It's an awesome knife.
I was going to hang it on my war belt, but decided I needed something a bit longer and pointy-er so I got the US Combat Knife

Anyone have the Browning FDX knives?

I have 4 of the 5 in the series that TOPS made for them. Awesome knives, all I need is the Tracker version and I'll have a complete set.

When we are doing blade / knife testing we try to paint up the knives.  It shows where honest use has occurred, it also lets us know the way we tend to use the knife.

Very nice collection there, delirious! How do you like the Wild Pig Hunter? I just ordered the green micarta one. I would have gotten the Blackout Edition but I'm into leather more than kydex. I was actually looking for the Kizlyar Phoenix 1 but can't find one ANYWHERE!
I can't wait for my Tops knife to get here!
ETA: correction. Also almost at 10k posts! Might have to stsrt a picure thread myself.

I haven't used it yet.   I have the black and the regular.   What I do like is that you put this knife right into a snake boot on the inside if you do plan on using it for pig hunting.  Don't know if I have the guts to go one on one with a wild pig though.  It's happened to me once when I was bow hunting.  Took out the back legs but the critter still came at me on the front two legs.  I did use a different knife to put him down.   I love the knife though.

I got my Wild Pig Hunter in Monday. I started a thread with a short review here and I'll try to figure out how to post pics in this thread and mine this weekend.  I'm really diggin' this blade!

God i love tops knives this silent hero is the nicest and my favorite knife i own now, but the sheath the send with is so terrible and useless for trying to attach it to a kit or anything tactical :/ guess i gotta find a custom kydex maker.

I put up a couple of coyotes with the Backwoods Skinner today. It performed pretty well, but I think it would be better suited for larger game. Hopefully as it gets duller I will be able to speed up some. This will be my last knife that has the stupid paint/coating that Tops and ESEE puts on their knives though. I hate that shit.

Ok, I've been eyeballing that cheetah xl every time I pop into this thread and it just looks better and better each time I look at it.
Do you like it? And what's the difference between it and the regular cheetah? The scales on yours are what I'm looking for. Might have to be a Christmas present to myself.

Wife got me the TOPS Ferret for my birthday!



It may be short, but like all TOPS knives, its a thick blade.  
Here it is next to an Esse 3:


And an updated family pic!

I was playing with 550 cord wrapping the handle on a new Izula when I was thinking about how it annoys me that melting the end of the cord always leaves a globby knob that can be a nuisance sometimes when undoing knots. So I plotted to possibly drill a hole in the scales on my BOB and my Tahoma that I could melt the cord and push it into to make a more uniformed bulb when melted. Just out of curiosity I pushed the cord through the lanyard hole on the Tahoma, lit it and waited til it had a little flame going then pulled it halfway back through the hole. I saw the flame go out, waited a second and pulled it the rest of the way out it had a perfectly cylindrical shaped end instead of a blob. The best part was that it could still be fed through the lanyard hole.

I wonder how many remember Ron Hood's first run of Hoodlum knives were made by TOPS:
