I'm looking for the original description (history) from the TOPS website of this knife.
Maybe someone has an older printed catalogue?
Maybe there are some with good google skills?

Same question for the first TOPS BTK (Bird and Trout Knife)

Are you asking about these models because they look exactly like knives made by custom maker John Greco, yet TOPS never attributed them to Mr. Greco? I, too, have wondered about that for years. TOPS historically has given attribution to all of its design collaborators, yet the Bush Ranger appeared in the lineup without any mention of its origin.

Hopefully someone with some in-depth knowlege of TOPS's early years can shed some light.

Yes, that's the reason I'm asking.
I also don't remember them to mention Mr Greco.
I wanted to know what they wrote about the knife

Maybe the reason is that Mr Greco's knives where probably cheaper than TOPS at that time (?)
