Monster in My Pants!

Talk about a monster of a knife...
Picked this up from Greg, aka KodiakPA

Damn thing is big... maybe not as big as a Cuda Maxx, but beefy nonetheless.

Nice lookin' knife, what are the specs on it?

Reminds me of a mechanic we once had.
I was eating lunch with about five other airplane mechanics at a nice flightline picnic table and the new guy had invited his wife This meant we were on our best behavior. Everyone was well aware of my purple Severtech and called it , appropiately enough, " The Purple Monster" . The new guy really was impressed with it and said to his wife, totally without forethought, "You wanna see Kevins big "Purple Monster", at which all the guys broke up and the young Mrs. smacked her husband on the arm. Only then had he realized his faux-pas.

Tops magnum right? I read a post by another forumite that told the story fo how he pried a door open whit one of those . With no damage to the knife. Good buy!

Nice knife...why do you have the one's on that dollar bill marked out?

 

[Kukri4302]

Yes, it's the Tops Magnum... The story is by our very own Brian Jones, Survival Guru and Mod... (I think he's a mod... don't bite my head off if I'm wrong)...

The link to the story is on the Tops website available here

Specs are available here

the blacked out 1's are... well, it might be a myth, but taking lifesized pics of money (they were actual size in the original pics) can be construed as counterfeiting... blacking them out would mean that there was no intention of duplicating the dollar for illegitimate purposes.

I have had a Tops Magnum for a number of years. In fact mine is # 017 (the 17th one Tops made). Great knives.

Is it a liner lock, frame lock or ??

 

[MelancholyMutt]

Liner... hard as hell to open... hard as hell to disengage the lock

 

[will22]

Yup thats the story. Pretty impressive. If it was legal for me to carry one I would already have one.

 

[bishop85gt]

Thats a rough piece of hardware!! Got to have one!!

Thanks M Mutt.

That had me downright perplexed. It's better safe than sorry and that was good thinking.
