  • Growing from a group of a few friends who wanted to make quality knives for United States military members, Tops Knives in Ucon is now producing thousands of knives a year in hundreds of different models. Tops Knives general manager Craig Powell took EastIdahoNews.com reporter Mike Price on a tour of the facilities where the knives are produced.

    I wish everything was made with the quality of TOPS Knives. I own two and want many more.If nothing else they will be passed on to the grandchildren.

    TOPS started out with a good plan and it’s only gotten better over time.

    I have more Tops knives than any other brand except Victorinox. It's just all the cool knife designs that Tops produces are very appealing. I've always felt very confident with their knives, the function, quality and design really keeps me coming back to the brand. Definitely my favorites of all time.

    My favourite knife brand by far, I have 8 at the moment but have loads more on my wish list. Top quality, fit and finish is superb and very functional. I live in the UK so there are a couple of drawbacks. Knife laws in the UK are very strict so some of the names on the blades are a no go. Also the prices here are much higher than the USA. The Tracker 4 for example was available in the US for $90 but was £150 here so double the price. UK knife retailer’s must be making a huge profit.

    TOPS Knives is one of the very best knives you can get anywhere for your money. Even at full MSRP, you would be purchasing a multi-generational knife for a fair price. Tough as woodpecker lips, made to last.

    There heat treat is impressive.
    A TH-cam channel that tests knives, many with far more advanced steels, got zero edge damage after chopping bone.
    Not a lot of edges can take that and slice paper.
    They have really improved from being known for sharp pry bars. They hot rid of that awful coating and introduced more models that actually cut with better edge geometry. Still have some crazy ass designs though.

    I love Tops ,in less than a year I own 12 ,my only 2 questions are why no box? I collect these and received 1 in a flimsy box,more importantly and I'm not alone ,you offer kydex sheath's with some of your products but my favorites War,Apache Dawn Rockies edition, Zero Dark 30,and Silent Hero,plus more don't want to overload,for what those nylon sheath's cost ,using kydex instead couldn't be a significant difference which a lot of us would be happy to pay a little more,going aftermarket can be very expensive and not always fit like a factory one,I am gonna keep buying more as I get rid of other non Tops,but I hope someone at Tops considers boxing instead of a bag,A $180/$200 plus knife should have a decent box and at least the option to pay extra for a kydex sheath,half of mine came with kydex so why do the rest not? Then we customers spend a lot on kydex when I'd rather buy more of your amazing knives, sincerely, Michael Cohen

    Want to get an Operator 7, but it comes with a dangler sheath and that's a deal breaker for me. I want a kydex, or better yet a kydex with a soft nylon sheathed with Molle straps with "pull a dot" snap button instead of those cheap velcro straps that wear out with time.

    • @michaelcohen9740
      @michaelcohen9740 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The Operator comes with a nice kydex sheath,2 choices,i chose the belt clip since I don't wear belts often the dangler is for a belt and looks good, problem is since I got mine I can't find another one in stock at the usual places ,good luck great knife over a third of an inch thick!!

    I wear an XXXL size glove, so I don't think it's going to fit me well. That and for 200, you gotta give me something a little better than 1095. It's one of the cheapest steels to make a knife from.

      Was it sharp when you purchased it?

      Sounds like you got a counterfeit. There was a lot of Chinese knock-offs going around about eight years ago.
      Curious where you bought your knife... because no knives go out of their factory without a razor edge.
