TOPS Knives Camp Creek Nessmuk Skinner CPM S35VN Camo G10 Fixed Blade

The president of TOPS Knives Leo Espinoza makes himself a knife for hunting season every year, a tradition to help him keep his creative juices flowing. These knives are often not released for production but in the case of the Camp Creek it was just too good to keep to himself. This knife utilize high quality modern materials that are uncommon for TOPS, specifically CPM S35VN stainless steel and Tri-Color G10. The Camp Creek is an ultra high-quality hunting/camp knife executed with exceptional TOPS fit and finish blending modern and traditional design with style.

Brand new directly from TOPS Knives, USA.

Blade: Made from full flat ground CPM S35VN the Camp Creek sports a Nessmuk-style skinner blade that is nearly all belly from tip to handle. The flat grind and thin stock make it a great slicer for food prep work around camp but skinning is where this blade shines. Fully stainless the blade has good toughness and edge retention while being relatively easy to sharpen in the field. The tumbled finish hides wear well and fits with the rugged nature of the design.

Handle: The thick, contoured handles of the Camp Creek are made from tri-color Camo G10 for a comfortable and hand-filling grip. G10 is tough and nearly impervious to the elements making it a perfect choice for a hunting/camp knife. The handles are attached with robust Allen hardware and a generous aluminum tube is provided for lanyard attachment. The handles are sized perfectly for a comfortable and secure grip with or without gloves.

Sheath: Custom molded Tan Kydex with leather drop loop.

CPM S35VN: Designed to offer improved toughness over CPM S30V, S35VN substitutes niobium for vanadium delivering an increase in toughness of about 15-20% with no appreciable loss of wear resistance. Increased toughness means better resistance to edge chipping. Corrosion resistance is on par with S30V.
