Tops Knives makes investment-worthy blades, the kind you save up for and cherish until you pass it down. The latest is for the guy who wants to go all Rambo on his daily tasks. The Operator 7 steals its aesthetics from fighting knives, only it’s designed as a workhorse tool, not a tactical sidepiece. What does all that mean? It means this thing is burly and badass. Made from thick 1075 steel, the Operator 7 is impact resistant on the edge and boasts an incredible strong spine. When it comes to the handle that lets you wield the beefy blade, you’ve got tan canvas micarta and black G10 with a textured grip so it doesn’t slip from your palm while in use. The handle, like the blade, is also thick, and it fills out your hand much like an ax or hatchet handle. Each comes with a Kydex sheath and dangler for comfortable carry.
