Lilith👌Ginunting👌B.O.B knife👌

[@ericsierra-franco7802]

That Ginunting is badass!

[@haveaknifeday]

That it is.

[@m.taylor2155]

I want that Ginunting knife so Bad!

[@NZComfort]

It took a month, but my El Pionero finally arrived and folks it was well worth the wait. Light, small, handy EDC. Thank you Tops!!!

[@haveaknifeday]

It's wonderful when a much awaited knife arrives in hand.

[@powerplay4real174]

TOP's Knives is keeping up with the trends and making some fun knives and machetes. ⚔️💥💥💥💥💥🤺

[@haveaknifeday]

That they are.

[@azkikrx1]

They barely gave that Armado 6.5 a look and it was the best of the bunch IMHO.

[@TOPSKnivesofficial]

Amazing video, thank you for stopping by!

[@haveaknifeday]

You are very welcome

[@cambam5795]

What was the knife to the right under the big two opposite of the armado 6.5 you guys didn't talk about it. And I paused and zoomed in and couldn't read it looks like a mountain etched on the blade?

[@haveaknifeday]

The updated version of the “wilderness guide.”

[@haveaknifeday]

It is what it is based on but currently doesn’t have an official name.

[@adods9824]

I want that blade in the screen shot!!

[@haveaknifeday]

It’s something else

[@AnthonyJones-zo7dy]

Yep... The Brothers of Bushcraft knife is an excellent choice for a general outdoor knife - as he said - especially for all around uses in the field... It has a nice weight, balance, grip, and its a beast. (BTW - although the shango notch works... I generally don't use it with my ferro rod... but I do use it for scraping bark to make tender)... All the VERY BEST!😊

[@haveaknifeday]

Thank you for your insights

[@Daniel.Liddicoat]

The BOB is about the only Tops knife that makes sense to me. Most of them seem to be weird for the sake of it.

[@MrJustyjive]

Love tops knives ❤

[@haveaknifeday]

They are very addictive

[@brisnwinters8161]

I have a tops Armageddon it is great.

[@snakeeyes6737]

Wow that ginunting is well made

[@haveaknifeday]

It does at that

[@bruceleroy8063]

I'm sure they'll get me for that big Filipino blade

[@haveaknifeday]

That’s a looker for sure.

[@ger13nunyah56]

This is the way

[@Tusk2001]

Your friend is going to have a really knife day!! Really nice! I LOVE TOPS! I’ve given many to friends when they deploy. You are a good dude. Love the protos… Lilith is NASTY!

[@jamesluther3506]

I think I will get these guys to build my Zombie Barlow😊

[@kiizionogorie4930]

Ginunting means scissor in tagalog..thats the half part of the scissor 😊 thats the Philippine army weapon for close combat/ jungle warfare

[@kiizionogorie4930]

Ginunting comes from Gunting to cut with scissor..Gunting means scissor.*

[@donm2067]

I bought 2 tops knives kast year, they were kinda awkward, I sold them and got a Tkell. Mind you that BOB looms pretty sweet.

[@haveaknifeday]

Sometimes they are the love of your collection and sometimes they are just passing through and occasionally they are the ones that got away.

[@adods9824]

I want that blade in the screen shot!! The chopper with the ring guard, what's it called please? 😁👍🇦🇺

[@haveaknifeday]

The Lilith

[@haveaknifeday]

Doesn’t seem to be released as of yet.

[@hdjnfirnfnhdhdjjdkdk9349]

Great designs but wait until JoeX test them and buy after👍

[@haveaknifeday]

Definitely worth waiting for the proof testing.

[@kiizionogorie4930]

😳😳😳

[@loyalegroup3929]

Damn! That "Lilith" (sp?) makes Dylan look like his Parents just dropped him off at daycare. 😲

[@kozmicflush980]

Hey does anyone know if the Kuma Cage is still available to purchase?

[@haveaknifeday]

I’d say give them a call at Tops actual.

[@haveaknifeday]

Knife center has it on pre-order

[@kozmicflush980]

​@@haveaknifeday Thanks for the reply. Sorry, I'm so late. Getting the itch again to put some serious money down for a serious blade and was reminded about this video! I'm still interested in the Kuma Cage so hopefully i can track one day now or perhaps one of Tops' newer products 👍🏼

[@haveaknifeday]

@kozmicflush980 good hunting. The itch needs to be scratched.

[@FARACI1]

I am extremely interested in the ginunting Filipino knife. You said that was a prototype. When will the production be out? Did they give you any idea of the cost?

[@haveaknifeday]

I just called them and since it is still in the prototype stage there isn’t any further information on it besides what we heard during the video. It is something to keep our eyes on.

[@FARACI1]

@@haveaknifeday most definitely 👍🏽

[@kiizionogorie4930]

Adam Boyce said maybe next year

[@powerplay4real174]

​@@haveaknifeday Yeah that & Lilth both are beastly blades ,TOP's need to sleep those up and get them to production,⚔️🫑🤺

[@haveaknifeday]

People have been champing at the bit for them to be released.

[@butcrack6786]

TOPS trying like hell to get $300 for 1095

[@derekwilmot2776]

lillyth is cool but the finger ring tho idk

[@haveaknifeday]

It would be interesting to know why they felt it needed to be there for the design.

[@kiizionogorie4930]

Agree

[@stonefox9124]

The Storm Vector has a very dangerous finger choil, like if ur not careful you'll squeeze ur finger right into the edge... Maybe had had that in mind idk just a thought. Excessive either way.

[@pinkyellowblue007]

They lost their reputation as a serious knifemaker long ago, youre better off buying an Ontario at 1/3 the price.

[@TheGunsNBlades]

Lol, why? Such a bold statement requires more specifics. Otherwise, get another job and stop being jelly over the price tag

[@pinkyellowblue007]

@@TheGunsNBlades For using the wrong steel on knives like the Operator 7 and bad heat treating.

[@kiizionogorie4930]

I guess you watched joe x 😅

[@SkullySkullmeister]

@@kiizionogorie4930 The Fanboys are just squirming over that comment....LMAO!!

[@alwayson999]

I love tops, but this looks like a bunch of junk

[@haveaknifeday]

It’s always a challenge to bring new designs to a stable that already has a lot of blade styles. It definitely can be a hit or miss with the community.

[@alwayson999]

@@haveaknifeday yes 100% And the really frustrating thing is that some of the best models from Tops can be impossible to find because they are spread too thin making random useless or redundant stuff like this. I love Tops but this has been my experience so many times with them.

[@haveaknifeday]

There are some older designs I’d like to see come back.

[@mariaconcepcionrodriguezhe2850]

I lost some iq listening to u2

[@haveaknifeday]

That’s good, it’ll make standing in the corner licking windows easier for you. 🤣

[@janeindoch]

Worst knives and by far the worst company I've ever dealt with. Avoid tops knives

[@austinpennington2353]

I love tops knives. American-made, sturdy, thick, sharp, decent steel, a few good designs- like what is there not to like?

[@haveaknifeday]

@austinpennington2353 if it makes you happy that is all that matters.

[@3peckeredgoat735]

Waaaaaay over priced knives, don't bother buying a knife from this company.

[@omnamahshivaya6299]

THE CHEAPER THE BETTER HAHA
