Storm Rider - 250th Anniversary Edition

When quitting is not an option and failure means catastrophe, military professionals need a blade that refuses to break. For operators outside the wire and tactical enthusiasts who demand unyielding strength, thin blades simply do not make the cut. You need a tool designed for the fighters that do not back down.

The Storm Rider is one of the earliest models ever produced by TOPS, originally designed by founder Mike Fuller to be a highly effective combat tool. Fans have begged for it to come out of retirement for years. Now, to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States, this heavy-duty workhorse is back for a limited, one-time serialized run. It delivers the same old-school tactical nostalgia, updated with a proprietary gray finish and striking anniversary engraving.

Its performance comes from these key design elements:

• Oversized, Well-Contoured Handle: The long handle features thick G10 scales with a diamond pattern tread and a large radius. This design fits almost any adult hand, locking firmly into your grip when things get intense.
• Classic Combat Blade Profile: The straight edge portion provides controlled cutting and slashing, while the generous belly tackles heavy utility tasks. A tapered swedge aids in deep penetration without weakening the tip, and two saw teeth on the spine allow for quick notching and scoring.
• Massive 1/4-Inch Thick Tang: Built from thick 1095 steel, this blade eliminates the fear of breakage during heavy utility tasks like batoning or opening ammo cans. The proprietary gray powder coat prevents rust while keeping the finish clean and rugged.

This is a rare chance to own a piece of TOPS history. The Storm Rider 250TH represents everything the company was built on: making heavy-duty tools that men and women in uniform can trust with their lives. Special Ops trust TOPS, and this serialized edition is ready for your collection or your kit.

Please Note: This blade is built from 1095 carbon steel. To prevent rust, clean the blade immediately after use, dry it completely, and apply a light coat of gun oil or wax before storing. Do not store it in the sheath for extended periods.
