Love my Hog 4.5,got to chat with the designer!

Bought it (new) for $120.00

 

[Unk]

I have one(1) - TOPS-BUCK CSAR T..w/154 CM with Paul Boss heat treatment.

Nice heavy duty folder and while not a ZT 550 represented good value to me. I will probably buy another TOPS brand knife.

Yessir! 3/8" stock! I finally found a knife that meets my requirements for a sharpened prybar!

The lighter just kind of fell beside the knife while I was putting together some junk for a size comparison pic, and I realized that it would be an easy way to show just how gonzo this knife really is!

 

[G. Scott H.]

Yeah.

TOPS Lil' Roughneck

I have one too. Solid would be an understatement. I reprofiled mine from the factory ~60* included down to 40*. The new bevels are like 3/16" wide (the blade's really thick even behind the edge), but it actually cuts stuff now. :thumbup: I don't carry it much, due to the roughly 12lb weight D), but it's a really cool "fun" knife for sh*ts and grins.

Good as a "loaner" knife, too.

"Hey, can I borrow your knife?"

"Sure!" CLUNK.

"Whoa."

I have been chatting a bit with them of late.

For those of you who are fans which models most interest you?

I really, really love the Mil-Spie 3, it's a great design. I also like TOPS because they have a decent amount of knives in properly heat treated stainless.

Love tops knives. A little overpriced, but have never been disappointed by one. I'm glad they are starting to minimize the usage of the goofy cutouts and holes drilled in the blades. That just killed the appeal for me. I love the Prather war Bowie, the hog hunter, the Tex creek, etc. all are on my wish list.

Love Tops knives and I have looked at many to say the least. I have the Mil Spie 3 and 5 and the Mini eagle...and now I just gota have that dam 3/8" mini pry bar (the Lil Roughneck) I'll put my own edge on it and will shave down the Kydex should make a great EDC.

 

[Seilu]

Tops are my go-to american made fixed blades
