TOPS Knives Earth Skills Knife - Tumble Finish - 8.25" Blade - 1095 Steel - Tan Canvas Micarta Handle

The Earth Skills Knife from TOPS Knives was designed by Matt Graham, who is much more than just a "survivalist". He is an athlete - ultra-marathons, triathlons, rock climbing, etc., a martial artist - several styles, and an expert in primitive weapons, hunting, and shelters. He has more "dirt time" than almost anyone else out there.

In keeping with the same theme as his first design with TOPS Knives (the Little Bugger), it's thin with TOPS' modified Scandi grind, a tumble finish and tan canvas Micarta handle scales. This one comes with a deep carry brown leather sheath that Matt designed based off some old Native American styles of sheath. It is meant to ride cross-draw, underneath the belt, on the back side of the wearer.

Please keep in mind, the stock of this tool is 1/8" thick. Therefore, uses like batoning are not recommended and bent blades due to that type of use will not be covered under the warranty. It is meant for the types of uses you would normally get from a machete.
