that thing like the other large hideous blades posted previously in this thread are for nothing more than wrapping in a plexi-glass box and put on display. In any combat situation, the thing would either break, break the users arm, or impale and lacerate the user...

Absolutely and yet funny as heck...

I didnt say a combat karambit was too large, although I do have small hands...I am considering a cutom made karambit :p

The TOPS Scorpion Tail II is a terrific knife. Great choice!
 
TOPS may make some good knives, I don't know personally since I've never handled one. However, I do know the names they choose for many of their products are goofy as hell. I've cut and pasted these names from their website. Damn. they make a lot of different models. Again, I'm not saying these are bad quality but these names are hilarious to me:The red words are my thoughts on some names
Air Wolfe (perhaps endorsed by Ernest Borgnine?)
Anaconda 7B ...it don't want none (unless it's got buns, hon)
Anaconda Hunters Point
Armageddon Doomsday must have been taken
B.E.S.T. Black Eagle Strike Team Hunter's Point Acronyms rock!
Baghdad Box Cutter Is a box some kind of military slang?
Battle Cry Would you want "cry" on your knife?
CALIFORNIA COBRA
Cockpit Commander Don't ask, don't tell
Combat Alley
Cougar Claw
COVERT SOLUTION
CQT Thunder Hawke
Dakota Drifter Hawaii Hobo is better IMO
DAWN WARRIOR
Desert Hawke
Devil's Claw
Devil's Elbow
Devil's Elbow XL Devil's Toenail, Devil's Prostate, Devil's Armpit
EXFILTRATOR 5
Felony Stop
Iraq Jac Joint Aggravation Control Needs more words
LIL FIXER how cute!
Loner The drifter won't hang out with him
M4X PUNISHER
MAX The Mini Axe Sounds like a Dr. Seuss book
Nite Chaser MISSPELLING SOUNDS TOUGHER!!!
ROGUE WOLF Hey, where's the superfluous "e"?
Tactical Steak Knife This is a great knife to have when all hell breaks loose at your local Sizzler.
TALIBAN TAKE DOWN
TENNESSEE TICKLER Why not French Tickler?
TRAVELIN MAN Another ally for the Loner and Drifter?

That above ^ is funny. True and funny.

From Tops web site...
Our Knives are TOOLS designed, and built, using the extensive knowledge and REAL LIFE Experiences of 12 Operators...
Click to expand...

as in "one ringy dingies, two ringy dingies..."

They could just say "Our knives and tools are designed by former military and law enforcement professionals...", etc. etc. But "Operators" sounds so much cooler that ya gotta go with that. Because maybe, just a little bit, if you spend money on one of their knives you can be mistaken for an "operator" by your family and friends.

I own a bunch and they are GREAT!! This is also really funny.
 
Thanks for having a sense of humor. They seem like they are well made...they just need to work on their naming process.
 
^What the holy HECK is that thing supposed to be/do??^

Stelth, I loved your TOPS names list! Funny! I've said it before and I'll say it again, they may make good knives, but looking at their models/names, I feel like I'm looking at a toy line. They just need the G. I. Joe logo stamped obnoxiously large on the blades!

Now at the risk of revealing my ignorance I'm showing the following...

http://www.emersonknives.com/karambit.htm

My objection is not with the knifemaker, Emerson in this case (who makes some well thought out knives) but with the design. This is a karambit. Yep I know the karambit is an old S.E. Asian blade design. But when did these knives and blade style acquire a hole on the handle through which one is supposed to place the little finger? This finger is known as the "pinkie" finger. Of the digits it is the most prone to break under hard use. I think this hole is a modern affectation.

Now I've worked jobs where we used knives daily and one (ham boner in the meat packing industry) where I used knives all day as the primary tool. None of us had knives with holes in the handle for the pinkie finger to go through. Would have seemed dangerous and ridiculous. Seems especially so on a blade that is supposed to be a fighting tool.

WTF is this monstrosity called? What is it and what are it's manifold uses? :confused:

I'd say its some sort of fireman's tool,designed to be an axe and a knife.the loop is probably just a way to attach it to a belt with a carabiner or something.
