TOPS Dawn Warrior [DW-33]

TOPS Dawn Warrior [DW-33]

Noted writer Jerry Van Cook, wrote in Tactical Knives Magazine: "Tactical Operational Knives ( TOPS ) have a distinctive look about them. When you see one, you immediately know it's from TOPS because their very essence shouts "ALL ABOUT BUSINESS." On a trip to the Peruvian Amazon, Jerry carried the Dawn Warrior and wrote: "La Selva (THE JUNGLE), however, was a real proving ground. The Dawn Warrior was my only blade and it was constantly wet with a combination of rain, humidity, and human perspiration. It cut everything from paracord, rope, and vines to the sleeves off of two long-sleeved T-shirts. Upon Jerry's' return from the jungle, he called TOPS and said "I think it might be even better suited for self-defense" and so the story went on.

If you need a knife you can count on in combat and in survival situations, the Dawn Warrior better be on your list. The 3/16" thick full tang blade can take the abuse you've come to expect from all TOPS Knives and the black linen micarta handle scales are durable and strong. Clifford and features a handle that has two sections of thumb jimping and a forward positioned index choil for choking up on the blade for those delicate tasks. Includes Kydex sheath with rotating steel spring clip.

4 1/2" 1095 high carbon steel blade with black traction coating.
