- TOPS knives has long been regarded by elite law enforcement, military, martial arts, and outdoor professionals as being some of the best knives money can buy, and certainly the best when it comes to "production" knives. They go a huge leap forward beyond what other companies will do to create rugged, dependable, and beautiful knives you can count on.

TOPS has already slid into first place as my favorite knife brand.
*thumbs up*
I now have a new found respect for TOPS Knives. I love seeing a company that still does things by hand. It makes me much more willing to spend the extra cash knowing that someone put their time and care into the product. Its also nice knowing that the extra cash spent is helping to keep a man or women employed instead of a computer and machine taking their job.
*thumbs up*
respect level just went through the roof, guess what company i will be purchasing a knife from next....Tops!
Carravagio16 hell yeah🔪🔪🇺🇸🇺🇸
*thumbs up* mericaaaaa
Extrema ratio,is logic.
I gained a lot of respect for Tops knives after watching this video !
*thumbs up*
The work Tops does looks incredible! So much handwork... Explains why everyone I know who owns a top knife is completely satisfied.
They are amazing there, professional and personally
I never know they were a small shop and a lot of hand building . Nice to see american workers making knifes. This is why I like TOPS. Thanks for the tour.

Real craftsmanship+quality. Way to go TOPS.
*thumbs up*
Outstanding video.
didn't realize that tops is practically a family operation
+Josh Anonymous They are cool like that :)
I love Topsknives! I got a Steel Eagle with all the possible perks on it, camo, serrations, saw back, and rocky mountain tread: one of my prized possessions. I got a copy of one of their daggers to test the toughness, and I have tortured that thing and it is still alive. The coating will smooth out after pretty extensive use.
*thumbs up*
Thanks for the tour! Makes me appreciate my TOPS Tracker even more.
After this video my opinion about TOPS knives changed from good quality tools to great quality tools - love to see CNC and skilled hand work go together.
Thanks and have a great day!
Glad you liked the video and I could shed light on your about TOPS ! Hope you got a few more knives from them
I bought a tahoma field knife last year. took it out when getting ready for deer season, beat the heck out of it, chopping trees, brush etc. i found it to be just as good if not better than a hatchet. all it took was a few strokes on the stroping belt on my belt sander and it was shave sharp again love it
Ahhh love to hear that about your TFK *thumbs up* *thumbs up*
Thank you for making vids that I watch to the end.
Thanks for watching them till the end! Helps the video get out to more people when you like n share.
After much research I asked Santa and got a Tops B.O.B KNIFE for Christmas. OUTSTANDING knife. The only one I carry now. Thanks Andy and InnerBark Outdoors for the video. I now have even a greater appreciation for the TOPS Knife Company. Idaho knife for life!
Ahhh hope you still rolling with TOPS thanks!
Tops is my favorite knife, i just bought the Operator Seven, and the Silent Hero, i did not know the knife is almost hand made. Really enjoyed this video.
They are badass! Glad you enjoyed
Excellent video. Really eye-opening in a very good way. I've had the pleasure of meeting Leo, Oscar, and Chris, but I didn't realize how hands-on they all are in the process of producing the knives. The small, attentive, family-based and family-like nature of the company makes me respect them even more.
Glad you liked it. Makes me happy to know I'm showing people how amazing they are
Great video. I bought a Tom Brown Scout awhile ago and that knife is still as good now as it was when new. Loved seeing the process. Before becoming a IT nerd I was a machinist and can appreciate the work and quality I see in this video. Very nice. I don't know which one it will be but my next knife will be a Tops!
TREX3151 The Tahoma field knife is always a good bet ;)
Great video - TOPS is definitely going to be my next purchase. Amazing detail coming from a small, AMERICAN company!
*thumbs up*
I own quite a few Tops knives and you can't beat the quality which makes the price easier to understand.
*thumbs up* *thumbs up*
I met Mike Fuller about 14 years ago in Reno Nevada. He was very inspirational. The Sparrow Hawk I bought from him. Probably had a handle shaped by Benny. Thank you for filming and posting this.
Mike is amazing!
I absolutely love this video! I can't wait to get my hands on a tahoma field knife and a brothers of bushcraft now. Thanks man!
The TFK and the BOB seem to be pretty popular these days. Thanks for watching!
As a knife collector I have lots of knives. But my Surv TAC 5 and 7 as well as my Tahoma and B.O.B are absolutely outstanding. Thank you Tops for that fine pieces of art.
*thumbs up* *thumbs up*
All I can say is... Wow! I have a new respect and appreciation for Tops as a whole and it make me like my CSAR-T all that much the more. I'm going to be looking at them again with different eyes. Thanks for the vid! A real eye opener...
Glad I could shed some light
That was a great video tour Andy. Thanks for making it! Now I need to go fondle my Tahoma.
Hope you are still fondeling your TFK ;)
Awesome video. I got my first 2 Tops knives at the 2014 Blade show and I'm very impressed. After watching this video and the work that goes into making a Tops knife, I'm even happier with my purchase.
Most folks are just happy with how they perform, but are blown away by the handcrafted quality.
Wow, all that work done by hand. I have a new appreciation for TOPS.
Truly amazing!
Great vid!! when I received my TFK, the first thing I inspected was the edge. I could tell it was not done by a machine and it was perfect. nice to see the craftsmanship put into such a wonderful knife.
So glad you were happy with it!
Wow what an awesome place, after seeing the hard work and attention to detail TOPS puts into their products it just makes me love and appreciate my Tahoma even more!
Its truly amazing what they do there!
Great video! I always wondered how they make there knives so sharp and perfectly made.
Lots of QC and TLC
This is one sexy video Andy. Its nice to see all the hard work everyone at TOPS does. Leo is prolly my favorite knife designer. He has great designs and he's Latino lol. This video makes me proud to be a TOPS knife owner. Thanks for all your hard work Andy.
Thanks! It's jaw dropping stuff. The guys n gals at TOPS really make it all come together.
Amazing .... you really get to appreciate the price point of these knives after the amount of care and attention to detail they go through during the many processes; clearly they are worth every penny!
That's the whole point of this video :) Thanks for watching!
Great vid. I have two Tops knives and had no idea how much hands-on crafting went into them. I definitely believe Tops is worth every penny now. Thanks again for the video.
Thanks for watching Mark. Hope you have a few more you added to your collection
Great video and what a fantastic American company, I had to break out my TOPS Wild Pig Hunter Blackout Edition while watching and now I appreciate it even more and that says a lot.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Andy; thank you very much for uploading this vid; and thanks goes to Tops for allowing you to film the tour.
*thumbs up*
Wonderful to see Americans making American products that are sold to Americans!!! I support TOPS because of that fact!!!!!
Out freakin standing dude!
*thumbs up*
Great video. I recently purchased a Tops Silent Hero. It is by far the best fixed blade I have ever owned. It was really nice seeing the factory tour of the Tops facility and how they create these beautiful knives.
Hope you got your hands on a few more tops!
Nice video, i used to think that these knives were expensive for production knives but thanks to your video i see alot of care is being put in these knives. the day will come i ll buy myself this beautiful mocassin ranger knife. again Very nice factory tour video.
Everyone of them are touched and it really shows! *thumbs up*
One of your best videos yet! I loved watching this.
Ahh loved that loved this
Don't know how many times I've watched this video but I'm glad you took the time to make it and glad Tops allowed you in to see the magic.
Thanks zook!!
I love my T.F.K, thanks Andy! And thanks for the tour of the Tops workshop, love your work brother!
*thumbs up*
Wow~ I didn't realize that how much craftsmanship involve to make a knife. I'm beginning to think that my BOB knife is a bargain. And the Tahoma knife isn't expensive after all. Thanks for the awesome vid. Andy!
It's hard to explain to people without showing them why they cost what they do. I was very fortunate to get the opportunity to go and visit.

If you ever do a Tahoma Field Knife Collectors Edition that's lazer etched with the signatures of yourself and the Tops Craftsmen who make them......SELL ME ONE WITH LOW SERIAL NUMBERS! Hey, I thought of it first....
These, in low production volumes, will be serious collectables.
*****
I might do special editions for raffle knives for non profits. Stay tuned.
The heat treatment and handle guy is such a pro, kudos to that guy!
*thumbs up*
No wonder their heat treatment rocks...perfected by experience and intuition!
*thumbs up*
You can’t be serious. I mean this is satire of some kind, right?
Absolutely awesome. I love your Tahoma Field Knife design. It is not only a functional design, but positively gorgeous. I can't wait until I can scrape up enough money to get one. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! You'll really dog the knife once you get it in hand :)
Awesome vid! Well edited and very informative. I won't be wasting my money on cheaper knives when I see the craftsmanship that goes into these knives!
*thumbs up*
I love the "how it's made" videos, especially knives! Have the Tex Creek...now it's just a little more special. Thanks for video!!
*thumbs up*
Fantastic video Andy. Makes you appreciate Tops Knives that much more.

Not many of those companies around - so mad respect to them. They are awesome!
Much more hands on than I would've expected.
*thumbs up*
Wow Andy I had no idea how much manual labour Tops knives pour into their production. How perfectly oldskool. Of course aided by the tech for repeatability. Very impressive.
Amazing hardworking company

That's awesome! Love to see that the things that should be done by hand are still done that way. But the things that can be done by a router or milling machine can be done that way as well! I'm about to buy their 107d Dealta Class!
Thanks Hayden
Now that sells knifes! !
Awesome vid Andy!
Tops has been on my list but this nails it!
Cheers!
*thumbs up*
Wow! That’s all I can say I was thinking some over priced mass produced Chinese operation but what I have seen is hard working Americans who are dedicated to the product I never could pull the trigger on buying a tops knife but after seeing this I’ll be ordering one here shortly, they put so much attention to each knife and I get to support an American company!
Glad the video shed light on the TOPS guys/gals! It's an awesome company to support!
Really !! Enjoyed it more if possible please.
Perhaps on my next visit
Great video! I have a couple Essee knives but they play second string to my Tops BOB. The TFK is def on my Father's Day wish list.
Neck Ties are an insult. Knives are where it's at :)
Just love to see quality craftsmanship!
*thumbs up*
Awesome, thanks Andy!

i’m convinced! i’ll buy the wild pig hunter next week.
cheers from Australia!

InnerBark Outdoors Got the .170 machete, love the handle. This will travel with me on my sailboat while exploring beaches, it will come in handy to cut small brushes for fires on the beach and opening up coconuts.
Awesome video man. Thanks! Just ordered the Bob and I can’t wait for it to get here in Japan!!
Hope you enjoy it!
