Hill People Gear Coyote Knife

By on May 10, 2019 in Knives

Hill People Gear is now offering their first knife – the Coyote Knife. The knife is modeled after a custom knife that the Hill brothers’ father had made in the 1960s and they refer to the design as a “generalist”, suited to a variety of outdoor tasks.

It is produced for Hill People Gear by LT Wright Knives. The A2 tool steel blade 5/32″ thick and 3.5″ long. It has a spear point shape with a saber grind, false swedge, and 90 degree spine for scraping/sparking a ferro rod. The micarta hidden tang handle construction is topped off with a brass guard and pins.

The knife ships with a bushcraft style leather dangler sheath. It will be available to order very soon.

Sicario II Knife from RE Factor Tactical and Toor Knives

By on May 7, 2019 in EDC, Knives

The original Sicario collaboration knife from Toor Knives and RE Factor Tactical was popular but it was a straight up fighter. The new Sicario II builds on the original concept by adding some utility to create a knife that is still obviously slanted toward a compact fighter but can also be used for regular knife tasks.

The new Sicario II still has the slim, 5/32″ thick, Persian style blade with a piercing point but more height has been added to the blade to better support the edge and point. This design change adds little in terms of weight or size but makes it much more robust for utility tasks while still maintaining its overall stabbyness.

The handle features sculpted layered walnut scales. The pommel and thumb ramp are heavily textured for backing up your cuts/stabs without fear of slipping.

The Sicario II comes with a kydex sheath that is suitable for a number of carry and concealment methods.

  • Blade Length- 4.25″
  • Blade Width- 1″  
  • Handle Material- Layered Walnut
  • Length overall- 8.5″
  • Weight- 3.8 oz
  • Country of origin- USA 
  • Steele- CPM 154
  • Blade Thickness- 5/32″
  • Blade Rockwell Hardness- 60

TOPS Knives Launches Dicer Kitchen Knives: Dicer 3 and 8

By on April 24, 2019 in Knives

The 2nd knife to be designed through TOPS’ employee design contest is also TOPS’ first official kitchen knife. The 8” chef’s knife was designed by TOPS’ photographer and graphics manager Jesus Arellano. It has more belly than you might normally expect from a chef’s knife, which makes a unique and functional kitchen tool. Of course, since you can’t have only one knife in the kitchen, the Dicer will eventually be offered with many different knives to make it a complete set. Right now, the 2 most essential knives are available, the Dicer 8 Chef and the Dicer 3 Paring. Premium steel – CPM S35VN – and handles – blue and black G10 – provide a kitchen tool that will be passed down from generation to generation much like hunting knives are passed from father to son.

Pick up the Dicers from a TOPS authorized dealer or from TOPS at TOPSKnives.com

Jones Brothers Low-Key

By on March 29, 2019 in EDC, Knives

The Jones Brothers make great knives but some of their best known designs are their “Party Favors”. These items are often innocuous looking self defense tools. The Low-Key is one such item.

It looks very much like a car key at first glance but a closer inspection reveals that it is a functional thumb dagger! The black micarta handle gives the user a solid grip. The blade is sharpened at the end for piercing. It is sharp enough to be pressed into soft targets but not so sharp as to cut up your pockets.

As with many of the items that the Jones Brothers create, these are sold on a first come, first serve basis. If you want a chance at one, I suggest following them on their social media and/or the Jones Brothers sub-forum on the Usual Suspects Network.
