TOLILB01: Tops Lil Bugger Fixed Blade Knife

Real Steel Knives

The Lil Bugger was designed by Matt Graham, who is much more than just a “survivalist”. He is an athlete – ultra-marathons, triathlons, rock climbing, etc., a martial artist – several styles, and an expert in primitive weapons, hunting, and shelters. He has more “dirt time” than almost anyone else out there.

The reason he designed the Lil Bugger was to have a sharp, full-tang fixed blade that can be carried when everything else is left behind. Imagine running an ultra-marathon with a backpack full of gear and this starts to make sense. In order to meet that need, he designed the Lil Bugger.

It’s made of 0.09” 1095 steel with thin tan canvas Micarta handles and black liners. The knife weighs in at about 2.4 oz. The sheath, also lightweight and minimal weighs less than two, giving you a total package of less than 4 oz. The narrow j-clip on the sheath is great for wearing this on a belt or on a pack. It can also be worn with most shorts without falling off. The thin, straight blade is complimented with TOPS’ modified Scandi grind, making this knife razor sharp with a proven utility-style blade.

Cons: None
Good EDC
Good solid knife for edc and utility. I do miss having a belly to the blade but for industrial type cutting tasks the warncliff blade excels. Some food prep with the lift of a cutting board is possible. Knife geometry makes it hard to do chopping tasks on a flat surface. The handle is small but useable with the finger indexed on the jumping or in the ferro rod striker notch. I wouldn’t want this knife in a bush scenario or as a hunting knife but for urban edc it’s awesome! Sheath clip is garbage for how I use the knife but easily replaced and without any clip it is almost unnoticed as a neck knife due to its light weight and inverted sheath retention is great thus far. I carry it in a tool pocket on my key logger pants with a modified ESEE Izula II clip plate and it’s the perfect work companion.
