The Operator 7 is huge! TOPS Knives went big with thick steel and handles to make a hefty, well-balanced knife that will excel as a workhorse tool. But it also has those classic American fighting knife aesthetics that make it look every bit as good as it will perform. And with the insane popularity of the original, this Blackout Edition was sure to follow.
Made out of 0.31" thick 1075 carbon steel, the differentially heat treated blade will be impact resistant on the edge with a very strong spine. The handles start with black canvas Micarta on the bottom sandwiched with black G10 on top that has a great texture for grip. The entire handle is also over 1" thick once assembled to fill out the user's hand much like an axe or hatchet handle would.
Because it is a tool, it's got to be useful and it's got to be comfortable. It's made for the people that don't back down. This knife will find its place with door kickers, survivalists and weekend warriors alike. The rounded handles and hand guard make it a joy to use and the finger choil allows the user to get great precision for finer cuts. The six and a half inches of cutting edge will suffice for the vast majority of cutting tasks, and the weight will help the knife to a lot of the work itself. The included Kydex sheath with rotating spring steel clip makes it easy to carry into whatever territory you find yourself.
