TOPS C.U.M.A. KAGE Fixed Blade Tan Micarta 15.5in 1095 Bush Sword TPKAGE-01

The TOPS C.U.M.A. KAGE Fixed Blade Tan Micarta 15.5in 1095 Bush Sword solves a common field problem: lightweight blades that flex, dull quickly, or outright fail when real work starts. When you’re clearing thick brush, prepping a campsite, or managing demanding outdoor conditions, you need controlled mass and reliability—not a decorative blade that gives up under pressure.

Designed by Sijo Waysun Johnny Tsai for TOPS Knives, this tool feels purposeful the moment it’s in hand. The balance eliminates that harsh vibration cheaper machetes produce, and the weight works with you instead of against you, turning demanding chopping or clearing into a smoother, more efficient task.

 In practical use, the KAGE integrates naturally into a bushcraft or field workflow: the 15.5-inch cutting edge clears overgrowth quickly, the 1095 high-carbon steel maintains edge retention through repeated strikes, and the roughly 35.5-ounce weight delivers forward momentum that reduces repeated swing fatigue. Instead of juggling a machete, hatchet, and defensive blade, users can streamline gear while maintaining dependable cutting performance.

Scannable Benefits
• Faster brush clearing and wood processing, saving time and energy in the field
• Greater structural integrity than thin machetes, reducing breakage risk
• Improved edge retention for fewer sharpening interruptions
• Forward-weighted balance enhances cutting power while limiting fatigue

 At 23.75 inches overall with a 0.25-inch thick full-tang construction, this bush sword provides the reach and strength needed for clearing, chopping, and controlled batoning without the flex common in thinner blades. The RC 56–58 heat-treated 1095 steel offers durability with practical sharpenability, while the black traction coating protects against corrosion and glare during extended outdoor exposure. Tan and black canvas Micarta handle scales stay secure even when wet or muddy, and the included Kydex sheath with leather dangler allows stable carry on packs or belts, keeping deployment fast and workflow uninterrupted, whether you’re building shelter, clearing obstacles, or managing recovery tasks.
