Overview
TOTRAZ03: Tac-Raze 3 Friction Folder
TOPS Knives
TOPS first friction folder design now has a second blade shape available. Leo wanted the Tac-Raze to fill two purposes specifically. It had to be a good-looking gentleman’s EDC that could be carried and used in public, and it had to be a functional tool. To accomplish those needs, he started with simple shapes and added curves in all the right places. Even the sheath is stylish, but also gives the wearer a variety of carry options.
It's not just about looks though. This knife will perform everyday tasks quickly and easily, such as opening packages, cutting down boxes, cutting rope, etc. The Tac-Raze 3 is also a devastating slasher. It never hurts to have that last line of defense.
It comes with TOPS' classy Cryptic Cyber Scales on black G10 handles, TOPS’ famous Black River Wash finished 1095 with TOPS’ “signature” differential heat treat. The strong brown leather sheath can be worn vertically or horizontally on a belt for ease of carry whether open or concealed.

The TOPS Backup was designed specifically to be carried with the Hammer Hawk, but will function great as a backup to any larger knife. Many cutting tasks that people encounter can be done with knives that have short cutting edges. So when the tomahawk is too much, TOPS Backup is there to get it done.
The blade comes in at just over two inches and has a continuous curve throughout to assist in skinning small animals, feather sticking, and other small camp tasks. The Kydex sheath is minimal as is the knife for a super low-profile, light-weight carry.
