Check out TOPS Knives

I have a few of their knives but this one, the TEX CREEK, is an easy one to make it your favorite edc all purpose knife.

It comes in a leather sheath but I think they also offer a kydex one.

Email response is super quick, so that's a plus too.

Made in the U.S.

Give 'em a try

Another knife I like is the Devil's Elbow, they come in 2 sizes and are pretty handy.

Perfect for the duty belt or edc in general. Now I'm patiently waiting on the Devil's Anus knife

I got a Tops 'Alaskan Harpoon' for my birthday earlier this year. It's a rather large knife...came in a kydex sheath with a cool survival whistle.

Have several, couldnt be happier with a production knife although they dont have every design I want I also have their Crash Axe, cut your way through a car tomahawk and I give that huge Kudo's as a daily carry but its no wood chopper although its a good slitter if you've taken a bow saw to camp.

With list includes 5-10 more of them Im sure although I could spread that round some brands too.

All very nice and I hear they are great quality knives. I do have the Tops/Buck CSAR folder in my collection which is certainly a rugged made knife with the belt cutter and glass breaker. Made with 154CM steel which holds an edge very well.

Yes They look and feel very different once you handle them.

This is a pretty tenuous connection to the thread, but I just bought a knife designed by Brian Griffin, who also designed the TOPS Tibo neck knife.

The knife is the Schrade SCHF55, intended as a camp knife/beater/all-purpose utility tool, a thick, sturdy blade that will take a lot of abuse and still slice pretty well. I found the designer’s extensive writings about the knife to be pretty interesting, got caught up in the back story, and, as it was not expensive, pulled the trigger the other day.

It feels good in hand, and ought to serve well, something to throw in a motorcycle tank bag, or use to pop open a frozen car door.

After cutting my finger with this new knife and putting a band aid on, I proceeded to cut this onion. The FMS (Frog Market Special) looks good, feels good and cuts with ease. Definitely my favorite kitchen knife now.

I'm a Tops fans as well especially the Tex Creek. The Tex Creek is a little big for my EDC taste so I emailed Tops and asked what they would recommend. One of their suggestions was the Blue Otter. If it had the same finish as the Tex Creek I would probably already own it. How do you like it?

I love both. But the Tex Creek comes with a leather sheath and it's nice for outdoor stuff but it has no retention and I don't carry it to town. In fact it's in the door pocket of our truck.

The Blue Otter is great, nice size and looks good. The kydex sheath has a belt clip and has a ~45 degree cant. Works nice but limits the position you can carry since you can't adjust it. Some knife sheaths come with an adjustable belt clip (you can rotate it 360 degree) and this gives you way more options. Also, some people don't like the Blue Otter engraving... I think it's cute.

Neither of them is a true fighting knife but rather a great all-purpose edc blade that can of course be used in a SD scenario.

I've more on order and might have another option for you by the end of the week

 

[JJEH]

Another good sized option for edc

I’m unfamiliar with these but they look like solid knives.

Snagged this one at an Annual NRA meeting a couple years ago - never heard of them before.
