Tops Knives

This is the strongest (thickest) knife we've ever made. The strength of this 3/8" thick piece of 5160 spring steel is impressive. It has a full handle, covered in tan burlap Micarta grips.

As the name suggests, the 'Lil Roughneck' is very similar to the tough dudes who do the hard, heavy work of oil rigs. The term Roughneck is now a commonly known term associated with rough and tough guys.

Roughnecks are strong-willed, hardworking, and keep on 'hanging in'. With that in mind... this is definitely a special knife for a special boy.

The M-PAT was created by U.S. military service member Seth Brown and was designed specifically for fighter jet crews. Its slim profile and sturdy size are designed it specifically so that it can be carried on the safety vest or otherwise at the top of the torso in order to cause as little discomfort as possible while in the flight deck. It is ideal for vertical carrying and, thanks to the two retention modes of the sheath, it will not go anywhere until you need it. The M-PAT's applications extend outside the cockpit and it is perfectly suited to a belt or tactical vest. It is always handy when you need it and out of the way when you don't. When you only have room for one knife for self-defense and survival, there's the M-PAT.

The original purpose of the Silent Hero knife was to provide a medium-sized tool for use by an interdiction unit specializing in fighting rhino poachers in Africa. It is an excellent design that has served many people on different continents. Over time, Anton (the designer) realized that he did not always need such a large knife strapped to his hip.

This is where the Silent Hero 4 was born. The handle and blade shape of the full-sized knife were perfect for a variety of tasks. By reducing them, you get a knife that is much easier to carry as an EDC, but still long enough to handle most cutting tasks. The appearance of this smaller version is basically the same, but there are some differences. The blade is a bit thinner, the finish is Sniper Gray Cerakote (instead of Black River Wash) and it comes with a Kydex sheath instead of leather. So if you are looking for a blade to match your Silent Hero or simply prefer a blade length of about 4" instead of 6", the new Silent Hero 4 will be an excellent addition to your collection!

The Rocky Mountain Spike is the result of several months of testing and fine-tuning in the field. The original design was to flank or add a large knife, such as a TOPS Machete or Power Eagle, to offer the user a variety of other applications on smaller projects. The size and steel mass of large knives certainly have their place. However, every once in a while a situation arises where one wishes to have a smaller knife, and particularly one with a narrow blade.

After using and abusing the prototypes in the field, those who have tested the small Rocky Mountain have seen a wide variety of cutting, scraping, splitting, EDC, and separating tasks for which this tool can be used effectively.

We now believe that the Rocky Mountain Spike is an excellent stand-alone toolfor hikers, bikers, campers, boaters, weekend outdoor enthusiasts, and long trips. It can be worn on your belt or kept in your backpack, boot or any other convenient place. Whether it is for general outdoor activities, at work or at home, this is the tool for you.

The C.U.B. (Compact Utility Blade) is designed to serve as a compact and lightweight sidekick to a machete/bolo/parang in a tropical environment or of a tomahawk/axe in a forest environment. It is capable of performing all the important utility functions for camp and food preparation, leaving the heavy lifting to the other cutting tools. With an emphasis on compactness, the C.U.B. was designed with two styles of knives in mind: the Finish Puukko (with scandi sharpening) and the Kephart. Put them in a blender and you get the C.U.B.

The Silent Hero was designed by Anton Du Plessis, who is the Chief of Operations for the Specialized Interdiction Unit of the Silent Heroes Foundation. His task is to combat the poaching crisis in South Africa. This knife has to be durable, versatile, and able to fill Anton's needs in the field, which affected the design of the blade and the handle. It will definitely hold up to hard use. And with a weight of only 12 oz, you'll be able to use the knife without getting fatigued too quickly.

There is a lanyard hole in the handle along with another in the finger guard. This is meant to allow the user to add a safety cord in order to improve the grip on the handle, which already allows for a solid grip. The finger-guard hole can also be used to assist in lashing to a spear when the situation warrants it.

There is a finger choil up into the blade to give you the ability to choke up and execute precise, fine cuts. The drop point design makes this knife great for slicing and gives the tip extra strength. So this knife will be a great knife for bushcraft, survival, and tactical purposes.

The black leather sheath is durable and looks great paired with this knife. The Silent Hero is held in place with a single snap loop that curls around the finger guard.

The Silent Hero is a great design and a very versatile blade. It is large enough that it can be used to chop, but is also still small enough to complete most of the tasks you can do or want to do with a smaller knife.

TOPS Knives is a proud supporter and Corporate Sponsor of the Silent Heroes Foundation.
