Tops Mountain Lion

Design by requirements is the motto of the well-known knife factory TOPS situated in the heart of the Rocky Mountains in Idaho. As many of its members had a long career in military or police and are still well connected to these, the enterprise has a high official input. Before being serialized, every model is tested in the field for a minimum of six months. These ultra-sturdy knife blades are mostly manufactured from 1095 carbon steel. A special abrasion-resistant powder coating (developed exclusively for TOPS) is applied that makes the blade corrosion-resistant. This so called traction coating survived for seven days without damage the especially challenging US military salt spray test. Because of their sturdiness and reliability, TOPS knives are a vital part of the equipment and especially valued by the US army in today’s crisis areas. All TOPS models are made in the USA!

The Mountain Lion was developed in honour of the famous 10th mountain division; a unit specialized to operate in rough mountains. These men have to rely on their equipment 100%. The mountain lion is a full tang build with a 1095 carbon steel blade featuring black traction coating and a two-tone finish. The green-black G10 scales provide safe grip under any weather conditions. The knife is supplied with a M.O.L.L.E. compatible nylon sheath with piercing protection.
