TOPS Knives Sneaky Pete Fixed Blade Knife

One of the first knives in the TOPS lineup, the Sneaky Pete puts emphasis on ergonomics and utility. The blade, a recurved clip-point, is great for piercing and slashing—and there’s enough belly for control when slicing. At 3.5 inches long, it’s not too large and not too small. The 1095 steel makeup provides good edge retention (but the blade will need to be kept clean). Micarta scales provide a reliable grip in rain or muck—not to mention the shape of the handle has a large finger choil for extra comfort. The spine of the Sneaky Pete, where the blade meets the handle, is arced upwards with jimping for the thumb, too. This gives you extra leverage when the going gets rough. If you want something much more barebones, opt for the Sneaky Pete Mini. Both come with a kydex sheath.
