TOPS Tahoma Field Knife with Black Canvas – Top Not Sharpened

The TOPS Knives Tahoma Field Knife was designed by Andy Tran to provide anything the outdoor professional would need in a knife. His background in tinkering, and fundamental knowledge of physics and human movement was the basis of development for the Tahoma Field Knife. The notch on the spine of the blade is used for scoring materials to create a weak point to break, as well as break wire by work hardening it, and pulling pots and similar items out of a fire. The thumb ramp has a hole in it for a forward wrist lanyard popular in cutting contests as well as to aid in lashing the knife to the end of a stick to make a spear. The finger choil makes bringing the hand closer to the blade possible for fine carving tasks. The choil also creates a secondary "tip" for carving or notching. The overall shape of the handle is made for ergonomics and to give the user a better grasp like on a machete. Dual spindle sockets for a bow drill make it safe to use left or right hand operation. On the pommel of the knife is a pry bar, shaped and positioned so that if given a backseat grip on the knife during chopping, it would not cut, or wear into your hand. Every feature is integrated into the knife to work with each other, as well as be instinctual to the user so that it feels like an extension of the body. This version features Black Canvas Micarta handle scales. An emergency whistle and a container of oil are included.
