Tops Knives Eagles Shadow Fixed Blade Knife

Great design and excellent quality. Read more

This is a GREAT knife! Heavy, sturdy, thick blade, well designed, fills the hand well, great sheath... just too long for my intended use which is EDC. Colorado has a 3.5" legal limit, and this knife has a 4" blade length measured from the forward finger choil to blade tip. I bought this knife because I wanted to be sure that I could NOT use this blade due to blade length. I returned it only for that reason. If I were NOT limited to 3.5" this would definitely be in my EDC! Read more

Wanted this for a carry when I hike. Often wet where I hike. Have to say I am seriously impressed with the overall construction of the blade. Will be taking it out for a real test in a couple of months. Till then, it appears to be the best of the bumch I have in this size / style. A definite recommend. Update: after using this for a bit I have cemented this as my EDC when hiking. That said, there are a couple of flaws that come to light with use. Handle: I have slightly larger than average hands and find this handle could really benefit from an extra half inch. Jimping: The placement needs to be a 1/4” farther forward to allow a more comfortable grip and alignment with your index finger placement. Weight: Solid and a bit heavy - noticiable after wearing it for a while. Still it is the best blade for this use in my inventory. I have about a dozen to date and this has now become my go-to hiking blade. Read more

I’m a fan of TOPS. Nice knife. Really sharp out of the box. Nice and sturdy. Looks like it could take a beating and keep working. I like the “harpoon” blade shape. But it might not be right for everyone. A bit heavy for EDC, in my opinion. Read more

Been wanting this knife for 10+ years now, dont know why I didnt get this sooner, fits my hand well, my pointer finger fits around the top of the handle above the scale so it locks me in well Read more

This knife is a very nice size to carry. It has a good solid feel to the handle and the finger grove at the front protects your finger from being cut by accident. When carried horizontally I did have it come out of the sheath and onto the floor once. I like the design of the sheath, but It would be nice if the tension was able to be increased to hold more tightly. Ive owned several of the Tops knives and sometimes it is difficult to determine the size of these from a photo. This is similar in size to a Buck Vanguard where the Tops Cochese is 20% larger and the Tops Black Rhino is much larger and much heavier. The Desert Fox is about the same blade length but smaller than this and the handle on this one is much safer. I had to get some stitches when the Desert Fox came out of its sheath a little too easy and I switched from carrying that to this knife, but both have their place. Overall I am very satisfied with this knife and would definitely recommend it. As a hunter I really prefer a knife about this length for deer. Check local laws for legal length to carry, this should work most places. Read more

Excellent quality was exactly what I expected Read more

I recently been introduced to Tops Knives... AWESOME!!! In the past 2 months I purchased 5! 2 small and 3 larger size. Each one has a different purpose but all share the same qualities.... thick blades, sharp out of the bag, handles fit perfect, fit n finish AWESOME! The linen micarta handles soft to the touch, but same strength as the original micarta handles. Some if these Tops Knives have unique shapes and edges. All for different purpose. The blade made of high carbon steel and coated with a rough texture that appears to preserve the blade. Also a Kydex sheath locks the blade firmly. Cool little whistle comes with every knife ordered. No fancy box included, but ur buying the knife not the box. Get one of these blades while they last! Read more
