River Rat

Built for life on the water and beyond, the River Rat is a compact fixed-blade knife designed to deliver full-sized performance without taking up valuable space in your gear. Inspired by designer Julio Diez's river adventures, this production version was developed in collaboration with TOPS.

The full-sized black G10 handle provides a comfortable and secure grip despite the knife's compact dimensions. This helps reduce the hand fatigue that can be common with smaller knives during extended use.

The blade is crafted from corrosion-resistant 154CM stainless steel and features a Rough Terrain finish for added protection in wet outdoor environments. Its modified sheepsfoot profile combines a strong, practical tip for everyday cutting tasks with enough belly for tasks such as skinning small game or cleaning fish.

Whether you're fishing, spending time on the water, dressing game, or simply need a dependable everyday utility knife, the River Rat combines the packability of a compact knife with the grip, control, and versatility of a much larger tool.

A precisely fitted Kydex sheath is included for secure storage and convenient carry.
