TOPS Knives

Forward of friendly lines and deep in the mountain passes where the Taliban are laid in deep, is where you'll find the likes of men carrying the Delta Unit 3. When it comes down to either your life or his, you know you've got the leveler, and the decision is yours. The reality is clear. You are prepared for the action. The military's concepts of fast moving, small unit operations, embedded with their counterparts, are empowered by individuals with skills that most do not have. They are the few, willing to take risks most will not. They are more disciplined, and more dedicated. These men set out to dominate, eliminate, and control.

Since the inception of TOPS Knives in early 1998, some of these individuals from small specialized units have contacted them for direct support by making the right tool for the right job (design by requirements). Whether covert missions or day to day operations, TOPS' collaboration with the units produces not what TOPS thinks they need, but what they actually need. When the mission is complete and the need for secrecy abates, TOPS can then put the feel of success in the hands of those that can and do appreciate a great tool, with or without a mission. The Delta Unit 3 has in addition to its activities in the field, undergone extensive testing and use by outdoorsmen throughout the Rocky Mountains. A characteristically short, strong knife built by purpose and need with a limited 3" blade and a solid thickness of 0.25" solid steel. Tough now... Cause there ain't no tomorrow.

Hate not giving a Tops a 5
Only underwhelming TOPS knife I’ve received…. Until I put it through its paces….The grind was terrible. Super rough grind near the tip. About the front inch to inch and a half had such deep gouges that the only way to stop the rust was regrinding and reprofiling the whole edge. Oiling would not keep that tip clear from rust.The knife now has a 15 degree convex secondary and it is one of the best wood processing knives I have for making kindling, feather sticks, and any other small task. The 1/4 inch steel with the full flat with the secondary convex make it great at splitting, betoning, etc. The wood just gets out of its way with minimal effort.The shape and size feels good, but a bit weird, like you just don’t know exactly what kind of knife this is, but once you start using it, it shows up and shows off.Grind sucked, sheath rocks, though I changed the clip for an Ulticlip so I could pocket carry, and the handles feel great. There is definitely a tactical vibe to this knife, but can do bushcraft tasks, and I am sure it would work well at skinning too.
