TOPS Knives Street Spike Skeletonized EDC Fixed Blade STS-01

Well-known for producing interesting and wild designs, TOPS Knives knows that form follows function and the simplest designs can fulfill a need. Designed by CEO Leo Espinoza, the Street Spike is a basic, no-frills tool that combines concealability, strength, and utility flawlessly, while keeping the cost as low as possible without sacrificing quality. Built from solid, 1/4 inch thick 1095 Leo reduced the weight by skeletonizing the handle. By radiusing the edges he delivered unparalleled comfort for a knife with no scales while keeping a slim package that is easy to conceal. Black traction coating enhances corrosion resistance and offers a more discreet carry and use. Add a simple Kydex sheath and you have a knife that could easily replace many EDC folders or fixed blades. Small enough to fit in a pocket and capable of being worn as a neck knife the Street Spike is elegant and functional in its simplicity.

Brand new, direct from TOPS Knives, USA.

Blade: The straight spine blade is made from beefy 1/4 inch thick 1095 high carbon steel, with a full flat grind for slicing performance while retaining plenty of strength for heavy use. A gentle taper of the simple blade ends in a point the pierces well while being durable. Tough black traction coating provides a discreetly non-reflective and corrosion resistant finish. A wide, smooth spine with chamfered edge provides a solid platform for added thumb pressure needed for powerful cuts.

Handle: Radiusing on the edges for optimal comfort the full tang handle is skeletonized to reduce weight while providing a secure grip in the hand thanks to the dual finger grooves. Holes are provided if you wish to add your own handles or wrap the handle with paracord if you need a more filling grip. Given how comfortable the handle is these measures are likely unnecessary, especially if you want to maintain the slim profile for easier concealment in carry. A pointed pommel end makes an effective impact tool and a lanyard is easily attached through the rear hole if you choose.

Sheath: Includes a custom molded Black Kydex Sheath with Beta Loops for multiple carry options.

1095 High Carbon 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.
