8 minutes in and you guys just sold THOUSANDS of TOPs knives! They do make great knives and the steel eagle is one of their best. They have HUNDREDs of models, some even better suited to bushcraft/survival. Great company!

[@ms.annthrope415]

I have the 107C Steel Eagle. It is awesome. Large enough to chop, slash, chop branches and small trees. Large enough to dig and saw. Baton it to make firewood. Make fuzz sticks with it. Splinter down wood for kindling. I keep it under the rear seat compartment of my truck along with my tomahawks, space blanket, light sticks, kukri, shovels, and other survival equipment.

[@loyalegroup3929]

I've been blessed to own quite a few really nice knives (*some even quite expensive for me), and the TOPS 107 ("C" or "E") is still one of my absolute favorites. In my humble experience, so many large "wilderness"-style blades are decent at axe-type stuff, but atrocious at actual "knife" chores. The 107 is definitely the exception. It'll split wood like a splitting axe, and then prep your camp food with the same ease. I try to tuck mine at the bottom of my knife cabinet, because if I didn't I probably wouldn't use any of my other knives.

[@AaronAlso]

Look after hundreds of hours in the bush I can tell you I never feel like those big survival knives are enough. They always seem to fall in this zone of not big enough or too big for the task I'm trying to do. Couple years ago I switched to a small machete, a Condor Village Parang and have absolutely zero regrets. These days the parang, silky saw and a good multi-tool cover the vast majority of my tool needs in the bush; If I don't have the tool I need I can probably make it. Mind you the village parang isn't perfect, but it has the weight and the size to fill the roll of a small axe or hatchet. There are some changes i would make if I had the skills to make my own, but in general the village parang is my go to for many bushcraft tasks.

[@chrismaynard8600]

Thats not a bad price, I was expecting it to cost more. Love my DBK knife by the way. Its crazy sharp and built like a tank. Can't wait to see the next version

You can use the notches on the back to cut through barbed wire or fencing. Put it in the notch and twist back and forth till the wire snaps

[@bazzc]

It's the first model Tops made, on the batonning part the 107 e has no sawback and the 111a (stretch limo verson) has some space on the back to the point that has no sawback to baton on. Got the tanto point version for more than 7 years now and this is a beast.

[@derekballard4258]

Good stuff guys. I love when you do tops knives. I have a few myself and they are beasts. I recommend checking out the tops tahoma also

[@aidanhendricksen4832]

I agree with everything you guys said on the steel eagle, i have 111A for those who dont know that is the extended version of this knife and it is a beast, i got it 6 years ago back when tops had bad sheaths but the thing is a monster, i did manage to pick up a VERY VERY minor warp in the blade when batoning at 15 inch log of hickory covered with knots and it still made it through, great video DBK very enjoyable

A tip for charcloth tin holes. Place it just under where the lid screws down...highish on the side. Then leave the lid slightly up but still closed to do the burn. When you want to stop it/seal it just screw down fully and the hole is covered.

Back in the 80s I fell for the "Your $12.99 Survival Knife!!!" ad in a magazine as an 11-12 year old. Sh*t blade with a ONE inch threaded tang that was held on by one nut to a hollow handle packed with fishline, hooks, cable saw, etc and a compass capping the whole thing. Pleather/ vinyl sheath.

I have a tops silent hero which is made with the same steel and heat treating process. And it is very susceptible to bone. I have cleaned several small game animals with it and if you chop through their limbs it leaves microchips in the blade.

[@danzigrulze5211]

If they had a more basic handle, it would be great but lose the tacticool factor of the demographic base. Maybe ask Tops to make a bushcraft/survival version of this knife.

[@arielgarcia5065]

@@Chris09978 yeah I love dbk and how they test knives based on bushcraft but tops knives are beyond that.

[@DL-ij7tf]

I contend that there is essentially no such thing as a "combat" knife. Knives aren't really used in combat and going by their use as weapons, in real life the kitchen butcher knife or cheap gas station turds have stacked the most kills or wounds (aka crimes). There are a few features that are better for worse for killing but most any knife is about the same level of "combat" as another. A Mora Basic 511 is only slightly worse than a Ka Bar and any circumstance that a Ka Bar would work, any knife probably would as well. It's mostly marketing and fantasy. Knives are tools. A piece of metal with a sharp side. If it's good for one knife task it's probably decent at all knife tasks. Every real-life survival scenario that involved a knife at all (and many don't) it was probably a low quality knife by modern standards. Has a knife in 3V ever been used as a weapon against a human or act as the deciding factor in a human's survival?

[@arielgarcia5065]

@@DL-ij7tf if there's no such thing as a combat knife then explain this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5jYeWxvrNCLbqs Ok that was clearly a joke, now seriously: What's the difference between a mauser kar98k and a Winchester model 70? It's purpose. One is for hunting ("tool") and the other was created with the purpose of war. Everything is about propose. That analogy work as well with knives but in an opposite way. Most knives are tools and not weaponsbut there are also knives that were created to fight, to defend yourself from an animal in a hunting situation or from a human. Bayonets are combat knives (most of them are not even sharp by bushcraft standards). Kabar USMC is a combat and utility knife, being utility it's main function. The question is: will you ever have the necessity to defend yourself with a knife? Probably not. Would a knife made any difference in a modern war? Absolutely not, but I'd carry it anyway. About super steels like cpm3v, idk, I'm not into fancy steels. I just use regular good quality steels that work and it's fine for me.

[@knifedetective259]

@@DL-ij7tf So when they made a dagger and put a hand guard on it complete with spikes do you think they designed that for cutting your apple or opening up your mail perhaps? Maybe it was a combat knife designed specifically to kill people in close quarters. Go check out trench warfare.

Tops gets a bad rap sometimes I think, because of some of their weird designs, but I think they are seriously the toughest 1095 knives out there, while still having impressive edge stability (due to the differential heat treat). I'd take them over the Beckers or Esee because I've seen those sheer and chip more, and you don't get a knife like this unless toughness is key.
