I'm a fan
I've only recently begun to purchase TOPS knives, but they've made a fan out of me for sure. This little hawkbill is one helluva knife. It's stupid sharp (I gave myself a nice little scar when I wasn't paying enough attention), it fits supremely well in my hands, and it's built like a tank. But, it's also not super heavy, either -- just enough heft to know it's there, but not too much for the style of knife. My only (minor) gripe is with the sheath -- from what I've seen, TOPS doesn't spend a lot of time or money on their sheath design. I'd love to be able to wear this in multiple carry positions and angles, but the sheath really only allows for limited choices. Otherwise, this is an incredible tool and well worth the cost.
