I just got one. It's great. Now I won't need a saw, machete, axe, knife etc. Just this knife will do everything if you use it correctly! It's a true survival knife in every way.
I got this baby coming. I cant wait! U should seen the smile on my face an felt the butterfly goosebumps I got when I took my op 7 outa the sheath for the first time. No knife company has EVER done this for me. I'm an addict now . A tops addict. I may go homeless.. But I will be the alpha homeless tribe leader 8D
I have had this for about 7 years and I'm not an outdoor guy. I keep it under thr rear sear compartment in my truck along with folding shovel, tomahawk, space blanket, and other survival tools. I love the size, the bombproof construction, the thick indestructible blade. The only thing i donr like is the nylon sheath. It had two velcro strap and the lower strap does not fit properly. It closes over the finger separation instead of on the groove itself. So I took it to a buddy who works leather to have him pull the stiches and re stitch the velcro so it fits and closes in th4 finger groove. I woukd rather have a snap button closure instead of velcro thst wears out. But otherwise I love this knife. Large enough to be a bushcraft, camp chore knife. Can chop, slash. Stab, saw. Thick enough to pry. Solid.
Thanks for this review! Well said! I have the Steal Eagle 105 and it’s my EDC. It’s big for an EDC, but hey to each their own. It’s perfect! I have been looking at the Delta Class for sometime and I’m going to order one. Another knife I came across the other day was the Spartan Horkos, might get that too.
@@rainsong7327 no I havent but I feel its too large in my opinion. I gutted a few this year butbwith smaller knives. The risk of hittimg the organs etc isnt worth it to me. I use a smaller knife sand midsize knife. Buck112 and this yeah schrade older skinning knife.
@@rainsong7327 haha you can do Im 100% sure it will do the job. I have gutted most deer with a Buck Nighthawk, check that out. Still large but not too big.
I just bought one today. It has the new bronze coating on it for $180 from tops booth at the NRA in Indianapolis 4-2003 feels fantastic in the hand I too am left-handed but I don’t mind carrying it on my right side and just transferring it to my left
Nice review, iv been meaning to watch more of your videos. Some reason that knife reminds me of Swamp People’s Troy. I can just see him saying something like “ Whoooo eeee now dat dar knife is for killin gators, choot em Lizabeth, choot em, before i gotta use my knife. “
So i want to know what is the exact thickness of this blade on mm ?? I don't know why, but it seams like being a slightly less than 1/4 (6.35mm) thick!!!
TOPS KNIVES THE STEEL IS INCREDIBLE! AMAZING! BUT THE HANDLE SUCKS THE GIMPING ON THE TOP MIDDLE PART OF THE HANDLE HURTS THE PALM OF YOUR HAND UNLESS YOUR WEARING GLOVES ! TOPS KNIVES NEED TO FIX THAT !!
I just designed perfect knife for survival and I just saw Steel Eagle and Tahoma and it's just about the same idea. As for your 1943 kabar, please realize that kabar was for military fighting and use, not survival in forest, chopping wood, making fire, shelter and fighting off bears. I have designs for best line of survival knives. I can explain and prove superiority to my designs. Down to details. E.g Steel Eagle has blood groove. For what? weakens the overall strength of blade, for microscopic saving in weight? It's not a sabre! Serration Always, always improves cutting. Because it lenghtens the cutting line! What shape of serration? I would have to give a presentation on this. I"m looking for investor. Not much to start. Just ability to produce knives according to drawing and specs. 1095 steel.

Tops is reasonably priced depending who you buy through. Its a good hear treat and full tang.

Not a bad price for a knife of this quality though. Especially one made in the USA.
you think it should be blued?
So i want to know what is the exact thickness of this blade on mm ??
I don't know why, but it seams like being a slightly less than 1/4 (6.35mm) thick!!!
