TOPS UTE 02 TPUTE02

The TOPS UTE 02 is a compact fixed blade built for those who value strength and reliability in a streamlined design. With its shorter profile and lightweight build, this knife proves that small doesn’t mean less capable. It’s made to handle everyday cutting tasks as easily as more demanding outdoor work, making it a versatile tool for professionals, adventurers, and prepared individuals alike.

At the core of the UTE 02 is a 3-inch 1095 carbon steel drop point blade. Known for its toughness and edge retention, 1095 is a steel trusted by serious knife users for decades. The blade is coated in TOPS’ rugged black traction finish, which adds corrosion resistance while reducing glare in the field. Its drop point profile offers a balance of precision and strength, allowing it to pierce, slice, and carve with ease. Whether you’re opening packages, prepping campfire kindling, or handling small survival chores, this blade is designed to deliver.

The knife’s full tang construction ensures durability from blade tip to handle base, giving you the confidence to put it through real use without compromise. At just 6.5 inches overall and 3.9 ounces, the UTE 02 is compact enough for easy everyday carry, yet stout enough to handle heavier work when needed.

Its handle is crafted from black linen Micarta, a material chosen for both its rugged durability and excellent grip. Even in wet or cold conditions, Micarta remains reliable, ensuring your hold stays firm and comfortable. The handle is shaped for ergonomics, making extended use easier without sacrificing control.

To complete the package, the UTE 02 comes with a black Kydex sheath, adding only modest weight for a total carry weight of 5.5 ounces. The sheath provides secure retention while allowing quick access when needed, making it practical for belt carry or pack attachment. Together, the sheath and knife form a compact system that’s ready to go wherever your day takes you.

The TOPS UTE 02 embodies efficiency, toughness, and utility in a small but capable platform. Whether you’re carrying it as a primary blade for light duty or as a reliable backup to a larger knife, it’s a tool designed to perform. Order it today from Smoky Mountain Knife Works!
