TOPS Tick

Stop compromising. You need a capable fixed blade for your tackle box or pocket, but traditional boning and filet knives are just too large for everyday carry. The TOPS Tick solves this problem, delivering the precise slicing power of a specialty blade in a compact, discreet package. It’s the perfect EDC fixed blade for the angler, outdoorsman, and prepared citizen who values utility and preparedness without drawing unwanted attention.

• Exceptional Slicing Performance: The thin, narrow blade with its upswept tip and generous belly is perfect for gutting fish, boning small game, and handling any precision cutting task where a sharp edge is essential.
• Secure, All-Day Comfort: Contoured G10 handle scales provide a strong, comfortable grip that won't stain or slip, allowing you to work for extended periods without fatigue, even when conditions are messy.
• Ultimate Pocket Carry: Featuring a minimalist Kydex sheath equipped with an UltiClip, the Tick is designed specifically for secure pocket carry. It stays exactly where you put it, ensuring a fast, reliable draw while leaving room for your other essentials.
• Discreet Utility: While it excels at outdoor and utility tasks, its design serves as a formidable last-ditch defensive tool. Its utilitarian look makes it easy to explain away, giving you a capable backup that doesn't scream "weapon."

The Tick was born from a need for a more portable slicing tool. By shrinking the proven profile of a boning knife and pairing it with durable materials, we created a great pocket-carry workhorse. The tough 1095 high carbon steel is easy to resharpen in the field, ensuring you’re never without a sharp blade. Its unique design is so intuitive and enjoyable to use, you’ll find yourself looking for reasons to get outside just to put it to work. From the tackle box to your daily walk around town, the Tick is the simple, effective fixed blade you’ve been waiting for.

A note on care: The 1095 steel is chosen for its excellent performance. To prevent rust, simply clean, dry, and apply a thin coat of oil/wax after each use.
