TOPS Knives tells us that a “new Dawn is here” – a new Apache Dawn that is. The original Apache Dawn was released very early in the history of the company, and now TOPS has finally released a new Rockies Edition of the classic Apache Dawn.
TOPS tells us, “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,” TOPS says.
