TOPS Knives Storm Rider – America 250th Anniversary – Black & Tan Micarta – TPSR78250
The TOPS Knives Storm Rider 250th Anniversary Edition (TPSR78250) represents a premium milestone in tactical cutlery, celebrating 250 years of the United States (1776 to 2026). For over a decade, the original Storm Rider architecture has been trusted globally by military operators, tactical law enforcement, and specialized security details due to its uncompromising, hard-use construction. This highly collectible 2026 commemorative variant (816411026474) honors American heritage with an official "United States of America 250, Est. 1776" medallion emblem precision-etched into the blade flats, making it an essential centerpiece for both historical collectors and field users alike.
Forged to "hard-to-the-core" standards in the Rocky Mountains, the Storm Rider features a massive 7.5-inch Hunter's Point blade sculpted from a quarter-inch (0.250") thick slab of 1095 high-carbon steel. Heat-treated to a dependable RC 56-58, the blade is treated with TOPS' signature non-reflective Black Traction Coating to optimize corrosion resistance and eliminate low-light glint. This anniversary framework introduces exclusive layered Black and Tan Canvas Micarta handle scales, distinct from the standard black linen versions. Built on a robust full-tang platform, the handle features deep index finger grooves, ergonomic thumb-rest jimping, and exposed rear tang notches to provide a slip-free mechanical lock in mud, blood, or freezing rain. Shipped with a heavy-duty tactical sheath, the Storm Rider sits squarely in the sweet spot between an indestructible field utility knife and a dedicated combat tool.
Includes: (1) TOPS Storm Rider 250th Anniversary Fixed Blade Knife, (1) Black Ballistic Nylon Sheath with Rigid Protective Kydex Liner, and Emergency Whistle.
