    I have a tops loner it's a nice knife but a bit thick for my liking .and not at all sharp out of the box ....look it up if its the same thickness as the loner then in my opinion probably too thick .......... Also a cowsun to sharpen .....better spend the money on something british

    TOPS is infamous for having obtuse grinds. The knife was actually designed by some pretty hardcore bushcrafters and knife guys. I have read of complaints about the tacticool sheath. I bought one knife from TOPS and never will again due to their shoddy customer service.

    My current "go to" knife is the TOPS B.O.B. Fieldcraft:





    It currently lives on my desk, so it's the knife I use for most home needs, as well as practicing bushcraft skills. (I keep a few bits of wood inside to practice... mostly feather sticks.) This knife is a bit bulky compared to a woodlore, but it is a fine tool. (Spine thickness is 0.185" / 4.76mm)
