TOFMS05: Frog Market Special

TOPS Knives

The Frog Market Special is made of 1095 High Carbon Steel, and has Tan Canvas Micarta scales. It has the Tungsten Cerakote finish that is quickly becoming one of the most popular finishes that TOPS offers. The wide heel allows for deep, shearing cuts. The steep curve up to the edge slices well. As you use the knife, you'll notice it has an ergonomic handle that is very comfortable. The thinner steel allows for clean, smooth cuts and gives the blade some added flexibility over thicker knives. The tip is also ideal for boning meats like chicken and pork. Although the Frog Market Special is great in the kitchen, you'll find a myriad of uses for it while camping, fishing, and hunting as well.

Steven Dick, who is an editor with Tactical Knives, refined this design based on what he saw on a trip to Hanoi, Vietnam. He saw butchers and fish mongers using knives with a pattern that he'd never seen before. They were able to prepare meats and fish of many varieties easily using their unique blades. But rest assured, although the inspiration for the Frog Market Special comes from the markets in Vietnam, the knives are still manufactured and hand-finished right here in the Rocky Mountains USA.

Pros: None
Cons: None
poor construction
nice knife, but after using it lightly for 2 weeks, the handle is loose. Have to pay 25% of price of knife to ship it back and forth to TOPS for them to fix. Lousy return policy, handle is comfortable but poorly attached.
