The TOPS Brothers of Bushcraft (BOB) Tan is a purpose-built fixed blade designed for those who refuse to compromise when they're miles from civilization. Developed with input from experienced survival experts, this American-made workhorse delivers the strength, reliability, and versatility needed for everything from camp chores to emergency situations. Whether you're processing firewood, building shelter, preparing game, or tackling demanding outdoor tasks, the BOB is built to perform when it matters most.
Its 4.75-inch drop point blade is crafted from proven 1095 carbon steel, a favorite among outdoorsmen for its exceptional toughness, edge retention, and ease of sharpening in the field. The plain edge handles slicing, carving, and controlled cuts with confidence, while the .19-inch blade thickness provides the durability needed for heavy-duty work. A rugged black traction coating helps protect the blade from wear and corrosion while minimizing glare, making it equally suited for wilderness adventures and hard-use utility.
Full tang construction gives the Brothers of Bushcraft outstanding strength from tip to pommel, ensuring dependable performance under demanding conditions. The tan canvas Micarta handle delivers a secure, comfortable grip in wet, cold, or dry environments, allowing for excellent control during prolonged use. A built-in lanyard hole adds another layer of versatility, giving you additional carry and retention options when conditions become challenging.
At 10 inches overall and weighing 5.6 ounces, the BOB strikes an ideal balance between portability and capability. It rides securely in a durable black Kydex sheath equipped with a rotating clip, allowing you to mount it comfortably on your belt, pack, or outdoor gear for quick access whenever the job calls.
