Fireman's Backup
Hard to the Core
Blade Magazine - September 2007 Cover story "Cut and Crash" with a big photo to boot.
Noted Outdoorsmen, Scout Leader, and knife and ax designer, Allen Jensen spent a great deal of time digesting and analyzing information received from the Bureau of Land Management, Forest Service, and Hot Shot Crews (highly trained wild-land firefighters), so they could have a little something extra with the Fireman's Backup.
The article noted that in addition to use of the Fireman's Backup by fire departments, SWAT teams, and government agencies, TOPS has also sent the axes directly to special military units that use them as forced-entry tools.
