Tops always brings some good knives with good stories. They’re not always for me, but I’m glad they exist.
I am sad they stick to 1095 when there are lot of better steels, for simmilar amount of money
That little carving knife just went to the top of my fixed blade list. Literally the last 2 months been looking for a dedicated wood carving/ whittling fixed blade.
Excellent lineup!!! The Gladius BEGS for a kydex multi-position sheath. For me, danglers are for woods knives, not tacticals.
Yeah that is 100% true the dangler doesn't make sense
I think the sheath choice is to keep it “historically similar” to a gladius that were used in Rome, but I totally agree
TOPS is getting elaborate over the last years. Has not been exactly my style of knives. But I more and more find models that appeal to me. Especially the smaller practical edc capable stuff. Great stories behind, as was posted already. ❤
That woods nymph is going to be the hottest pocket fixed-blade of 2023
Always keen on seeing new stuff from tops and that folder might have to be added to my edc when it comes out
I really enjoyed the stories to the blades that were created. New to collecting knives and I like this company, Tops! Great content! Thank you, KnifeCenter!
Great knives with great stories. I love TOPS.
I've always loved TOPS. Yes they are getting very $$$ but I have 4 of their fixed blades and use the heck out of them with no problems. Some good knives on the table with some interesting backstories. Personally keen to see how the ERSK turns out. Sharp blades all.
Hmm couple of nice designs, actually really like the more simple designs. Love smaller fixed blades, going to have to pick a few of these up this year!
Hope to see that Woodscraft before June. Tops had it on the table LAST Shot Show. Heck. They even posted a video of a row of them getting final edges. I guess all good things come to those who wait.
12:41 I really like this one! So handy!
Nice fixed blades ,the clip point flipper last knife he shows is really cool
I hope Tops reads this: You REALLY need to incorporate AEB-L and/or 14C28N as your stainless steels. Preferably AEB-L, because with the correct heat treat, AEB-L can be right up at the top of the list with CPM-3V for the toughest steel that will still hold an edge. H1 or LC200 (also known as Z-FiNit) are close to un-rustable, but neither holds a great edge. AEB-L, according to Larrin at Knife Steel Nerds can have toughness equivalent to 3V, which is mind blowing.
I've been looking for the 105 steel eagle for more then a few months now thinking it was released lol. I absolutely love it, I have several Tops, Skullcrusher, Operator 7, couple of Police Interceptor tantos I love, little bugger, Blue otter and the Top/Fox collaboration 4.5 inch tanto folder. Love my Tops knives!
also i loved hearing the random guy they got to work the booth trying to explain RGEI
Getting the woodcraft as a gift for my nephew. Super excited.
The gladius looks so sweet, I'm surely going to get one! Thanks TOPS!
Any hints on the release of the wood nymph?
The woods nymph is very close to the condor wood wise lmao
... which I m okay w. Because I love mine and condor discontinued them
Really into those 2 little fixed blades
Thank-you DCA, and thank you Tops knives
I wonder if Edd Caldorone trained with Scott Babb from Libre Fighting? That notch in the handle is how Libre fighting shows you how to adapt a paring knife from the kitchen into a pikal for fighting.
i did not expect ed’s designs to work with TOPS’ “pry bar with an edge” style of knifemaking
That ERSK is glorious!!!!!!!! When will that be available?!?!?!? Heat treated 90° spine!!!!!!!! The simplicity of if is awesome. True bushcraft knife!!!!!
Love that Kephart style knife
Good show DCA...reviewing with TOPS like a boss.....😎
I'm definitely interested in that new folder. The Scandi version wasn't my thing, but the clip point caught my eye.
The stories behind the designs are very interesting... Excellent interview!!
Suggestion to pass on to Tops for the dive knives: instead of G10, swap to Ultrex Suretouch as it's basically the same material, just adds that rubberised layer for even further traction.
I thought of Ed Calderón when I saw that little blade. Awesome
Good stuff coming along this year!
Ed is the reason I started carrying TOPS to be completely honest. For the sake of brevity, he and I (amongst many others) have spent a significant amount of time working together. He is most definitely the self proclaimed undisputed leader of turning your everyday household items into someone’s worst nightmare. Be well everyone 🙏🇺🇸
That Woodcraft is just gorgeous
When is that ERSK coming out? Hopefully soon
Really good presentation. Liking those blades.
I own the Steel Eagle 107C. Went out into the forest to have a little fire and some steaks with a friend. At some point I just ditched the saw and hatchet and used my beast of a knife 🙂
I really hope they use a stain proof steel like h1 or vanax for the dive knives
A lot of good stuff right there
The Spirit Hunter looks like our mod Browning, that recurve is magic when put to work. Another one on the shopping list.!
That gladius is a must have. Self defense for sure
I like the divers knife with the pry tip
Can’t wait for the Armado 6.5 to come out 😍😍😍😍
That Marble's knife is the one
I really like this lineup....especially the first 8 or so. Super interesting.
Great jobs 👌 👏 👍 you guys did a great job bringing us along to shot show!!!!!!! Us being the one's that didn't actually go!!!! Lol
Cool lineup. I would like to see the MPAT but with an option for the Rocky Mountain thicker handle scales.
Topps for president
Love bushcraft kelso so glad you made a knife with him
I’ve been waiting impatiently for the pionero…that’s a definite buy for me.
I have an old kinsfolk knife that looks exactly like that.
I wish they would develop another pocket knife with buck. Had my favorite over build flipper
but the gladius has been there since last year and it has not yet gone into production, I am still waiting for it
They changed their finish on the classic Steel Eagle and others, not a fan. The ole acid rain finish was so perfect, it revealed the heat treat along the edge. Now, it’s hard to know if the edge is heat treated or not.
love elmax, can't wait for the folder
Please put a Kydex sheath with a fire steel on that ERSK!!!!!! I want that!!!!!!!!
the Dive knives would be dope in MagnaCut. That said id also like to see it in 154cm to meet a lower price point
Dayum, those are some real gripplers!
LC200N or Magnacut for the dive knife would be sweet.
I’m sorry but with designs and prices like these there’s NO reason to drop 300-500 on a shiny benchmade anymore
Tops = Great job!
I like a lot of TOPS stuff but some of their models are too thick to be functional cutters. Any design that I like by TOPS I always check the spec for the knife's thickness.
24:50.5
Tops make some excellent knives, they can take a beating & keep going. I wish they could launch a Silent Hero XL, with a longer & thicker blade as most of the trees in my area are thick, hardwood which the OG Silent Hero struggles with.
Love TOPS. Have 27 models.
Why are there offerings from last year's Shot Show (which I was really excited to buy) that never came to fruition?
I love TOPS ! Only complaint is I love to use their knives at work to cut meat and none of them come with a polish finish , the stone wash or whatever finish they have on EVERYTHING does not allow the blade to glide through flesh proper .
And TOPS please PLEASE 🙏 make a wharncliffe version of the street scalpel 2!!!!
Looks awesome
I like the handle on the snake river rescue. Too bad it has a dive blade
loving the look of that pionero.
I actually designed a knife that is very similar to the sidekick a couple years ago for an australian guy, hook, serrations and everything, he wanted me to mimic a shark
I Have been bugging Craig for over a Year on the 105E Release it already!! I need one!!! LOL
That Gladius would be really sick if it came with a really nice leather Dangler, or some kind of other sheath besides Kydex. I really like it but I would have to set it up with the leather sheath somehow. It’s just so much easier to jump into a purchase want it already comes with a really nice sheath.
Tops isn’t the company for you then. Their sheaths are always ’meh’ at best.
@@requiscatinpace7392 I know and that’s how they keep the prices really reasonable which I appreciate. It would just be so sick to have that thing in a really nice leather dangler and if I hunt around enough, I could find one that fits perfectly but I’ll probably have to drop another 50 bucks at least.
In my opinion kydex is way better than leather
Gladius dagger, just what my motorcycle boot needs... I think. Maybe. Maybe not, but still.
Still can't get tops knives that dropped YEARS ago.🤣
I like tops but their prices are a bit ridiculous here.
I can literally get custom equivalents in virtually any steel & handle material I want for the same price (or less)
Went with a Dulo puukko in vanadid 4e at 63hrc & carbon fiber handle over the tops brakimo (1095 & micarta) that I wanted & could get hold of for like 2 years.
Dulo was €220
Tops Brakimo is €230
Dude almost lost it when he said, it has girth or a nice meaty grip, lmao
Now that makes good CommonCents!
DCA… didn’t they show the Woodcraft at Shot Show last year? I’m pretty sure they did. Is it real this year? I can’t wait. I have several original Marbles and it is a classic piece… live the style. Any idea when?
Your memory serves you well. The did show the Woodscraft last year at Shot Show. Tops also posted a video two months ago showing them putting edges on the blades. Tops is saying first quarter of this year. We’ll see.

Been waiting for a new TOPS lineup.✝️👍🏻
BRO.... Ed Calderon is a f**king LEGEND. He cut his teeth hunting cartel hitmen.
He's up there with Massad Ayoob
When Ed speaks you listen!
One of the guys I wheel with does under cover work, and he carries a small knife that reminds me of half a pair of scissors.
that papa delta is exactly what im looking fo....... oh its double sided nvr mind.
Tops make a lot of great looking knives but I don’t wan to buy knives that are in 1095 any more I wish they start making more premium steeled knives...
A bit kitch with the bill boarding on the first blades. Let the knives speak for them selves, they're good for it.
25:05 as an Irish man born in Texas , I must take exception to that statement. there are NO gentlemen from Ireland !
Please start making knives with a dual compound rubber grip and rubber finger stop. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Someone says Tops knives and my first thought is bomb proof quality.
This went away in the middle of watching last night.
Really disappointed in the final version of the Woodcraft. The original prototype didn’t have the dark blade finish and dark micarta. Cool design, but swing and a miss on the blade/handle combo. Only took 3+ years too…
Woodcraft and el pionero will be coming home with me….
Tops needs to switch to 1084 or 5160 for their bigger blades, 1095 just isn't tough enough for the them hatchet-like knives...
The back of the dive knife is for banging tanks as a signal 🐸
12:39 is "el pionero"
Maaaan you guys got to make a 1\1 size gladius. It would sell like hotcakes brother
I was scared when the video was randomly removed while watching it, thanks for the coverage! Really excited for that woodcraft!!
Edit: Any chances the Storm Vector will be restocked at some point? My buddy got one and brought it to our last camping trip to show off it's chopping prowess, really interesting piece but I can't find it anywhere!
Happened to me too and brought to my attention that TH-cam removed watch history from the android app
... And it's back. Without me so much as closing the app
De glove my finger... what a mental picture that is.
Tops,is,tops,1
I see a Chris Tanner knock-off with the one the wife "designed".
And again this is just my opinion!!!!! But I much MUCH more prefer tops knives with out the saw on the top of the spine!!! At least on the smaller models!!!!!! just a concerned citizen!
Go check out Bark River JX6 by Tanner. Better made with better steel.
