Remember the Shadow Hunter? That classic from the TOPS archives, a favorite of TOPS founder Mike.  Well, it's making a comeback, and it's not just a trip down memory lane.

  This new version has slight modifications to make everything about it better. First, the blade is just a bit longer, which makes it look and perform better. The jimping was repositioned and updated. The finger choil was widened slightly to make it safer. Then the handles are a bit thicker with a better contour to make them much more comfortable for long use. The new finish is Cerakote instead of powder coat, and now it has a Coyote Tan Kydex sheath with a rotating clip. All these changes make this an excellent knife for hunting, camping , or even as a self-defense blade. It's the Shadow Hunter you loved, only better. This isn't just another knife. It's a piece of TOPS history, made relevant for today

Many useful tools have come from the Japanese over the years. The Nata (which translates in this context roughly to hatchet) is one that hasn’t seen as much of the limelight as weapons like the katana or EDC tools like the kiridashi. It was used primarily as a gardening tool, pruning or removing limbs from trees, clearing brush, and handling tasks that you might expect from a knife before power tools or modern tools existed. However, the Nata’s simplistic design compliments its functionality perfectly.

TOPS’ version of the Nata blends the traditional Japanese style with American grit. The wide rectangular blade keeps mass behind the entire length of the edge, which makes it chop better than most knives of its size. Chopping power is also enhanced by the canted handle. TOPS version has a standard flat grind on both sides of the blade rather than the chisel or single-beveled style that many Japanese tools have. It is also a full-tang knife just like all TOPS fixed-blades are. The thick, well-contoured handles provide a comfortable grip and the simple out-the-front sheath makes it easy to carry and use around the house, the ranch, the campsite, or wherever else you may find yourself.

PRE-OWNED:

  Folks, this knife is really nice.  No signs of carry or use.  Original factory edge.  Probably been in and out of sheath a few times but that looks like all.  You won't be dissapointed in this PRE-OWNED MISSILE STRIKE.  Comes in the original TOPS box, plastic bag with whistle and certificate.

  The parameters were simple, a Sheep’s Foot or Wharncliffe blade shape up to 8” in overall length. After drawings were submitted and votes were counted, The Sheep Creek came out victorious. Small enough for EDC yet big enough for camp, this design will be sure to find its way into your rotation.

  The Sheep Creek has a flat grind that will prove worthy of light Bushcraft and camp tasks as well as food prep around the camp site. Made from 154CM Stainless Steel, this knife can withstand the harshest of elements. Named after the designer’s favorite camping area and located in Idaho’s Caribou-Targhee National Forest, Dylan would spend most of his summer vacations as a child camping and fishing in the area with family and friends. This knife pays homage to the countless memories made.

 The Missile Strike is a great combination of combat and utility. Its narrow blade with long swedge allows for great penetrating stabs (the swedge can be sharpened upon request). The 1/4” thickness provides enough weight to add some power in stabbing, slashing, and when smashing using the pointed pommel. There is a very generous finger guard to ensure that your hand will not slip onto the blade.

Given that the knife will likely be used as a utility tool more often than not, there are features that were included to facilitate that use. The comfortable Micarta handle scales will stand up to use and provide excellent grip. There is a choil so you can choke up for finer tasks, and it’s made from 1095 steel, which holds a great edge, and is easy to re-sharpen in the field (a must for those who don’t always have a proper sharpening system handy). It comes with a tan Kydex sheath that has great retention, but still allows for a solid grip from the moment it’s drawn.

  Folks, this knife is really nice.  No signs of carry or use.  Original factory edge.  Probably been in and out of sheath a few times but that looks like all.  You won't be dissapointed in this PRE-OWNED OPERATOR 7-03.  Comes in the TOPS plastic bag with whistle and certificate.

  The Operator 7 is huge! We went big with thick steel and handles to make a hefty, well-balanced knife that will excel as a workhorse tool. But it also has those classic American fighting knife aesthetics that make it look every bit as good as it will perform.

Made out of 5/16" thick 1075, the differentially heat treated blade will be impact resistant on the edge with a very strong spine. The handles start with Tan Canvas Micarta on the bottom sandwiched with Black G10 on top that has a great texture for grip. The entire handle is also over 1" thick once assembled to fill out the user's hand much like an ax or hatchet handle would.

Because it is a tool, it’s got to be useful and it's got to be comfortable. It's made for the fighters that don't back down. This knife will find its place with door kickers, survivalists, and weekend warriors alike. The rounded handles and hand guard make it a joy to use and the finger choil allows the user to get great precision for finer cuts. The six and a half inches of cutting edge will suffice for the vast majority of cutting tasks, and the weight will help the knife to a lot of the work itself. Operat

TOPS ELCH-04 El Chete Midnight Bronze - Black Kydex Sheath with leather dangler.

How does TOPS define destruction? El Chete. This blade was designed with one thought in mind... chopping. With a 1/4" thick blade that is a full foot long, it will do that very well. Even though it's so large, the knife still weighs in under 2 pounds.  TOPS wanted the handles to be thick enough to fill each user's hand like a hatchet or small ax handle would, so they decided to use sandwiched Micarta. It's well rounded for comfort and the black canvas Micarta underneath the green canvas Micarta adds even more to the aesthetics of this piece. The sheath is an out-the-front design with all the bells and whistles. You just pull up slightly then out the front so that you don't have to strain to pull the knife all the way up through the sheath. There is a strap that when snapped into place, helps immensely with the retention of the blade. TOPS also made this model with black Kydex sheath with leather dangler. If you're in the market for a large knife, you've definitely found it.

TOPS Bestia whopping fixed blade chopper.

  The Bestia was born by melding El Chete - already one of TOPS' most popular workhorses - with a kukri, to create a true beast in chopping ability. The long, forward curved blade and weight behind it bites deep with each swing and the tan traction powder coating will protect the blade for years to come. The handle is also long enough to hold in 2 positions. One for full on chopping and one for more controlled and even fine cuts. What really makes this knife comfortable to wield are the sandwiched Micarta handles that are thick, but well-contoured. The open-backed Kydex sheath with a leather dangler attachment make it easy to carry given its size.

Knife is near mint.   Knife and Sheath show no signs of use or carry.  Original factory edge.  I do see some darkening of handle material around the screws...probably from oil used to preserve the edge of the 1095 blade.  This is not uncommon - Does not affect use at all.  

No box - factory plastic only.  No paperwork or whistle.
