COA? Apologies I don’t know the acronym.

My bad, Certificate of Authenticity. TOPS normally includes a blue paper. (I’m not doubting it’s authenticity, just important for a collector).

Unfortunately I don’t have that. This one would probably be better for someone who just wants a solid use blade.

Weird. I've bought a wide range of TOPS knives from Knife Center and other vendors and none have ever had a 'blue paper' Certificate of Authenticity

Yes, Weird indeed… I have been using / collecting TOPS for quite a while and have a bunch of COA’s. That being said; not every single one has came with one, but If memory serves me correct, that most have, esp the ones that come in sealed plastic (like the CUB for instance).

Just to be clear, I am not doubting Leviathan arms knife AT ALL! Just had asked if he happened to have the COA. If you look through old BF sales posts you will see it too. LOoks like this:
