Pros: Handle Material, Overall Quality, Blade Material
Cons: Sheath/Scabbard
Very Good Utility Knife
I've used this is knife primarily for food prep purposes, an area in which the knife does surprisingly well despite the beefy build of this knife (3/16" thick according to TOPS official specs). The micarta handle and gimping provide an incredible sense of grip and control of the knife. The knife is 1095 steel however, so it is not stainless, which is important to keep in mind, especially when using with food like I do. A small coat of oil on the blade should keep the edge rust-free. Be sure to keep the edge clear of any oxidization agents as well. Overall, this knife is a great general purpose knife for everyone, as TOPS markets it. Highly worth the money if you take care of it.
