ÜBERFIRE
FIELDCRAFT BY B.O.B.
Whether you’re Special Forces, Military, SERE
trained, Federal Agency Personnel, a pilot, an
avid outdoorsman, or a hardcore bushcrafter or
survivalist, Überfire is the ultimate last-resort
fire option for you.
TOPS is proud to provide the Tumble Finish
Brothers of Bushcraft based on feedback from
many of our friends asking for a version of the
B.O.B. without a powder coat.
S.N.A.P. KIT
TEX CREEK
This kit contains just about everything that you
need to get you through a rough day or two.
The darkened-steel pattern from our famous
Black River Wash is unique on every blade.
This creates that “broken in, rustic look”.
LONGHORN BOWIE
CROW HAWKE
The long flowing design is backed up by a solid
1/4” of hard-core 1095 steel. The Longhorn
Bowie has shown to be a favorite for all “field
types.”
The CROW HAWKE is a sturdy Neck/EDC
tool with a great design. It’s so small and
lightweight, you won’t even notice you’re
carrying it.
BUSHCRAFTER KUKURI 7.0
+ Many more
This knife is the product of more than 30 years
of experience in the outdoors. Wilderness
Bushcraft & Survival is not just a hobby for its
designer, but a way of life.
TOPS Multi-fuel Stove
With a weight of only 1 pound 3.2 ounces
(Including the nylon pouch) it’s the perfect
addition to almost any bug-out-bag, emer-
gency car kit, hiker bag, camp pack, etc. Set
up and collapse is a breeze.
We have so many amazing KNIVES that we can’t
possibly fit them all in one ad. You can find our
full production line at www.topsknives.com.

THE COVER:
Cold weather can complicate any survival situation,
whether you’re lost during a hunting trip or the victim of
circumstances completely out of your control. Hypother-
mia, frostbite, and a host of other maladies can sap you of
your strength, reduce your effectiveness, and ultimately kill
you. Officer Pack courtesy Hazard4, SCHF 38 knife courtesy
