TOPS Viper Scout Red-Black G10 4.13in Plain Black Drop Point TPVPSR2

The TOPS Viper Scout is a fixed blade knife built for reliability, performance, and versatility in demanding field environments. Designed by Leo Espinoza, Vice President of TOPS Knives, this model combines rugged functionality with refined craftsmanship. At its core is a 4.13-inch drop point blade made from 1095 high carbon steel—an ideal choice for heavy-duty outdoor use due to its edge retention and toughness. The blade is finished with TOPS’ black traction coating for enhanced corrosion resistance and reduced reflectivity, making it well-suited for tactical and survival scenarios.

The full-tang construction ensures maximum durability and strength, while the ergonomically contoured black and red G-10 handle provides a secure grip in any weather condition. Featuring the Rocky Mountain Tread pattern, the handle is optimized for traction and control, even in wet or gloved hands. At just 5.8 ounces and 8.75 inches overall, the Viper Scout strikes a balance between portability and performance, making it an excellent companion for hunters, hikers, backpackers, and preppers.

Leo Espinoza incorporated design features specifically aimed at field utility. The knife’s profile and balance allow for precise control during detailed tasks, while the robust spine and belly of the blade offer power and penetration when needed. The included black leather sheath is crafted for comfortable belt carry, keeping the knife close to the body for easy access in the field. The sheath’s high-quality leather and solid stitching reflect the same attention to detail as the knife itself.

Proudly made in the USA, the Viper Scout embodies the mission behind TOPS Knives: to create dependable tools for those who rely on their gear in real-world situations. Born from a heritage of service to the military, law enforcement, and survival professionals, this knife continues that tradition while meeting the needs of today’s outdoor adventurers.

The Viper Scout’s sleek profile shouldn’t fool anyone—it’s built to perform as hard as you do, no matter where your path leads.
