugged, “bad a**” terrain.

A terrific blade

I love this blade, has taken the place of use over my bk16 when needing a blade in this size range, great for camping, hiking, trail walking or edc on the property like me. Tops does a great job with heat treatment, grip is more comfortable then I thought it would be, though the bk16 with my after market handles (hard wood)is slightly more comfortable but is not quite as grippy.I use a sheath made for the Tops bushcrafter and fits well(for the Baja and bk16). Again Tops does a great job with heat treat. Have no clue how the warranty dept is and I have over 30 Tops blades, never had to use warranty. All come very sharp though I clean them all up(polish edges) fit and finish is great as always(not perfect but close)(I'm picky). You cannot go wrong with a Tops knife imo.
