I own the TAC1 folder I bought off ebay a sevaeral months ago. American made, 154CM liner lock folder. A very very nice knife I bought for less than 40 bucks nib off ebay. Haven't carried it much though just cause I carry EKI's as an edc for the most part.
Now today I am on the throne and looking at Blade mag., can't remember the month and I happen to look at the ad for the TOPS 304 gentlemans tactical. Guess what, one in the same folder. The TOPS version has a couple of more cutouts on the g10 grips and frame to reduce wieght for carry I think. Don't know whether that is necessary or not as it ain't a heavy folder to begin with.
I guess I am just kind of shocked that one copies the other to a "T". Well not shocked just surprised really. This is a Kit Rae design as is my understanding from an article in one of the knife rags I was looking at in B&N with son one day. Anyone know any thing about the knife and design etc.? thanks and keepem sharp
