Breaking News – Ucon, Idaho – TOPS has released Snake River Editions of their classic TOPS Wind Runner and Wind Runner XL hunting knives. TOPS says, “This new version sports our famous Black River Wash with green canvas Micarta handles to provide grip even when they’re wet.” The Wind Runner and Wind Runner XL can be purchased separately or as a combo with a piggyback sheath.
According to TOPS, “Most hunters in TOPS’ neck of the woods don’t hunt only one type of animal. They hunt several, and fish, and camp, and just generally like spending time outdoors. The Wind Runners were designed with them in mind. ” The regular Wind Runner is designed for fish, fowl, and small game, while the Wind Runner XL is great for bigger game and general camp tasks.
“The recurved blades slice easily with tips that are subdued to avoid puncturing hides and organs while processing game,” TOPS tells us.
