Details

The TOPS Knives Rapid Strike was designed to excel as a combative blade while having a slim, compact footprint for easy, discreet carry. There is plenty of cutting edge for good slashing cuts and thrusts or for more utilitarian tasks like cutting your steak. Whether you’re deployed in the field, serving and protecting in your neighborhood or just a citizen who wants to be prepared for the dangers of the world, the Rapid Strike is an ideal choice. This is the single edge version.

Brand new, direct from TOPS Knives.

Blade: The spear point profile blade is made from 154CM stainless steel for solid toughness and edge retention with the added benefit of low maintenance and corrosion resistance. The unsharpened swedge runs nearly the full length of the blade and delivers powerful piercing capability while the saber grind offers a good balance of strength and cutting performance. Prominent jimping on the spine adds traction and allows for sight-free indexing. The 1.5" blade width and non-reflective tumbled finish allow for discreet carry and use.

Handle: Contoured G10 handle scales are attached over red liners to the full tang blade with black oxide stainless hardware for added security. The recessed jimping that goes all the way around the handle offers superb traction while maintaining a very slim handle allowing for easy, discreet carry of the knife. The Rapid Strike offers a wide range of carry options and can easily pull double duty as a personal steak knife. An exposed point on the tang can be used as an impact tool or glass breaker.

Sheath: Carries via a custom molded Kydex sheath with removable spring clip.

Crucible 154CM: Originally developed as a stainless bearing steel, 154CM is an improved version of 440C with added molybdenum that offers improved resistance to pitting from corrosion and higher hardness for better edge retention. Similar to Hitachi ATS-34.
