TOPS Knives 3 Pointer Fixed Blade Knife - 3.13" 1095 High Carbon Steel Black Traction Coated Blade - Black Canvas Micarta Handle (3PR-01)
Product Description
If you've been looking to replace your daily folding pocket knife with a compact, ultra-reliable fixed blade, TOPS Knives designed the 3 Pointer (3PR-01) with you in mind. Engineered by TOPS President Leo Espinoza, the 3 Pointer strikes the perfect balance between featherlight everyday carry comfort and field-proven hunting utility. Sized just right to handle everything from opening boxes at the jobsite to field-dressing small game, fish, and fowl, it delivers zero-fail dependability without taking up extra space on your gear.
The business end of the knife features a 3.13-inch drop point blade forged from classic American 1095 high-carbon steel. Ground with a versatile flat profile, 1095 steel is famous for taking a keen, razor-sharp edge in the field and touching up effortlessly when work is done. The blade stock measures a lean 1/8" (0.125") thick, making it a slicer that cuts cleanly without wedging. To protect the steel against rust and minimize glare, the entire blade is coated in TOPS' signature Black Traction finish. Generous spine jimping right above the thumb ramp gives you extra grip leverage for detail work.
For an unshakeable purchase, the full-tang chassis is fitted with ergonomic Black Canvas Micarta handle scales. Micarta is renowned for its durability and unique ability to gain extra grip traction when wet or sweaty, giving you complete knife control in any weather. Accompanied by a custom black Kydex sheath equipped with versatile Beta Loop straps and a neck chain, the USA-made 3 Pointer gives you total freedom to carry it on your belt, inside your waistband, scout-style, or around your neck.
*Bench Notes & Field Care Guidance:*
Forged from 1095 high-carbon steel, the 3 Pointer delivers fantastic edge retention and impact toughness, but requires basic moisture care. While the Black Traction Coating protects the main body of the blade, keep the exposed cutting edge clean and dry after skinning game, processing fish, or slicing acidic materials. Applying a thin coat of food-safe mineral oil or protective lube occasionally keeps rust away. The Black Canvas Micarta scales need virtually no maintenance, but can be washed with warm soapy water if dirt or field oils accumulate over time.
