new knife on its way

[Lee D]

i just recieved an email notifying me that my package has left Des Moines, and im expecting it in the next day or so. ive never owned a TOPS brand knife, but the colaboration knives that Buck and TOPS have done are top quality, so i figured id give the TOPS knives a look. i'll get some pics and a review up next week. im going camping this weekend so i hope to have it here by saturday.

check out this little beast i ordered...3/8" thick!

3/8"???

That's ... amazing.

You won't be able to break that.

While the body of the knife likely won't break, you'll still have to take care and not abuse the edge and the point.

Its so thick the billboard is on the spine!

i edc a smaller fixed blade on my belt and a folder in my pocket, and if i like this little guy as much as im hoping to, it might even replace my beloved BK11 as the edc fixed blade. and ive been a huge Becker fan for almost 10 years now. when it comes to knives, i love a thick piece of quality steel.

10 oz ! wow.

cool knife.

I'd be interested to hear a review when you get it, especially whether the edge is usable or too thick.

 

[hso]

I was hoping for a user review as well because of the thickness.

i'll put it to some use as soon as i get it and will let yall know what i think about it. the Becker vs TOPS comparison should be interesting.

 

[Il Duca]

I don't think you'll be disappointed. I like my Beckers, but I LOVE my Tops.

 

[JShirley]

I'm also interested.

I have a Tops Blackstar Evo. It's super blade.

i got the Lil Roughneck, and im very happy with it. stout as hell, and was hair popping sharp right outta the box. i didnt get to do any camping last weekend due to the weather, so i didnt get to really give it a proper workout, but i was able to put it to use sharpening some marshmallow sticks for the firepit in the yard. LOL

check out how thick this little guy is....
