Experience the confidence that comes with carrying a tool forged from expertise and dedication:

Drawing inspiration from VTAC’s legendary designs, the VTAC Norseman knife offers a formidable 5.5" cutting edge on its robust 0.19" thick, full-tang blade. This large tactical fixed blade feels balanced and capable, whether you're chopping wood for camp, processing game, or facing a critical defensive situation. Proudly presented by Kyle Lamb, the VTAC Norseman embodies the warrior spirit – ready for anything, built to endure, and dependable to the core.

- Excellent Knife, Stellar Customer Service
-
This is my 5th Tops knife and I was excited to get it right up until the point that it was stolen from my mailbox... uhg. After failed attempts to file claims with USPS, Tops customer service reached out and offered to replace the knife on their own dime!! You're kidding me right? Nope, it's right here in front of me now and it's incredible. Huge shout out to Tops customer service department for loving their customers and going above and beyond.
The knife: Excellent. I have a few larger ESEE's that have been my go-to for years out in the mountains backpacking. They are perfect for that use, and are beat up in the best way, but i wanted another large fixed blade for more tactile use. Which with my small hands this meant finding something with a handle that wasn't as tall and had more defined finger grooves. This is exactly that. Fits my hand so well and feels "locked in". Craftmanship is incredible as always. Another banger from Tops. The only thing I would personally change is having a taco style kydex sheath (or the option) for a smaller profile when stored.

- The handler is less thick around on the handle giving you a good grip also has an enlarged pommel to prevent the knife from escaping the hand. The two tone colors are amazing. The blood Grove is cool looking. The sheath I'd way better than than nylon ones. (Posted on 8/29/2020)
- It's excellent at what it's designed for. It is also beautiful.
- I bought the Norseman as a knife to mount to my 5.11 Backpack. It being Multicam, the color matched and the molle lock sheath mated up perfectly to the pack. Now onto the knife: It's simply beautiful. The spine work is just so much fun to look at. I love that it carries over into jimping on the top of the blade. I love that the blade is made of 1095 steel. It's durable and can handle anything I need it for. The edge sharpness was perfect out of the box. All things considered, I think this is a phenomenal blade that can accomplish anything I might want to do out in the field. Whether it's cooking, bushcrafting (the design begs you to choke up on the choil for fine detail work) or something more tactically related, it simply does everything right. Props to Viking Tactics and Tops for the excellent collaboration! If you have a cool-guy molle pack, this knife deserves a place on it. (Posted on 8/5/2020)
