Rocky Mountain Bullseye C.A.T. from TOPS Knives

By on March 12, 2015 in EDC, Knives, Preparedness, Survival

Just over a week ago, TOPS Knives introduced their C.A.T. knives with a new grip pattern called Cryptic Cyber. Now they have released a second grip pattern option with a very cool back story.

The new Rockey Mountain Bullseye texture came about serendipitously! The folks at TOPS were machining handles when a machining error created a divot pattern in the surface of the grip slab. It looked good and it felt good so the only thing left to do was program the machine to make the mistake divots on purpose. I wish my mistakes turned out so well.

The new texture is available on the C.A.T. knives in both drop point and tanto. The C.A.T. series is a mainstay of the TOPS Knives lineup thanks to their handy size and versatile shapes.

The C.A.T. (Covert Anti-Terrorism) knives have been in the TOPS Knives line up for nearly as long as TOPS Knives has existed and they have been largely unchanged in that time. They announced that they would be breathing some new life into the knives at SHOT Show in the form of a new scales called Cryptic Cyber Scales.

TOPS Knives at SHOT Show

By on January 15, 2015 in Knives

The TOPS Knives booth at SHOT Show will have plenty to see. In addition to new knives and old favorites, they will have a number of their knife designing partners on hand at various times for you to meet. They will also be hosting Dr. Hayley Adams who is one of the founders of the Silent Heroes Foundation.

It appears that one of the new knives might be a larger version of the Baja 3.0 that I recently reviewed. TOPS Knives’ teaser image appears to show what could be a Baja 4.5.
