SHOP CASE KNIVESThe TOPS C.U.T. 4.0 (Combat Utility Tool) is a purpose-driven fixed blade built for those who demand performance, resilience, and versatility in every situation. Designed with real-world application in mind, this knife bridges the gap between tactical readiness and practical field use. Whether you’re deployed, in the backcountry, or handling daily tasks that require a dependable edge, the C.U.T. 4.0 delivers.
The 4.25-inch drop point blade is forged from 1095 high carbon steel, a proven material known for its toughness and edge retention. Finished with TOPS’ signature black traction coating, the blade resists corrosion and glare while adding a layer of protection against the elements. The drop point design offers a robust tip and generous belly, ideal for both piercing and slicing tasks.
Full tang construction ensures the knife can take hard use without compromise, and the ergonomics have been carefully refined for extended carry and use. The handle is crafted from dark tan canvas Micarta, a rugged and weather-resistant material that offers excellent grip even in wet conditions. The sculpted shape and pronounced finger choil give you maximum control and comfort, while the integrated finger ring enhances retention and opens up multiple carry and deployment options—especially in high-stress situations.
At 8.5 inches overall and weighing in at 9 ounces, the C.U.T. 4.0 strikes the perfect balance between heft and maneuverability. It’s substantial enough to tackle demanding tasks, yet compact and agile enough for quick deployment and detailed work.
Every knife comes with a black Kydex sheath fitted with belt loops for secure and customizable carry. The sheath also includes an emergency whistle, offering an extra level of preparedness that sets this knife apart. Whether on duty, in the wild, or simply prepared for the unexpected, the TOPS C.U.T. 4.0 is a no-nonsense blade that’s ready to perform.
