The TOPS Wind Runner is a compact fixed blade designed for hunters, survivalists, and everyday adventurers who demand high performance in a low-profile package. With a 3.5” plain edge modified drop point blade forged from 1095 carbon steel and protected by a durable tungsten Cerakote finish, this American-made knife is ready to handle precision cutting tasks without sacrificing toughness. It’s a reliable companion whether you’re skinning game, carving wood, or working through your daily carry needs in the field.
The modified drop point blade offers just the right amount of belly for slicing, while the fine tip excels in detail work. At .13” thick, it’s stout enough to hold up under pressure but nimble enough for tight cuts and controlled work. The 1095 carbon steel construction provides outstanding edge retention and sharpness, and when paired with the Cerakote coating, it resists corrosion and wear, keeping the blade looking sharp and mission-ready no matter the conditions.
The Wind Runner is built with a full tang construction that runs the length of its 6.25” body, giving it impressive strength for its size. It’s finished with green canvas Micarta handle scales that not only look great but also deliver a confident grip in wet, cold, or gritty environments. Micarta is known for its durability and texture, and it complements the knife’s tough yet refined personality. A lanyard hole at the rear of the handle gives you the option to add cordage or a bead for easier retrieval and added security.
At just 4 oz., the Wind Runner carries effortlessly, whether it’s around your neck, on your belt, or stashed in a pack. The included black Kydex dangler sheath offers versatile carry options while keeping the knife firmly secured and easy to access. The dangler loop moves naturally with your body, making it ideal for hiking, sitting, or transitioning from camp to trail without getting in the way. And for those who prefer a neck knife setup, the size and weight make it a natural fit for discreet, lightweight carry beneath your shirt or gear.
Proudly made in the USA, the Wind Runner reflects the craftsmanship, quality, and attention to detail that have made TOPS Knives a trusted name in the field. Every angle and feature of this knife has been carefully considered to provide real-world functionality in a streamlined form. It’s not just about being compact—it’s about being capable, versatile, and dependable when you're off the beaten path.
