SHOP CASE KNIVESThe TOPS Woodcraft Fixed Blade Midnight Bronze is a modern reinterpretation of a true classic. Inspired by the legendary Marble’s Woodcraft, one of the most recognized hunting knives in history, this knife pays homage to the original design while incorporating the rugged build quality and modern materials that TOPS is known for. It bridges tradition and innovation, giving outdoorsmen and collectors a piece that honors the past while being fully capable in today’s field environments.
At its core is a 4.38-inch 1095 carbon steel blade, chosen for its proven toughness and edge retention. Finished with a sleek Midnight Bronze Cerakote, the blade not only stands out visually but also benefits from enhanced corrosion resistance and durability. The blade’s profile mirrors the original Marble’s dimensions, making it instantly familiar to those who appreciate traditional hunting knives, while still delivering modern performance for processing game, camp chores, or bushcraft work.
Built with full tang construction, the Woodcraft delivers strength and reliability from end to end. At 8.75 inches overall and weighing just 7 ounces, it strikes the right balance between portability and capability. Its design remains true to the original proportions, ensuring that classic feel in hand, yet with updated ergonomics and construction details that make it a pleasure to use.
The handle combines rugged functionality with a touch of refinement. Crafted from tan canvas Micarta, it offers durability and an excellent grip in any condition. Black canvas Micarta bolster-style inserts give the knife a distinctive two-tone appearance while reinforcing the handle’s structure. Stainless steel Torx hardware locks everything securely into place, while brass lanyard, lashing, and hanging holes add both practicality and an understated nod to tradition.
Completing the package is a cowboy-style leather sheath, just as the Marble’s original carried. It’s designed for reliable belt carry while staying true to the historic styling that made the Woodcraft iconic. This sheath enhances the overall character of the knife, giving it both a classic aesthetic and practical utility for the modern outdoorsman.
Proudly made in the USA, the TOPS Woodcraft Fixed Blade Midnight Bronze captures the timeless spirit of a classic hunting knife and elevates it with today’s materials and craftsmanship.
