ABOUT
TOPs KNIVES
"One Life...One Knife"® That's TOP's motto, simply because in
the real world of tactical extremes, we are issued only one life. And since
your life may realistically depend on your knife, you owe it to yourself to
get the very best.
More than 100 years of Special Ops "Know How". Unlike some companies
that import knives and attach "Special OPS" style names to their products,
TOPS took exactly the opposite approach. They enlisted the support of 11 Operators
with backgrounds in the Military, Law Enforcement, Outdoor Professions, and
the Martial Arts, with service around the world who used their combined knowledge,
experience and operational know-how at the "sharp end" to design the
ultimate knives suitable for virtually any tactical purpose.
Tested to the extremes in the mean streets of LA; the plains of Africa; and
the jungles of Peru; TOPS KNIVES are the result of the unique cooperative effort.
Our Team is comprised of individuals from: SEAL Team 3, Command Master Chief;
Columbus- Officer Street Survival Instructor; Special Forces A-Team; Rhodesian
SAS, Selous Scouts; Phoenix S.W.A.T. Team; Marine Force Recon; Atlanta-Marshall
SWAT; Special OPS Groups; Tacoma- Street Defense Instructor; Airborne Rangers;
Martial Arts Instructors.
Add to the
array the skills of one knife maker, a former teacher of physics and chemistry
who applied his scientific and technical know-how to perfecting the metallurgy,
balance and cutting angles. Also an Outdoor Educator, who designs and field
tests new products.
TOPs Knives have been requested and deployed in many parts of the world. Numerous
individuals who are active Field Operators are using TOPs knives and have been
reporting top performance and reliability from their TOPs Knives.
