I have one it’s one of my absolute favorites in the collection it’s a really fast knife it goes where you point it it’s quite large but moves like a smaller knife
I ordered one directly from Tops. They give you an option to have the top swedge sharpened for an additional $5.00 charge. Why not ? Better for making "back cuts" . One of James Keatings favorite techniques.
Great review, man. I’d love to see the Tops Desert Nomad in your hands to see how it compares to this one. Cheers, and keep bringing that great content we love to see.
Love the knife obviously, but excellent comprehensive job on the description..D .one day KaBar is gonna make a new knife that's gonna knock your socks off😅😅
Just ordered one today😎 this has been on my want list for a while (like many tops knives lol). I watched this video a couple days ago and just couldn’t stop thinking about this knife so I said F it and ordered it 😂 awesome review. Subbed!
i think this vid has convinced me to get one - by the way zero dark thirty just means any time in the middle of the night i.e its late and dark and your tired
Nice explanation on that sheath that not many enjoy....LOL...Nice knife as I wish they would just charge a bit more and do Kydex and at least you would be done when buying their knives.....Good vid....Good stuff....
Pretty nice. Id wear gloves or wrap that handle if your deploying to the desert or somewhere cold. That exposed tang conducts hot & cold really well. Nothing like snatching hold of a black hilt thats been baking in the sun all day am i right? Lol
I like it. The op7 slipped in my hands while chopping...I think the zd30 handle looks like it'd be a bit more functional. At least for my hand 😎 Thanks for the video
Donnie I’ve been watching your channel for a year or two. There has to be away on your camera to flip the image in the settings. That way it doesn’t look like I’m watching in a mirror. It drives me nuts. Google how to fix that shit. Don’t take offense. Or defense. I love your videos and watch pretty much every video you put out.
Now that's a Survival Knife!! Not too big and definetely not too small! Has great ergos and geometry to complete most any task! Great video brother!😎👍
GREAT knife!

I know i love my Tops Steel Eagle. Thanks for sharing this, Live Long Prosper and Collect Your Own Way!
thanks!
I would want to sharpen that top edge
it has more versatility near sharp rather than sharp

thanks bro
Excellent video Don. BADASS knife... LOVE seeing that knife perform! And yeah bro, a Kydex is a must!!!
completely agree

I'm ready for it. They do have some greats though. The Snody design is awesome

smart buy
very agressive Blade Shape , i love the look, awesome review my Brother..love you family
super aggressive
i think this vid has convinced me to get one - by the way zero dark thirty just means any time in the middle of the night i.e its late and dark and your tired
this thing won me over really quick
My only Tops knife is the Air Wolf AIR-10 and it is stout and I love it. Not cheap but worth the $ because it will long outlast me.
treat it right, it'll treat you right
Looks like you're loving on the Tops brand me too . Give the D.A.R.T. a whirl if you get a chance.
The have some greats
@@DonnieBAllDay I carry the Lions tooth with me it's unbelievably pokey

They do it on some, but for a lot of their combat stuff, they try and keep them jump combatable

I've never had that issue. You can feel it in the cold, but a closed grip warms pretty quick
I like it. The op7 slipped in my hands while chopping...I think the zd30 handle looks like it'd be a bit more functional. At least for my hand 😎 Thanks for the video
the grip held on perfectly. The OP7 is just heavier, so a hard swing could fly
Probably my favorite topps blades 56 58 finally someone with sence
this thing is great!

Very sleek design there! Tops is quality. The Steel Eagle is one of my favorites! Indestructible tank. How does this one compare?
same tops quality, very different knives. Design vs design, I'd take this all day
when we often said zero dark 30, was slang for way too early lol
facts! In combat we didn't hear it much, but I remember it in pre-mob
Love me some Tops 1095hc, don't care what the nay sayers say ....From my experience I've had no issues especially after I added my own edge.
I've NEVER had an issue
One of mine best tops knife i own 👊
Super nice knife!
Considered this but chose the Desert Nomad instead, cool knife though.
they definitely have enough to choose from
Where did you order the Kydex from? Sorry if you already answered it and I missed it.
@@jamesShannonBussey I got it from Red Hill Sheaths. I did a full vid on it

@@DonnieBAllDay Thanks brother, sorry for the trouble.
Great looking combat utility blade 🇺🇸 🇳🇿
Really is
I like that a lot, nice one Tops!
An ace design for sure
Beautiful piece🇺🇲
most definitely
Badass Tops blade💯 but you already know what I'm gonna say ❤
its a given
Damn straight 💯❤️
I prefer the kydex sheaths.
@@roadking681 much better
Is 0030 really what it's called?
depends whose saying it, but yes. 30 after midnight, or 30 minutes before first light
@DonnieBAllDay no I mean is that the model name?
@@DonnieBAllDay like is tops calling it the "zero dark thirty"?
@@jeffdur1330 that's the model
@DonnieBAllDay interesting to see them pivot from hunting knives, to edc, to the tacticool crowd.

Its actually easy to flip it around. It just takes so damn long and I'm impatient as hell! Haha
Or buy an iPhone
I can't buy an i-Phone. I'm a grown up. Haha
