I did search,but to no avail.Anyone have a Tops Rangers Edge in their collection?If so would you post something about it? I have gone ahead with an order of one.For me it would be a carry on the job Defensive tool. Thanks,Carry ok.

those.I ordered one,but just cannot find any thing by way of a 'review'.I was thinking someone might have one in their collection,and would care to critique it.

I've handled them quite a bit, just never bought one. They are far superior in steel and edge to the classic Gerber MkII. I'm not sure if they still have the pry-tip on the butt, but that was my only dissatisfaction- it gets in the way of capping, and the grip isn't long enough to make real prying both safe and effective.

Rob,I really want it strictly for wearing on shift at work,specifically night,and graveyard shifts.I have to go into risky areas to do my job.I thought it looked a kickbutt additional device for defense after my carry firearm.

TOP's have always seemed overpriced to me for what you get.I would also personally prefer a more utility style knife I like R.A.T
get the RC5 RAT Cutlery Co.
or RC4 RAT Cutlery Co.

as to the steepness of the price.Part of my decision to buy was the 'made in America' stamp.But I got a lower price than all others I have seen on the 'net' at Knife Trek.

RAT is also made in the USA but all that count is that you are happy with your purchase

I've never really heard anything bad about TOPS and the RAT Cutlery stuff is good also. You might also consider something from Ranger Knives http://www.rangerknives.com/
