The Story Behind the Knives
|
|
|
100 Years of Spec Ops "Know How"
|
|
|
Unlike some companies that import knives and attach "Special OPS" style names to their products, TOPS took exactly the opposite approach. We enlisted the support of six special operations experts with service around the world who used their combined knowledge, experience and operational know-how at the "sharp end" to design the ultimate knife 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 coorperative effort. The six specialists with over 100 years of worldwide real field time between them are:
|
|
Ex-Seal Team 3, Command Master Chief
Ex-Force Recon Marine Team Leader
Ex-Special Forces A-Team Leader
Ex-Rhodesian SAS, Selous Scout, S. African S.F.
Ex-Phoenix SWAT Team Leader, Seal Team 6
Ex-SOG Team Leader V.N., Mid-East

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 a doctor of outdoor Survival Education, designing and field testing new products.

|
TOPS ADVANCED TACTICAL KNIVES are the fine result of the unique Synergism.
|
|
|
TOPS mission statement is "One Life...One Knife"® simply because in the real world of tactical extremes we get issued only one life, and since your life may realistically depend on your knife, you owe it to yourself to get the very best. If you are looking for something pretty and shiny that may fail you under field stress, PLEASE DO NOT BUY OUR KNIVES. TOPS KNIVES are made to last a lifetime and then some.
