Multi-Duty Steak Knives
TOPS’ new Tactical Steak knives—because sometimes steaks or stakes can be as tough as the enemy!
Probably the first question many readers are going to have is “What the heck is ‘tactical’ about a steak knife?” Well, I don’t know if this is what TOPS meant, but a few years ago an individual well known in the firearms and cutlery publishing business gave me some advice. It seems that after trade show dinners he often found himself walking back to his hotel in strange towns. Whenever he felt the least bit uncomfortable about the walk he would pocket a “steak knife” from the restaurant and then ditch it at the hotel. Most of the better steakhouses serve their steaks with a 4- or 5-inch bladed knife that sports a fair amount of belly on a straight back, large comfortable wood handle, and usually serrations out near the point. In other words, something like a TOPS Tactical Steak Knife.
No Steak Too Tough
TOPS’ knife offers a 4-inch blade of 440C stainless with a “black traction coating.” In keeping with its true function, the blade is only 5/32-inch thick. The handle is black linen Micarta and all knives come with a Kydex sheath. Both straight-edged and point-serrated versions are available. Given steak knives are frequently bought in sets, TOPS has priced the model at a very reasonable one for $99, 2 for $79, or 6 for $59 each.
