I searched the forums here for some information on this knife, but wasnt able to find anything that was very helpful. From what I did find, it appears that Tops knives are hard workers, but are ground thick and dont cut exceptionally well. The harpoon looks like it has the same thick grind as the others in pictures, but I am unsure, and cannot find it anywhere. I really like using 1095 in the KA-BAR's I commonly buy for fifty bucks, but are the Tops worth the near $200 price tag? I was looking to use this knife as a combat/survival knife. As it is a knife it obviously can be used as a weapon, but is the design particularly useful for that? Any intput at all on the knife, or even the manufacturer would be very helpful, and appreciated.
