I have a couple dozen fixed blades, but my HOG 4.5 is one of my favorites. The HOG is one of two knives in my EDC rotation, the other being a Bradford Guardian that cost twice as much, but still doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies quite like the Tops. I like clean, organic lines, and it was the fun tional anesthetics that first drew me to the HOG 4.5. But it was the comfort and balance that won me over. From the first time I held this knife, I knew it was a keeper. You can definitely tell Gunny Williams did due diligence with the handle design. I have larger than average hands, but the handle fits me as well as it fits my wife, a foot shorter and half my weight. It looks as good as it feels. It does every knife chore I've ever asked of it from field dressing an elk to cutting my fingernails. It is functional and comfortable. I love this knife.
I had a notification that you replied to my comment, but when I followed it back here my comment was gone. RUclips is getting pretty glitchy, Thank you for the review, this truly is my most refined blade design that I have.
Yes I wouldn't be surprised if they deleted it. There may have been something they didn't like🤦♂️. Thank you for all your hard work designing such a great blade!
Made in Idaho, like me. Designer trained in Norway, as did I. A tough slicer to compliment my scandi grinds. Perfect. 🇺🇲☠️🇸🇯

A very well balanced knife for all task. The handle stands out for comfort. Thanks for the review.
I agree 👍🏻 thanks for watching!
Another excellent knife from TOPS 🤩🥳
Indeed!
Gotta love a Tops
I definitely like that. Topps is great I wished they'd have more of a variety in scout carry.
