SHOP CASE KNIVESThe TOPS Knives Bartender Defender XL is a rugged yet compact fixed-blade knife built for everyday utility. Designed in response to user feedback, this model takes the original Bartender Defender’s proven performance and refines it with a longer blade while maintaining its lightweight, easy-to-carry profile. At just 4.63 inches overall and weighing only 1.6 ounces, it delivers full-size functionality in a streamlined neck knife design.
Crafted from durable 1095 carbon steel, the 2.13-inch drop point blade boasts a tumble finish and a clear Cerakote coating to resist corrosion, ensuring longevity in tough conditions. The full-tang skeletonized handle keeps weight to a minimum while maintaining a strong grip. Built for those who need a reliable cutting tool on hand, the Bartender Defender XL excels at opening packages, slicing materials, and handling quick cutting tasks in the field or at home.
One of its standout features is the integrated bottle opener, which can be used even while the knife remains in its sheath—a practical improvement over the original design. This addition makes it a convenient choice for those who appreciate a multi-functional tool without added bulk. The included black Kydex neck sheath, complete with a bead chain lanyard, ensures secure and comfortable carry, allowing for quick access when needed.
