Awesome knife, Go USA!
I wish I purchased Tops knive sooner and will be replacing my Chinese knives with Tops. Know before you purchase a 1095 blade that you need to keep it oiled. Oxygen is the enemy of the extremely sharp edge. Expect sharpening to be more difficult but the reward is that it will hold its edge and is much harder than SS. The saw back is the best I've used. As nylon sheaths go, excellent quality. Although inherent with nylon, I will be removing the Velcro retaining straps on the sheath as I find them inefficient, time consuming and a pain to deal with when removing or sheathing the knife. I'll be replacing the Velcro with a kydex component/insert of some sort that will capture the blade as kydex does. Never seen this done with a nylon sheath but I need to try it.
