SHOP CASE KNIVESThe TOPS Trail Seeker is a purpose-driven fixed blade built for those who value strength, balance, and reliability in the field. Designed by Luis Murillo, this knife embodies both functionality and craftsmanship, offering a tool that performs as well in rugged backcountry environments as it does in everyday outdoor tasks. At the heart of the Trail Seeker is a 4.5-inch 1095 high carbon steel blade, a material chosen for its toughness and ability to take a razor-sharp edge. The blade’s drop point design provides a versatile cutting profile, capable of handling everything from precision slicing to heavier utility work. Finished with TOPS’ signature black traction coating, it’s protected against the elements and ready for extended use in demanding conditions.
This knife features full tang construction, ensuring strength from blade to pommel and giving the user confidence in its ability to withstand hard use. At 9.38 inches overall and weighing 8.9 ounces, the Trail Seeker strikes an ideal balance between size and portability, making it large enough to tackle serious tasks yet light enough for comfortable carry on long treks.
The handle is crafted from green Micarta, a material known for its durability and superior grip in all conditions. Textured and contoured for comfort, the handle ensures secure control whether your hands are wet, cold, or gloved. Black-coated stainless steel hardware locks the handle scales firmly in place, adding to the knife’s rugged aesthetic while reinforcing its work-ready build. A lanyard hole at the base of the handle provides additional carry and retention options, a practical feature for those working in unpredictable environments.
Each Trail Seeker comes with an individually serialized number and a certificate of authenticity, marking its place as a limited edition release. This detail not only highlights its collectability but also emphasizes the attention to detail and pride put into its production. For carry, the knife includes a black Kydex sheath with a belt loop, offering dependable retention, protection, and quick access when you need it most.
With its thoughtful design, quality materials, and limited edition status, the TOPS Trail Seeker is more than just a cutting tool—it’s a dependable companion for serious outdoorsmen, collectors, and anyone who requires a knife built for real-world use. Order it today from Smoky Mountain Knife Works!
