The TOPS Tac-Raze is a UK Friendly Carry Friction Folder! Yes, it’s a TOPS knife that’s also UK Friendly Carry! Designed by Leo Espinoza, the Tac-Raze is designed to look a bit like a straight razor (but as it’s recurved, we don’t recommend you try it).

TOPS first foray into the world of friction folder knives is definitely a good one. It is a functional EDC knife that offers plenty of cutting edge (7.6cm) from it’s tumble finished 1095 steel blade with a ergonomically shaped G10 handle and a good sized finger choil, which is great for tasks needing a high degree of control. The G10 handle also includes what TOPS describe as Cryptic Cyber Scales. These scales add plenty of grip and give the handle good texture!

The Tac-Raze also comes supplied with a smart brown leather sheath, which fits the knife perfectly and includes a belt loop.

The TOPS Tac-Raze is a great addition to the TOPS range of functional knives, and one that we know will be appreciated by many!

Also supplied with a bottle of oil for lubrication - this affects the destinations to which we're able to ship this item. This will be reflected at checkout.

It works

Posted by McT on 4th May 2020

Really beautifully made bit of kit which balances well in the hand. Oozes quality. The recurve blade is perfect for opening feed sacks and cutting bailer twine. The scales were a bit grabby with a couple of sharp edges, but removed easily with 1200 grit paper. Primary role is for a compact gralloch tool and skinner for small deer and no doubt it will perform well on that task. Also really easy and slick for one hand opening when juggling stuff.... No cutesy whistle though....are TOPS cutting overheads?? Regarding delivery - if you live anywhere vaguely off the beaten track, don't get UPS to attempt delivery, ask for Royal Mail. This was a bit of a farce, but the nice folks at Heinnie were v helpful and chased their carrier doggedly. I recall a package they sent to me while I was on a remote island in Norway, and that one arrived quicker than this one did!

Great piece of kit

Sharp out of the box, light weight., great grip on the handle. Modded the sheath so can be stowed in reverse, will also fit clip to save the hassle of threading onto belt. Would recommend, however dropped a star due to price. My next favourite edc for a month or so!

had mine for a good couple of years, still great, even carried it in south africa where you can carry what you like, used it for allsorts of cutting because you,ve got to see what it can do, hasn,t let me down at all, sheath still good as well, get one, it will surprise you.

A great EDC folder from TOPS

Posted by Harry on 1st Jul 2018

This is now my EDC pocket knife and is also my favourite folder I was looking for a dependable folder that was legal to carry in the U.K. and with this one TOPS have knocked the ball out of the park. It feels substantial, reliable and of high quality. It is able to handle any of the day to day cutting tasks I have with ease. I have put some paracord through the belt loops and carry it deep in my pocket rather than on my belt I like it so much I am already planning next month's budget to get a couple of spares. I am hoping that TOPS will consider new models in this friction folder design but with different blade geometries. If you are looking for a decent, legal folder then I think this is the one that might tick the box for you.

Top class from TOPS

Posted by TCN on 30th Mar 2017

Needed a belt carry UK legal EDC and this fits perfectly. I've got a few friction folders and this is by far the best. I brought it for the knife and the sheath and if I had one gripe (which I've solved with a quick modification of the sheath) is how you pull the knife from the sheath. My custom FF belt carry has the tail pointing down which lets you pop the knife out with a finger, slide into the hand in the correct orientation and open it swiftly with ease. So I just put a hole in the bottom of the sheath and bobs your uncle it's perfect. Well done Heinnie on the service and TOPS on the knife.

Great Service - Great Knife.

Posted by Lev on 20th Dec 2016

Just received mine from Heinnies. (Usual superfast service) And first impressions are very good. I have a few TOPS Knives and this one is a cut above them all in terms of quality and fit and finish. Razor sharp (see where I went there :) ) out of the box, the grip of the g10 and ergonomics of the handle are outstanding. The sheath is wonderfully made and designed, and fits the knife like a glove. Easily opened one handed with a little practice, it slices with confidence. A brilliant alternative to the normal UK legal slip joints. Worth every penny in my opinion. Well done TOPS?

Outstanding

Posted by Mountainman on 22nd Nov 2016

What a bit of kit - unreal, perfect size and weight, tension on the blade is just right. Not shaving sharp out of the box but a couple of minutes with the strop and it is razor sharp. Don't know how the friction sheath will stand-up to constant use ? but I did not buy the blade for the sheath. Would I recommend you buy one YES if you like good quality , good engineering and style.

Awsome

Posted by Dave Barker on 25th Oct 2016

Great service as usual from HH Preordered this as it was a tops and UK legal. A little disappointed when it arrived as it felt cheap. Used 1500 emry cloth on the g10, and made the choil slightly larger as I have fat fingers. The pouch is well designed horizontal and vertical carry, I have adapted mine for neck carry so I can have it stored open for constant use. Slightly expensive for a friction folder but tops quality shines through. After 5 days of constant use only had to strop it to maintain the sharpness. Gave it 4 stars only cos of the price.
