TOPS Knives The Sonoran Tumbled 1095 Tan G10 Fixed Blade Knife TSNRN-01

A primitive skills expert, wilderness guide and one of the foremost Stone Age living skills educators in North America, David Holladay a.k.a. Desert Dave designed The Sonoran to handle nearly any task in a rugged wilderness environment like the great Sonoran Desert he calls home. Inspired by the traditional Scandinavian Puukko with more of a trailing point and subtly contoured handle familiar to American hunters. The Sonoran has a tumbled 1095 carbon steel blade and tan G10 scales over black liners.

Brand new directly from TOPS Knives.

Blade: The trailing point blade is a simple, versatile design capable of handling a variety of work from skinning to woodcraft and general utility work. A modified Scandi grind delivers solid cutting performance paired with strength and ease of sharpening.

Handle: Stainless bolts attach the contoured G10 scales to the full tang over contrasting fiber liners for style and utility. The scales are semi polished for a handle that is comfortable, secure, resistant to the elements and easy to clean. A rear tube allows for lanyard attachment, while the extended tang saves your edge when striking a ferro rod for fire making.

Sheath: Carries via a stitched leather deep pouch belt sheath.

1095 Carbon Steel: A simple, extensively used carbon steel with low edge retention and corrosion resistance. Easy to sharpen to a fine edge, TOPS utilizes a differential heat treat process, which delivers a harder edge and tougher spine for optimal performance.
