Knife Review: TOPS Smoke Jumper
Published: 12 years ago
One of the few fixed blades I own, this beast has taken the place of my new zombie apocolypse knife.
BY PURE DEFINITION, THE SMOKE JUMPER IS A WILD LAND FIREFIGHTER, THAT PARACHUTES
INTO A REMOTE AREA TO COMBAT WILDFIRES. THESE INDIVIDUALS GO THROUGH A VERY
TOUGH AND STRENUOUS TRAINING COURSE, WHICH MANY DO NOT COMPLETE...
ALL IN ALL THIS JOB HAS BEEN GLAMORIZED IN MANY MOVIES, BUT IT IS DIFFICULT
BACKBREAKING WORK, THAT MAY BE VERY DANGEROUS...
THIS KNIFE/TOOL WAS DESIGNED WITH THE SMOKE JUMPER IN MIND..SPECIFICALLY ITS EXTRA
THICK TIP DESIGN IS PERFECT FOR DEEP PENETRATION AND SPLITTING, BATONING AND PRYING IF REQUIRED. ITS DESIGN FURTHER ENABLES THE USER TO MAKE STRONG, DOWNWARD
STROKES FOR MAXIMUM CUTTING AND PENETRATION.
O/A Length: 11 3/4"
Blade Length: 6 1/2"
Cutting Edge: 5 7/8"
Thickness: 1/4"
Weight: 22oz
Sheath: Kydex With a Rotating Steel Spring Clip
Mfg. Handcrafted in the USA
