Anyone have an opinion about TOPS knives?
« on: March 07, 2007, 11:26:36 AM »
Hey everyone,
          I've been looking pretty hard at the TOPS Showdown Delta (http://www.topsknives.com/product_info.php?cPath=3&products_id=125) for some time now.  From their website they will be having a serrated version coming out soon at some point.  I watch them on ebay but the serrated ones haven't come out yet from what I can tell.

Does anyone have an opinion on TOPS knives?  Do they hold an edge well? 

For the most part I'm a big fan of Case knives as it's kind of family tradition for me, but at the same time I like a nice big tough knife too.  My brother has the TOPS Tracker and just holding it is great.  I've also held the Steel Eagles and they seem nice too, but the Showdown Delta is the one I like the best.

Any thoughts?

I have three TOPS knives, The Tracker, The Scout, The Anaconda 7B.   I like TOPS knives they have performed well and as expected.  Some don't like the thickness of some of their large knives, some don't like the black finish.  I find no problem with them.  I would buy other TOPS knives.  I might not have bought the Tracker when I did put at the time money was no problem and is seemed like a cool knife.  Some don't think it is any good but it has performed for me so far.  The Scout is one of several knives I might have on me at any given moment.  It is my everyday carry fixed blade.  The Anaconda has not yet been put through its paces yet.  I did change the sheath as soon as I got it.  I replaced the velcro on the handle strap with a heavy duty snap.  Some of the TOPS knives can be in the pricey range.  I find them well worth the money and as said would buy another if need or opportunity arrose.  I have several other knives on my list to buy so the TOPS are a bit lower at the moment as I already have 3.
