Tops TPCUT40A-BRK Cut Combat Utility Tool Knife, Black

I was looking for a new fixed blade knife for EDC concealed and open carry (I live in Florida and laws vary by state - check yours!) I researched many different blades and styles, and price ranges. For something that I may bet my life on between $100 and $200 is worth it. I like the slightly curved handle, and especially like the drawing of the knife into a Forward Grip or Reverse Grip from EDU. The sheath allows for various style of carrying. The blade and handle appear to be very well made. One of the deciding factors for this knife was the particular hardness of steel, 1095HC steel, that the blade is. It is not so hard to be brittle and hard to sharpen, and it's not too soft to nick, bend or dull quickly either. It is right in the middle of those things and allows the holding of an edge yet will work on harder cutting things. The blade will penetrate when needed and slash/cut also if held correctly and used correctly. I have now worn it for a couple of weeks and it is comfortable and easy to carry. And I worked with it for a few days (practiced drawing and slashing/ stabbing techniques before I carried it. I really like it and will post an update if that changes or I discover anything either outstanding or negative I have not seen yet.

Like this knife so much I bought another one for a great price on Amazon! Definitely sharp right out of the packaging and top, top quality!!

I have a bunch of Tops knives for one reason I can’t destroy them. They have passed test after test and with a little oil and sharpening they are good to go. It’s a solid knife in your hands that is ready to do damage.

Wow 😲! My mind has been Blown! This "Combat Utility Tool" is superior! Tops hit it out of tha pahk with this 4" saybah ground, karambit style blade. It came hair splitting sharp right out of the box! Multiple options for carry. Oh, did I mention Tops updated their whistles and are now Aluminum!!! Look at my pics. This is perfect for EDC. A full combat knife with strong utility and tactical applications. Exceeded my expectations 210%!

This is my first TOPS knife but I will be acquiring many more. I have many knives from higher end suppliers but this thing is a beast. Yes, it's very sharp and yes it's ergonomic, has cool micarta handles, has nice hand feel, blah blah blah. What you don't grasp until you hold it is how massive this thing is. I read other reviews saying the same thing but, once you hold it in your hand... I have chisels that aren't this thick or sturdy. Nice weapon TOPS and thanks for over-building. I have found my first indestructible blade.

Very happy with the knife. Not so much the carrying sheath. One of the riveted snap buttons broke. Now what?

This is a great knife. The handle feels amazing in hand with great texture. The kydex sheath fit and finish is excellent. It's the goldilocks knife for me. Not to big and not to small. Tops is top notch! I do recommend this knife.

this is my second cut 4.0 and i just love it . first one i gifted to a friend and was missing it alot so i needed to re add this bad boy to my collection and rotation. this one is home to stay and my favorite edc to date. joshua swanagon and tops hit it out of the park with this blade.

If you value the karambit style knife, you should love this one. I own about a half dozen, and this one has the best feel in the hand of any I own. The drop point makes it actually useful. The black handle was what pushed my purchase over the top, the tan is nice but I prefer the dark, more subdued colour. It's quite a big knife for an EDC, but am enjoying carrying it everyday. I truly prize this design. Kudos to Tops on producing this model.
