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!:eek:

LOL 3/8th thickness on a <3" blade!! That's awesome. Let us know what you think of it
 
i sure will res1cue. looking at the pics ive found online it looks like a sharpened 6" prybar!
personally, i prefer a small fixed blade on my belt with a folder in my pocket as my EDC combo, and this little knife very well might replace my beloved BK11. :eek:
 
You won't be disappointed with your tops, I have yet to find a single thing to complain about with mine:

I may be ordering their new B.O.B. knife here shortly.
 
wow, that is one serious looking hunk of steel! very cool.
whats your feelings about the kydex sheaths that their knives come with?
 
Thanks, it is a beast. I have the Tracker 2 (pictured) and the Tracker 4. Both are great. The sheaths I would call adequate. They are nothing fancy but they are good rugged jobs that hold the knife firmly and without any wiggling. I prefer leather or nylon over kydex (just personal preference) but the ones Tops uses aren't that bad from what I've seen. They have very beefy metal belt clips as well. The Tracker 2's sheath has 2 clips that rotate so it can be carried horizontally or vertically. The clips are not removable. The Tracker 4's sheath has one removable belt clip that you can position for either left/right/horizontal/vertical carry, or remove it to use it as a neck sheath. Like I said, no complaints.
 
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....

not too bad really...i did use it to clean and chunk up some deer loins for a stew (forgot to mention that) and it worked just fine for the job despite the blades thickness.
i like this little guy alot, and it is gonna be an edc knife from now on....that plus the Buck 301 in my front pocket should cover most of my every day needs. one thing i do like about the sheath is that you can rotate the clip so it can be carried horizontally or vertically.
