TOPS folders

[USCGGM]

Anyone had any experience with the TOPS folders? I am curious but haven't heard anything about them. Are they worth a look?
Thanks in advance for the opinions.

Most are made for TOPS by Fox
Cutlery in Italy.

In my experience, they are very good knives. I think they are underrated and underappreciated on this forum.
The NC690 steel that most of the folders feature is very good.

What model were you thinking of?

I was looking at the CQT 303 as my first choice and the 304 as the backup choice. I was thinking about posting for a trade on the trading forum before I outright bought one but wanted to know if it was even worth the trouble. Thanks for the feedback.

Hmm, I had a tops folder too!!
Dont remember knife model #, but I think it was the thunderhawk or whatnot. It was a Titanium Frame lock, with a black blade, tanto, made of n690.
It was a god knife, but it had cheap plastic washers, and continuously developed new levels of blade play (front to back as well as side to side).
Maybe it was just my bad luck, I donno.
