Tops Knives C.U.T 4.0 CUT-40

The TOPS CUT 4.0 is an impressive fixed-blade knife, crafted by designer Joshua Swanagon. This American creator developed the TOPS C.U.T. (Combat Utility Tool) as a knife suitable for everyday carry (EDC) and tactical applications. A notable feature of the CUT is the prominent finger-ring at the handle's end, reflecting the influence of Asian karambit knives. During standard use, you insert your finger through this ring. For more dynamic tasks, you place your index finger through the ring, positioning the blade beneath your fist. The blade is constructed from 1095 carbon steel. As indicated by its name, this steel type has a relatively high carbon content, allowing the knife to be honed to a very sharp edge. However, it is important to note that this steel is not stainless. The handle is made from micarta, a robust composite material composed of linen and synthetic resin. The TOPS CUT is accompanied by a kydex sheath, featuring two flexible belt loops. This design allows you to attach it to your belt horizontally, and the loops can also be adjusted. These loops are compatible with a MOLLE web system as well.
