Industry News: TOPS Knives Apache Dawn Redux

Here's what they said tell us about it.

A new dawn is here…

A classic design with updated features, the Apache Dawn Rockies Edition is ready for duty. Weighing in at just under one pound, this knife has the heft, speed, and length needed to be an excellent all around combat/field knife. With the harpoon-style tip and the thin swedge, the spine pushes the blade down as it enters its target, making a wider cut and providing good penetration. The black G10 handles with Rocky Mountain Tread and pronounced finger guard give a solid grip, especially when it’s most crucial. As a field knife, the Apache Dawn RE excels. It has a finger choil for controlled cutting, a nice belly to the tip, and a long blade capable of performing a variety of cutting tasks.
