TPARM01 Tops Armado 6.5 Tan Micarta Handle 1095 Carbon Blade Kydex Sheath Made USA

TOPS has been working with outside designers almost as long as we’ve been in business. This helps us keep a fresh take on designs and bring in knives that appeal to just about anyone out there. The Armado 6.5 is from Navarrete Knives (Josh Navarrete). He is a custom knife maker from Oregon who is a “Forged in Fire” champion and has a good eye for function and aesthetics.

This knife is the grandchild of a design that Josh developed over several years. “I have always wanted to design a knife that would embrace a simple rule that has been my mantra " Make it and keep it simple but efficient". It’s a pretty simple design once you boil it down but fills the requirements Josh had for it. The high grind gives great edge geometry for cutting food, wood, and other materials. The large size gives it strength for outdoor uses. The handle is contoured and shaped to provide a solid grip for chopping, but still comfortable for delicate cuts. So from the campsite, to the kitchen, to processing game, this blade can do it all.
