TOPS Knives Tex Creek Fixed Blade Knife 4.19″ Drop Point 1095 High Carbon Alloy Blade Canvas Micarta Handle Black Information
The Tex Creek wildlife management area includes 2 national forests and is home to an abundance of diverse wildlife and is accessible starting about 10 miles from the TOPS facility. Open range, high rugged mountains, waterways and large forests provide the hunters and fisherman a variety of diverse terrain to acquire elk, bear, mountain lion, wolf, moose, pheasant, turkey, quail, rabbit, duck, goose, steelhead and salmon.
The fact that this Tex Creek area is so close to TOPS enables their designers and makers the ability to field test in their own backyard. Since many of the TOPS staff grew up in this setting, they have ample opportunity to evaluate the use of their knives/tools under the most adverse conditions. The Tex Creek Hunter is a fine example of a high-quality, good-looking work knife.
The designer Leo Espinoza, created a new look for this specific blade. At TOPS, they call it “Black River Wash” The un-coated finish clearly shows the heat treat line along the blade edge. The darkened-steel pattern is unique on every blade. This creates that broken in, rustic look and feels just like an old pair of comfortable boots. The darkened Micarta scales are screwed onto the handle and a large cord holder is accentuated at the back of the handle. The handles are designed and built for a positive grip and for extended periods of use. A simple and usable design is reinforced by a sturdy 3/16″ thick blade and full tang handle. This is a knife that performs with excellence in the field and looks and feels like an old trusted friend, anywhere that you go
* Please Note That The “Black River Wash” Process Will Create A Unique Look To Each Knife. Your Knife’s Pattern May Vary From The Product Image. The Carbon Content Of The Steel Can Also Cause Variations In The Engraving. *
