Details

Designed by David Norseman Williams USMC (Ret) and built in the USA by TOPS Knives, the HOG 4.5 is about as useful an outdoors blade as you will come across. It's comfortable, well-balanced, thick and tough with all-around potential. The HOG (Hunter Of Gunmen) will become your go-to whether Military or civilian.

Brand new item by TOPS Knives.

Blade: .190 inch thick 1095 high carbon steel features full tang, dependable construction with the perfect drop point shape. This shape is ideal for overall utility because it's an excellent slicer, skinner, chopper and piercer. It does it all and looks good doing it. The flat grind on this one also means low drag cutting for nice, clean work that your blade won't get hung up on. A black traction coated finish is strong to protect the steel from corrosion and stealthy to keep your location concealed. 

Handle: The blackout trend continues for the HOG with black linen Micarta handle scales secured to the steel with black hardware. The ergonomics on this thing are off the charts. A grip they write about. Just pick it up. Forward or reverse grip, it's a wow. It has subtle white liner accents under the scales and an extended tang with finger ring for endless possibilities. 

Sheath: The H.O.G. carries via a double stitched, black leather pouch sheath with drop loop dangler for belt carry. It includes a ferro rod holder and ferro rod.

1095 High Carbon Tool Steel: Highly popular, simple carbon steel. Used extensively by both production and custom knife makers. Low abrasive wear due to low carbide content but very tough and easy to sharpen. Not corrosion resistant and will rust without proper care. TOPS uses a differential heat treat process to enhance performance.
