TOPS Bird and Trout Knife TPBTK02

The TOPS Bird and Trout Knife is a versatile field companion built for hunters, anglers, and outdoorsmen who demand performance in every task. Designed by Allen “the Axeman” Jensen, a seasoned survivalist and outdoors expert, this knife draws from years of experience in the field. Its 3.38-inch 440C stainless steel blade is crafted with a stonewash finish that enhances durability while reducing reflection. Stainless steel construction ensures excellent corrosion resistance, making it particularly well-suited for wet environments where reliability is essential.

The drop point profile offers a balance of control and utility. With its carefully considered shape, the Bird and Trout excels in fine detail work such as cleaning fish or processing small game. The handle design is where Jensen’s expertise truly shines. Engineered for multiple grip options, the knife adapts to varied tasks effortlessly. Held upside down with the thumb in the choil, it provides the precision needed to clean fish without puncturing entrails. Using the “Nesmuk Hump” grip—with the index finger behind the blade and the thumb braced on the handle notch—it becomes an efficient skinner for tougher hides such as bear or beaver. With a standard grip, its compact frame transitions seamlessly to camp chores or even kitchen use, making it one of the most versatile knives in its class.

Built on a full tang for maximum strength, the knife is fitted with black canvas Micarta scales that offer a rugged, secure hold. Micarta’s textured feel ensures dependable grip in wet or gloved hands, while its durability makes it nearly impervious to field abuse. At 6.75 inches overall, the Bird and Trout maintains a lightweight, easy-to-carry profile without sacrificing toughness. Every blade is etched with “BTK By Allen Jensen,” marking its authenticity and heritage.

For carry, the knife includes a black leather belt loop sheath that keeps it close at hand and protected when not in use. Rugged yet refined, the sheath pairs well with the knife’s practical, no-nonsense design. Proudly made in the USA, the Bird and Trout is a tool designed by an outdoorsman for outdoorsmen, blending thoughtful ergonomics with proven materials to deliver years of reliable service.
