The Fiel

Fiel is the Spanish word for “Faithful or Accurate”. This double-edged blade is quick and nimble for precise slashing, slicing, and stabbing cuts. The contoured handle is comfortable skeletonized or with a paracord wrap. It comes with a Kydex sheath with solid retention that is set up for neck carry, but is also compatible with Tek-Lok if the user prefers to wear it on their belt. It is easy to conceal and great as a last resort blade. Whether you’re looking for EDC, self-defense, or military/LEO usage, the Fiel won’t let you down.

The Quick-Skin

The Quick Skin by TOPS Knives is your next hunting knife. It’s an all belly blade designed to facilitate skinning. The G10 handles with TOPS’ Dragonfly Tread coupled with jimping in strategic places give the user a secure grip in many hand positions because there is nothing worse than a slippery hunting knife. The blade is tumble finished 1095, chosen because it takes and keeps an edge very well and is easily re-sharpened when necessary. Finish it off with a clear Cerakote to prevent rust and a smart Kydex sheath that allows for multiple carry options and you’ll see why the Quick Skin is a winner.
