Equally adept in urban settings or in the wild, this is definitely an ounce counter's dream.
In recent years, there has been a surge in outdoor activities; trekkers, backpackers, survivalists, preppers, and numerous other like-minded individuals are spending more and more time developing their skills and using their tools to improve their level of self-reliance.
In these uncertain times, it is definitely wise to have some kind of light tool with you, regardless of whether you are going "off grid" for the weekend or adding this knife to your Bug-Out-Bag. The TOPS Lite Trekker fulfills two tasks especially well
#1- It's efficiency and
#2- It's light and as strong as possible.
TOPS Lite Trekker is the culmination of several months of designing and refining. A few years back at the Blade Show, Joe (Shangoman) Flowers, his wife Ashley, and Leo (the Lion) Espinoza, put their heads together on a new joint collaboration to design a light, durable, and functional tool. We have already seen their combined field time and design experience come through on some winning models. A great example is the Machete .230. An excellent field tool with a great performance record.
After numerous revisions, the TOPS Lite Trekker has several well-thought-out features such as a positive grip, high-visibility squares set into the handle design, and a wide yet thin blade that keeps weight down and strength up. When selecting one of the neon versions, the textured handle includes a neon cord matching the choice of colored squares.
It is flat ground for the sharpest and lightest combination in its size class. This tool comes with a 3 rod fire-starter and 126 DB emergency whistle. Wherever your travels take you or what surprises come your way, you can feel comfortable with the capabilities of the TOPS Lite Trekker.
