TOPS Knives US Combat Knife | Made in USA

Designed by former U.S. Marine Laci Szabo, the TOPS Knives US Combat Knife is a heavy duty American made fixed blade developed with military and tactical field applications in mind. Inspired by traditional military bayonets and combat knives, this rugged design pays tribute to the United States Marine Corps while incorporating modern materials and construction techniques.

Laci Szabo drew on his background in the Marine Corps, law enforcement, and martial arts to create a knife capable of handling demanding field conditions. According to TOPS Knives, the US Combat Knife underwent extensive field testing, where its durability, secure grip, and cutting performance received positive evaluations. TOPS also reports that this design has seen use among members of the armed services, although it is not identified as an officially issued military knife.

The US Combat Knife features a 7.5 inch blade constructed from 1095 high carbon steel, heat treated to approximately 56 to 58 HRC for a balance of toughness and edge retention. Its substantial 0.25 inch blade thickness provides strength for demanding field applications, while the black traction coating helps protect against corrosion and reduces glare.

Full tang construction extends through the black linen Micarta handle, providing exceptional durability and a secure grip even in wet conditions. The extended tang features a lanyard hole, while the knife's 13.75 inch overall length provides a substantial, well balanced platform for heavy duty outdoor and tactical utility tasks.

Manufactured in the USA by TOPS Knives, the US Combat Knife includes a black ballistic nylon sheath with MOLLE compatible backing for convenient attachment to belts and tactical equipment. Built with strength and reliability in mind, this knife represents TOPS' commitment to producing equipment designed around real world field experience.

Curious About Sizing?

Given the massive variety of clothing we carry, a standard sizing guide is incredibly helpful for customers seeking the best fit.

Please understand that surplus varies widely in fit and cut and this sizing chart is general advice rather than tailor-level fitting.

Nearly every military has different sizing charts and schemes, which is why we've taken the time to put together this brief tutorial.

 

Jacket & Shirt Sizing

In absence of an established military size chart, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit to get a rough idea of how it fits. If a garment is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a shirt measures 19.75" from pit to pit, it is marked as a small rather than medium.

To measure pit to pit, close up your shirt or jacket and measure from armpit to armpit. 

This is our measurement guide that we use to measure garments without an existing military size chart:

14"-15" PtP = XXS

16-17" PtP = Extra Small

18"-19" PtP = Small

20-21" PtP = Medium

22-23" PtP = Large

24-25" PtP = Extra Large

26-27" PtP = XXL

28-29" PtP = 3XL

Pant Sizing

We typically convert pants to US waist and inseam sizes. If a pair of pants is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a pair of pants measures as a 33 waist, it is marked as a 32 waist.

To take these measurements we lay a pair of pants flat on the ground. We then measure across the waist and double the measurement. For example, if a pair of pants measures 16" across the waist it will fit a US 32 waist.

To determine inseam we measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. For example, it a pair of pants measures 30" from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff we will list it as a 30 inseam or 30L.
