I've owned this knife for a little over a year. I have large hands and I wear it as a neck knife. My pinky doesn't fit on the handle but due to the handle design and the micarta I always have a firm grip. It would also be easy to add some Paracord at the bottom to give the pinky something to grip.
I have been hard on the knife and the steel has held up great, it is NOT a true scandi but in my opinion that's a good thing if you're using it for rough tasks.
The sheath is light and the knife won't fall out during use (I take it with me running and have never had an issue). It does rattle a little though. I replaced the chain with Paracord so I can draw it one handed
All in all a fantastic American made knife at a great price.

You still have the original strength of the chain, but any sound is muffled by the paracord sheath. To relieve any excessive strain on the ball chain, brace your thumb against the sheath. On the spine side of course! ;)

Good Idea, use to do this with the chain on my dogtags. keep from getting that rub line from the metal on the chain eating in to the skin.

No doubt. Its definitely my mistake. I got caught up in how it looked in the pic i didnt think to understand its true size. Its a cool little knife. Just wish i didnt pay $60+ for it

Agreed. And I meant no disrespect--just pointing out that it is funny how people do prefer different things for different reasons. Even with your point on the blade length--I totally understand where you are coming from with having a larger blade and more leverage, but I also feel more comfortable and like I have more control with a smaller blade (and that may have to do with a lack of experience with a knife). But I also think that you are probably doings tasks that I rarely, if ever do. And that if I had to do a lot of cutting I may get to the point where I prefer a bigger blade as well.

JeremyHeldDifferent strokes for different folks.
Personal preference is huge in the knife world. Something I love may be despised by everyone around me.
The way I look at it, if it is comfortable and does the jobs I want it to then I may like it. Blade steel aside, those are the big two for me. Looks coming in fourth place of course.
This knife I really do like, but I can't find a "need" for it. I have handled one and it feels great, has one of my favorite steels, looks great too!

well I received my knife........its a shit show. I literally feel wronged. Maybe i shouldn't write this while mad but o well. first off i got the one pictured above, Rockies edition. see the beautiful handle scales? well mine are not like that....they are slathered in gook and you cant see any patterning cuz of this wax garbage all over my handle. Now the handle screws are all mucked up and some look stripped can they not use the right sized allen key when putting them together? and lastly my edge looks nothing like the one pictured it has swirls along the whole edge comin up over a quarter inch from the relief. looks like someone spun a wire wheel up and down the edge of the blade. Im really let down by this knife. either tops sent you factory seconds or there quality has went to absolute ****. Im disgusted to see made in America bill-boarded on the side of this disaster. 70 plus for this? no never!

ArayHe shouldn't have even made an attempt to clean it up. Just take pictures, share them with the community, then contact massdrop for a refund. The end.
If you don't contact them direct, you can't expect them to monitor all discussion pages for complaints and hope they reach out to you

Same price online with free shipping and no waiting. Get it together MD. Not even drops anymore, just average prices with shipping delays. No thanks.

Going for the Morakniv Compainion deal. Better deal and just as tough a knife. Tops are overpriced in my opinion. Nice looking blade though.

Well, if you did an extreme torture test the Tops would probably win in the end. So let me put it this way. I have never had a Mora fail me in any task I used it for. It is easy sharpen and holds an edge well. It is a knife I can depend on. So for me the Mora wins in price/performance. I have custom knives that cost a lot more than the Tops and cost less and I love them all. Nothing against the Tops. Nice knife and looks good. Just not for me at that price point.

Unless you are working in very cold weather where touching steel is not for for your skin.
Hidden tangs knives are very capable.

It should be noted that the handles/scales have different material components (some linen, some canvas), with one option being G10:
- Black/Black - Black linen micarta (red liners)
- Black/Tan - Tan canvas micarta (tan liners, as far as I can tell)
- Tan/Black survival - Black linen micarta (red liners)
- Steel/Tan Rockies - Green canvas micarta (white liners)
- Black/Green and Black - Green and black G10 (red liners)

wibblesI care and thank you for making this comment. Even if it was a long time ago.
I love my Tops Mini Scandi Folder, but expected the tan canvas micarta it came with to be a bit softer than it was. Unlike most other knives I own with canvas micarta, the matte canvas seemed to be more rigid. And while it looks great, it does not give me that extra grip when my hands are wet, sweaty or covered with a bit of oil. It has more the feel of smooth g-10 rather than a hard pressed fabric.

Hmm:
$62.49 from MD, you get the knife in a month
vs
$63.89 from Amazon, you get the knife in five days
A small scandi in 1095 would be super fun for whittling and this looks like it would also make a neat, robust bird and trout knife. Big kudos to Massdrop for featuring some great knives from great makers. But a bummer that you can get the same knife without the wait for $1.40 more elsewhere.

This is a fantastic, robust knife design (and compact size) and is a MUST for any true Tops Knives fan!
It makes a superb kit blade and is absolutely worth the price. I applaud MD for making this available. 👏🏼
