    The Operator 7 model is huge! TOPS Knives has dared to create an imposing knife with a thick blade and solid handle, creating a balanced tool that excels as a true “workhorse.” At the same time, it retains that classic American combat knife aesthetic, looking as spectacular as it performs.

    Made from 8 mm thick 1075 steel, the blade is differentially heat treated: the edge is impact resistant, while the spine is incredibly sturdy. The handle combines sand-colored Micarta on the lower part with black G10 on the upper part, offering optimal grip. Once assembled, the handle is over 2.5 cm thick, shaped to fit perfectly in the user's hand, just like an axe or hatchet handle.

    Designed to be useful and comfortable, this knife is for those who don't hold back. It is at home with door kickers, survivalists, and weekend enthusiasts alike. The rounded handles and guard ensure comfort of use, while the finger choil allows for great precision in the most delicate cuts. The 16.5 cm of active edge covers most needs, and the weight of the knife helps to do most of the work itself. The included Kydex sheath with dangler attachment makes it easy to carry in any terrain.
