Tops started their knife line in 1998. Their knives are made for hard use, and, are being used hard by a variety of law-enforcement agencies and S.W.A.T. teams around the world. Handle material is micarta, or cord wrap, or skeleton depending on application. They have employed palm swell traction grooves for secure grip control.
All blades are available in plain edge, or, with optional serrations no extra charge.
The blades are either bead blasted or polymer powder coated. TOPS knives have life time warranty.
