Joshua Swanagon designed the TOPS C.U.T. 4.0 (Combat Utility Tool) to bridge the gap between specialized combative ring knives and practical field blades. Unlike standard karambits that rely heavily on curved fighting techniques, this hybrid features a useful drop point profile made of 1095 high carbon steel, allowing standard cutting tasks while maintaining superior retention during high-stress situations. Furthermore, the Tan Canvas Micarta handle features TOPS’ “Dragonfly Tread” for a positive grip whether held in forward or reverse positions.

Consequently, it is a preferred choice for martial artists and law enforcement needing versatile daily carry options. For those seeking a more traditional dedicated fighting karambit, we also recommend the TAC-TOPS Karambit. You can also visit TOPS Knives to see their full tactical lineup.
