The TOPS Fieldcraft by Brothers of Bushcraft, also known as the BOB, is a knife that doesn't just survive in the wild—it thrives there. Built for those who rely on their gear in real-world backcountry conditions, this American-made fixed blade delivers exceptional utility, comfort, and toughness when it matters most. With a 4.75” drop point blade made from 1095 carbon steel and a tumbled finish, the BOB is ready to take on everything from carving and food prep to shelter building and fire making.
1095 carbon steel is a proven performer in survival blades, known for its high toughness, ease of sharpening, and reliability under hard use. The tumbled finish not only adds to its rugged appeal but also helps resist corrosion and hide wear, keeping the blade looking purposeful and field-ready. At .19” thick, this blade isn’t just sharp—it’s strong enough to baton wood and handle demanding bushcraft tasks with ease. Its plain edge and full tang construction ensure consistent performance, giving you confidence when the terrain gets unpredictable.
The handle is wrapped in black canvas Micarta, offering a sure grip that holds up in all weather conditions. Wet, cold, or caked in dirt, Micarta maintains a positive grip and even improves as it wears. Ergonomically shaped with thoughtful contouring, the handle supports long hours of work without creating hot spots or fatigue. A built-in lanyard hole adds versatility, giving you the option to tether the knife for extra security or quick access.
When you're on the move, the included black Kydex sheath keeps the Fieldcraft secure and within reach. It's paired with a rotating spring steel belt clip, allowing you to carry it comfortably in multiple positions, whether you're hiking deep into the backcountry or moving through tight brush. The sheath houses more than just the knife—it also includes a firestarter and emergency whistle, giving you vital tools for survival right at your side.
At 10” overall and weighing in at 9.6 oz., the Fieldcraft offers a balance between heft and manageability. It feels substantial without being cumbersome, ready to handle serious work but still light enough to carry every day in the wild. From creating feather sticks to starting a fire, this knife has been thoughtfully designed by seasoned outdoorsmen who understand what backcountry users truly need.
