i bought this knife 6 years ago. I was able to use it for about 3 months. That was 6 camping trips. Loved every minute of it. Until the plastic buckle broke. It kept falling out of the sheath everytime i would sit on the ground. I had to put it away in fear of loosing it out in the forest. Went with an Esee 6 instead. Mainly due to the thickness and kydex sheath. 5 years later, and earlier this year i cut the rest of the buckle off and used a stainless steel ring i found at a hardware store to loop the strap around the ring to lock it with the velcro. Tops, you guys make great knives but you have to give us the option for kydex sheath.
Holy smokes!!!! Looks like the perfect blend of outdoor and EDC! Been carrying the WTG Mt. Laguna but love my bruiser Tops knives! Might have to give this one a go!!!!
I bought one ten years ago. Loved it! I got a kydex sheath and carried it as a boot knife. Then my oldest boy saw it and loved it, so I gave it to him. He still has it today.
Awesome format but lacks a little guard to be really secure. I love the fact that you are slowly upgrading most of your knives to kydex. I hope that someday they will get sold separately. Greetings from Belgium
Had one with the red liners and absolutely loved it. Great li'l fixed for edc, probably the best in hand feel for me personally and the clipped sheath was perfect for carrying in the front pocket. A buddy was without a knife though and hate to see anyone without a blade so, gave it to him as a "happy thursday" gift and he has put it through the ringer since and it still holds up.
I have both of these offerings!! The brown with full sawback and Black without. I wear mine in the front tucked in my pants near belt buckle. IMO it shines as an ice pick grip with thump over the back of handle!! Beautiful knives💪👍
It definitely looks badass, but for most of us, it’s not the most practical choice. What is the thinking behind the big step in at the top of the blade? It’s dagger-like design makes me think it’s best suited to be used as a self defence or military tool.
Man as I have said before, you guys are fucking rock stars. Love to come work for Tops. Iam a sales rep. Would sell my house here in AZ and move to Idaho
that ledge on the sides of the blade highly limits its practical use. If it wasn't for that, you would have one of the best blades of its size out there!!

Looks like a thick scalpel...I like it
Stop making me buy knives 😢
I love the thickness to blade width ratio. Very, very nice.
It’s kinda like if Arnold Schwarzenegger was an ice pick! 👍🏼👍🏼

BEAST! 🔥
I just want one with a hilt or at least a finger guard. Maybe thin it out as far as blade thickness to 1/5th or 3/16ths of an inch.
Then you should check out TOPS Lion Toothpick...
Seems like a good boot knife. Never used it, don’t actually have any TOPS knives, but I want one. The Yacare seems right up my alley
For my tastes, maybe a longer finger guard and some taper to the front of the scales for pinch grips. Looks great! 🤙🏼
One of my best knives. I am a big guy so it fits in my pocket. I love it.
Definitely a top pick for a backup knife.
I want one
Overbuilt greatness !!!!! 👊👊
I found it very difficult to sharpen unfortunately
Nice, give me one and I'll test it for ya.
TOPS KNIVES one life one knife
Ok let me say this is awesome and would be a lot of fun to test. What a cool design. Tops did it again. 🔥🔪
I'd say too thick for a toothpick.
What a great knife
Been looking at that one too... All TOPS Knives serve a purpose, which one will you need?

Thank you for your support!
Im not a huge fan of the shouldered blades like the bootlegger and the street scalpels.
Bad ass

Too expensive lol
Its too thick for my taste
I wish it was thicker lol jk 🔥🔥
