I am thinking of getting one of these and a Condor Alert.
Anyone have any experience with these models?
Are TOPS knives worth the $$$$?

Is 1095 steel that good?

Thanks in advance.
 
I own about 6 TOPS knives and every one is really well made. Some folks have posted that they thought the prices were a bit high for 1095 steel. I find them to be well worth the money and they are razor sharp and very strong. If you buy one, don't be afraid to use it. They are tough.

If you order or communicate with the company, do so via the phone, not the internet. Mike and Helen are great people and will give you wonderful customer service.
 
Jay,
Thanks for the info.

Which ones do you own? Which ones are your favorites/would you recommend?
 
Matt,

I own the following TOPS knives. As I am a biker I am asking for trouble if I carry any fixed blade with more than a 4" blade. That alone narrows my choices a bit.

a) Magnum folder: I love this knife. It is big and tough. It is my favorite TOPS blade. Really built like a tank.

b) CAT #203: I like this for inverted carry. Feels good in the hand.

c) Scalpel with Micarta handle: I like it because it is really different. Small knife with 1/4" steel. Good pry bar.

d) Wolf Pup: This is my least favorite. For some reason I don't wear it much. Kind of short and stubby.

Guess I miscounted. I only have 4. I am thinking about getting a Skinat. Looks cool.

Hope this helps
