TOPS Stryker Defender Tool Fixed Blade Knife TPDEFT01

The TOPS Stryker Defender Tool is a blade built with a clear purpose: to perform when there’s no room for compromise. At its core lies a 4.75-inch 1095 carbon steel spear point blade, a design chosen for its versatility in both piercing and slicing applications. The blade is finished with TOPS’ signature black traction coating, which not only provides a tactical, non-reflective surface but also adds protection against the elements. Along the spine, an aggressive sawback edge offers added utility, giving the knife a dual purpose in the field for sawing or notching when needed.

This knife is crafted from a full tang construction, ensuring strength and stability throughout its entire 10.25-inch length. At 14.4 ounces, it carries a reassuring heft that makes it feel like a serious tool in the hand, yet it’s balanced enough for precision work. The design speaks to the needs of those who rely on their gear in demanding conditions, where failure simply isn’t an option.

The handle is built for control and security. Made from black linen Micarta, it’s both rugged and reliable, offering a grip that stands up to wet, muddy, or gloved hands. TOPS enhances this with their Rocky Mountain tread texture, giving the handle a more aggressive bite for a confident hold. Red inner spacers add a subtle but striking visual detail, while triple rivets lock the scales firmly in place. A lanyard hole fitted with cord rounds out the handle, offering options for retention and carry customization.

Sheath options can make or break a fixed blade, and the Stryker Defender Tool delivers with a ballistic nylon sheath. Designed for real-world use, it’s durable, dependable, and able to keep the knife secure while still offering quick access. Whether riding on a belt or strapped to a pack, the sheath keeps the blade within reach when it’s most needed.

Proudly made in the USA, this knife represents the blend of strength, utility, and craftsmanship that has become synonymous with TOPS Knives. It’s built for those who work in unforgiving conditions, where reliability isn’t a luxury but a requirement. The Stryker Defender Tool doesn’t just carry the name of a defender—it embodies it in every cut, every strike, and every demanding task it faces. Order it today from SMKW!
