SHOP CASE KNIVESWhen you're after a compact, rugged blade that’s built to tackle serious work without weighing you down, the TOPS Ferret steps up to the plate with style and strength. Designed to be small but mighty, this American-made fixed blade knife delivers everything you need in a daily companion. Featuring a tough-as-nails 1.88-inch spear point blade crafted from 1095 carbon steel, the Ferret is ready for precise cuts, tight work, and quick response when you need it most. The plain edge makes it a breeze to sharpen and maintain, while the black traction-coated finish adds an extra layer of corrosion resistance and reduces unwanted reflections.
With a solid full tang construction running the entire length of its 4.88-inch overall build, the Ferret offers unbeatable durability in a sleek, easy-to-carry package. The .13-inch blade thickness strikes the perfect balance between strength and nimbleness, making it ideal for anyone who demands peak performance from a compact tool. Weighing in at just 2.3 ounces, it practically disappears around your neck or on your belt, but it's always there when the job calls for it.
The Ferret’s handle is crafted from premium black linen Micarta, giving you a secure, confident grip even in wet or challenging conditions. Micarta is well-known for its resilience and its ability to feel comfortable in the hand over long periods of use, and this knife lives up to that reputation. Whether you're out in the woods, handling tasks around the house, or on duty, the Ferret offers a sure and steady feel you can trust.
Carrying this knife is just as impressive as using it. The black Kydex lanyard sheath is slim, lightweight, and tough, keeping the Ferret securely in place while allowing for a smooth, fast draw. You’ll appreciate the thoughtful design that lets you customize how you wear it, whether it's around your neck or tucked discreetly into your gear.
