Knife Review: TOPS Mil-Spie 5

[SweptEdge]

Do you think this would be a good IWB for concealed carry with it clipped inside out in your pants?

[WeAllJuggleKnives]

@SweptEdge - I think it would feel a bit heavy, but I haven't tried it IWB.

Good review. I've considered this knife quite a bit. I have large hands and wonder how that relatively narrow handle would do in an extended use situation. Does it create hot spots or become uncomfortable in your hand in extended use?

[WeAllJuggleKnives]

@nextexhale - it has felt pretty comfortable for me

there is a lanyard hole. i purchased (and love) the mil-spie three and one of the things i wish it did have in comparison to the 5 is the lanyard hole...... however in order to install a lanyard you must take off the handles and if you notice on the bottom there are two groves where the lanyard should come out of (on the micarta)

[nalday07]

where on earth did you buy it for $100?



[WeAllJuggleKnives]

@nalday07 I bought it from a seller on Amazon, but that was last year, I think the price now is around $125 at most places, sadly. Still a great knife though. ~Israel

Great video, I love this blade myself. Just an FYI the knife does have a lanyard hole. If you look at the bottom of the handle close to the rear you will see 2 releif cuts in the micarta for the lanyard to go thru. You have to take the handles off to get your paracord in the hole. Just an FYI. Love the vid

[WeAllJuggleKnives]

@moultonmotox Thanks! Yes true true, it does have a slot there, kinda recessed under the scales. ~Sensei Israel

[koioo2]

i don t have 100 dollars yet.i bet if knife was made in china be lot cheaper ?

i like heavy strong knife knife you feel.

[Carnuss]

That looks like one tough knife.

[krazy45cat]

Tops makes great blades for the price !

[TheDishD]

once again a quality reveiw Sensei, cheers for the great info on a "budget" tops blade, best wishes and take care brother.

[NorwegianKnifeDude]

that's a very nice blade ;)

[Shuich05]

Custom KYDEX sheath tutorial would be nice. . . .

[PavlovSandor]

wow. 100 bones. that has to be the only bargain tops knife. looks very useful. so are you gonna remove the handle scales and paracord it or just leave it and place in the collection.

[WeAllJuggleKnives]

@PavlovSandor I think they sell versions without scales and ones with yellow scales too, but since I got the one with scales I'll keep them on. I keep the knife for my bugout type kit, ya know, for when Red Dawn happens lol. ~Sensei Israel

[PavlovSandor]

@WeAllJuggleKnives i wonder if the kiddies know that movie at all. lol. patrick swayzee attack!!!!!!

[spydermojo]

Nice! I'm really liking Tops knives. They have some really good designs, good prices for what you get, they are similar to Esee knives but with a more tactical edge.

[sae1095hc]

I really think the primary reason for using carbon steel on large, hard use knives is because it's much tougher than any stainless especially at higher RC.

[ThatScottishGuy2010]

Really nice.

[MrWer1138]

DAMN!!! Thats a steal at a hundred bucks!!!!!!! Another great vid my friend!

[WeAllJuggleKnives]

@MrWer1138 Thanks, no prob :] ~Sensei Israel

[GMGvanS]

You've been dropping some quality video's lately.

I really really liked the last one you did "Knife Selections & Recommendations FAQs".

Thanks dude.



[Lucentdawn]

Speaking of TOPS, I heard Buck collaborated with them to make a new version of the Nighthawk. Looks interesting. Keep up the good work, my friend, I know you're listening ;)

[superdznuts99]

How do you compare it to the cold steel recon scout?

[WeAllJuggleKnives]

@superdznuts99 The Recon Scout is more a full size fighting utility fixed blade. Whereas the Mil-Spie 5 would be more in the category as the Ontario Pilot Survival Knife (mid sized survival), but more specialized for survival or bushcraft rather than combat. ~Sensei Israel

[superdznuts99]

@WeAllJuggleKnives cool thanks

[poormansjamesbond]

cool review,awesome knife, thanks for the heads up.
