MISSION CRITICAL:
EXTREME ASSIGNMENTS
more than 100 years
of Special 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 11 Operators with backgrounds
in the Military, Law Enforcement, Outdoor Professions, and
the Martial Arts, with service around the world who used their
combined knowledge, experience and operational know-how
at the "sharp end" to design the ultimate knives 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 cooperative effort. Our Team is comprised
of individuals from:
* SEAL Team 3, Command Master Chief
* Columbus- Officer Street Survival Instructor
* Special Forces A-Team
* Rhodesian SAS, Selous Scouts
* Phoenix S.W.A.T. Team
* Marine Force Recon
* Atlanta-Marshall SWAT
* Special OPS Groups
* Tacoma- Street Defense Instructor
* Airborne Rangers
* Martial Arts Instructors
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 an Outdoor Educator, who designs
and field tests new products.
TOPS ADVANCED TACTICAL KNIVES
are the fine result of this unique Synergism.
"One Life...One Knife"�
That's our motto, simply because in the real world of
tactical extremes, we are issued only one life. And since your
life may realistically depend on your knife, you owe it to
yourself to get the very best.
Over the last couple of years TOPS KNIVES have been
requested and deployed in many parts of the world. Numerous
individuals who are currently active FIELD OPERATORS are
using our knives and have been reporting top performance
and reliability from their TOPS KNIVES.
. . . SPECIAL OPS TRUSTS TOPS . . .
CAUSE THEY'RE HARD TO THE CORE. . .
ATTENTION!
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!
A Warranty in writing and registered to the purchaser, This is
a KNIFE, for LIFE.
