New from TOPS Knives: Team Jackal Survivor

By on July 21, 2015 in Knives

TOPS Knives just taught an old Jackal some new tricks. The new Team Jackal Survival is a refresh of a TOPS Knives staple, the Team Jackal 5. Instead of an all black color scheme, the Team Jackal Survival sports a black, Rocky Mountain Tread G-10 handle that contrasts with its tan powder coated blade.

The aggressive clipped point blade shape and half height saber grind of the original Team Jackal knife is still intact. It also still has the flat hammer pommel, deep first finger groove, and jumped thumb ramp of the original. Everything that made the Team Jackal knife is still here with the addition of the new color scheme.

Check out the Team Jackal Survivor at TOPS Knives.

TOPS Knives Releases the SXB Knife

By on July 7, 2015 in Knives, Survival

Knife people seem to have a love/hate relationship with the Wilderness Survival Knife (WSK) design. Some love it for its ability to perform a wide variety of tasks and potentially replace multiple tools. Some hate it for its large size and brute force approach. All I know is that I have seen some very capable people doing a multitude of survival related tasks with them and doing them very effectively. I also know that the new SXB from TOPS Knives is one of the most radical WSKs I have seen yet.

SXB

Take TOPS Knives’ well known Tom Brown Tracker, stretch it out by nearly 5″, add TOPS Knives’ Rocky Mountain Tread handle treatment, add an extended pommel and guard, and you have something close to the SXB EJ “Skullcrusher” Snyder. Interestingly, because the SXB is not quite as tall as the Tracker, it manages to weigh 2 ounces less in spite of all the extra blade length.

Tahoma Field Knife Kydex from InnerBark Outdoors

By on June 26, 2015 in Uncategorized

The Tahoma Field Knife, a large fixed blade designed by Andy Tran of InnerBark Outdoors and produced by TOPS Knives, is one of the finest large survival knives on the market. It comes from TOPS with functional sheath but there is always room for improvement.

InnerBark Outdoors worked with Red Feather Gear to develop is a kydex dangler sheath for the Tahoma Field Knife. The sheath has a welt to add rigidity which is nice for such a heavy knife. It also features a closed dangler loop that can not be accidentally opened and a well formed thumb ramp to aid in removing the knife from the sheath.

Check out the Tahoma Field Knife Kydex Sheath at InnerBark Outdoors. The price is quite reasonable considering the size of the sheath.
