Firestrike 45
For Operators without borders
The Firestrike is a fantastic choice for survival and tactical situations.
The Firestrike 45 has been part of the TOPS Knives lineup for over two decades, and it is still trusted worldwide because it works. Built with a bayonet-style point, a quarter-inch thick full tang, and 1095 high carbon steel, this knife was designed for hard field use where failure is not an option. It is big, heavy, and dependable, exactly what military personnel and outdoorsmen ask for when they need a knife that can do it all.
- 7" 1095 high carbon steel blade: delivers the penetration, chopping power, and toughness demanded in survival and combat environments.
- Quarter-inch thick full tang: gives the knife the strength to withstand prying, batoning, and brutal field tasks without compromise.
- Black linen Micarta handle: secure grip that holds steady in wet, cold, or gloved hands.
- Black traction coating: protects against glare and adds resistance to corrosion during extended use.
- Kydex sheath with rotating steel clip: carry it how you want and access it fast when you need it.
MSG Kim Breed, retired 5th Special Forces, put the Firestrike through its paces and called it “designed for all situations” in Blade Magazine. That was back in 2001, and those words still hold true today. Over the years, this knife has proven itself in combat zones, on deployments, and deep in the wilderness. Its reputation comes from years of field use and the trust of those who carry it.
Made in the USA and backed by TOPS’ reputation, the Firestrike 45 is a classic that continues to deliver. Keep the 1095 carbon steel maintained with a light coat of oil and it will stay ready for decades. For anyone who wants a blade that commands respect and holds up under the worst conditions, the Firestrike 45 is the standard.

I wish the Firestrike 45 was available when I was in the Corps. There would have been no need for me to carry a KaBar.
This knife is a perfect mix of combat knife and a survival knife. (Posted on 7/11/2021)
