If I was holding that sword, I don’t think I could resist yelling at the top of my lungs,
“ This is Sparta !!! “ I would probably get some strange looks but totally worth it! Great review btw!
That thing looks like a real beast, and Tops always designs the coolest looking blades.
I think tops should come out with a longer version of this too, that'd be cool 😎👍👌.
"It's just straight up fun using a tool this big"
I know what you mean.
And here’s me thinking I need another machete.
I'm sold! I love knives, I love swords. One that is a combination of both? Why not!
The smile on your face really said it all! That seems to be the perfect tool, chopper, sword (defensive weapon) and certainly a BIG BOY... toy of HIGH quality! Safe travels and thanks for all the great reviews and vids!
Thanks for including prices, it makes it a lot easier to consider options when you know all the details, I think that’s a fair price, the sheath alone would be 100-150 likely from a custom maker anyways 👍🏼 and this thing seems like a great hacker
Glad it was helpful!
Your looking like Rick Grimes with that Sword and that Revolver! Awsome video once again!
Excellent vid! At Blade Show West I handled several of the knives and found them to be well balanced and the quality looked "Top" notch.
That watermelon had feelings too.
The Cuma Cage is a beast. Got mine shortly after it was announced. It absolutely does what it's supposed to. A devastating weapon. It's worth the price. Miller Bros has competitive products, but their pricing is easily triple the Cuma Kage price.
The advantage is in the leverage with that length it would be like welding on another 6 inches on my SP-53. I love the looks and the results shown in your video. Happy Trails
I don't know why I need one. But I need one!
No doubt that Tops makes great knives. As a comparison for those on a budget look at Ontario's 18" military machete and sheath at $25 and $15 respectively. Not nearly as good a handle and sheath but it's 1095 steel and military grade.
Oh for sure the OKC machetes are good
This may be my favorite video of yours man you couldn't stop smiling the whole time 😁
I too was a GI Joe kid and Snake Eyes and Scorpion were my favorites. I've had my eyes on this Cuma Kage since they first announced it. I think i'm sold.
Who the hell is Scorpion?
@@taylorjeremy71 🙊I was clearly getting my Mortal Kombat and G.I. Joe baddies confused haha, Thanks for the nudge
@@willythe4 No thanks necessary... it's my job as a total nerd to point these things out.
@@taylorjeremy71 hahaha as a fellow total nerd 🤙🤙🤙 I like how you didn't correct me, you simply made me aware and allowed me to correct myself 👊
@@willythe4 You're welcome. So goes the nerd code of honor. ⚔️
Blade Ops is having a sale on them now for less than $300, just got one a couple weeks ago and I absolutely love it 👍🏻
That’s just awesomely badass🤙🏼😎
I can totally imagine Joe Flowers with the handle in his armpit and his hand on the end of the blade using that beast for small work
Hahah for sure
Man, the ultimate zombie apocalypse tool... 😯😯
😆
It’s thick enough that in an emergency situation you can cut through doors and use as a pry tool. It would flex a bit if you really tweaked on it but it would still work in a lot of cases
It really is that awesome. Thanks for the review Arron!! I lucked into mine for $214 on amazon, but it was a fluke. Just happened to check late one night, and there it was. Maybe somebody backed out on a backorder, idk. Definitely well worth the $, and USA made TOPS quality. Would have preferred g10...but for what it is? Im not going to be picky here...all I can say...is "Wow!! Yes!!"....super awesome blade!!🤩🔥👏👏
Wow! That is nice
That’s definitely a sweet price!
I’m awaiting the arrival of mine for $222 from Chicago Knife Works with free shipping and no tax. 🤩
Lynn Thompson would be proud of your intro.
I’ve been waiting this thing since TOPS first announced it..I don’t need it at all,I have little to no use for a sword but the cool factor won me over the first time I seen it
So cool! I have absolutely no use for one but, it would be fun to have in the collection.
Keep one for zombie apocalypse.
First 30 seconds and I see a wheel gun and a sword, I'm in!
Awesome tool and very nice presentation!
Tops makes high quality tools. Well in this case it appears to be a great Tops design. Hope they are around next year as things are tight money wise till then. Unless you want to do an GAW to me on it LOL. Like the saying goes the only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys. This is definitely an short sword that proves the point. Thank you so much for showing this. I definitely need one. Love that they didn't skimp on the sheath.
Can’t wait for a matching little buddy of these or any of the large TOPS
Dude, I live in the desert, have no use for something like that...but I want it
Well yours was the first one that popped up after I saw the blade ops exclusive blackout version of this after watching it I got to have it currently showing at 269
I just ordered mines today. I'll get it. In two days
This is just way cool. Yeah, I want one. BTW, what revolver and caliber were you rocking?
I need 1! Thanks for showing
What? No pocket clip? That really is a useful tool. I like it. When I get one, it's name will be something like knife-o-swordus.
Haha no should have a back strap for every day carry
@@gideonstactical that would better. I was kidding about the pocket clip. I'd tape one on just to joke around with friends.
Pine Wood is a soft wood so it will chop easier through.
Reminds me of my Condor Discord, but beefier and twice as expensive.
Very cool review!
I've put off buying Tops because when pay premium i demand that the complete product is of premium quality. Excited to see Tops include a nice sheath this time. Love the knife and review!
Love the design but it looks like its going to be in the $280-$300 range. A little more than I'd be willing to spend on it. I had a custom I designed that's made from Nitro-v at 61 hrc and a kydex sheath and that cost me $200. Its 12" instead of 15" but has a better handle, grind(saber convex with 0.015 at the sweet spot and 0.008 at the tip and by the handle), a finger choil and neutral balance if you hold at the choil. Nitro-v is stainless and has a higher toughness than 1095 and boy did it hold up. Used a Shrade and a Cold Steel alongside my custom which did about 70% of the chopping. Shares and Cold Steel had dull spots and a few chips but the custom was still cutting newsprint pretty clean.
If this was about $200 I'd be all over it because I love this type of design but at around $300 I'll pass.
I would like to have one just for the sake of having it. I wouldn't ever use it, nor would it be legal to take anywhere outside of my property.
Haven't been camping ... so honestly either carry mine around the house or have it on my belt ... ..... pulled it out few times to tell the cat to get the hell out my spot ... he didn't care and continued to lay there 😐.
Same here..I mean,I could take it camping with me but I doubt I would very often..I usually carry my ESEE Junglas or my TOPS Storm Vector for a chopper.not only are they amazing choppers but they mount up perfectly on the side of my pack..as cool as this sword is,it’s just too big to carry like this plus these Junglas and Storm Vector are heavy enough,I would rather not add all that unnecessary extra weight..it would look nice hanging on my wall though and it would be fun to go out in the back yard and play bushcraft ninja but when I look at the price I can’t help but think about other knives I could buy that I would get far more use out of..or I could put that money towards another gun.either way I would get more bang for my buck..I mean,one could always buy a Cold Steel Katana machete.sure,the Cold Steel isn’t nearly as awesome but it’s a fraction of the price at around $50
Interesting knife review. However, I am more interested in that revolver in the leather holster. Upcoming revolver review?
Possible 😀
@@gideonstactical I second that lol
Had to mod mine. Hated the spike on the tang. Took that off. Wish it was a bit lighter though
Dundee would be proud
Don't need one....REALLY want one!
Would definitely want that as part of my zombie apocalypse loadout
Oh it would rock for that!!
What handgun are you carrying??
Interesting. If I needed something larger than a standard large camping or bushcraft blade, this sure seems like a good option.
Oh it’s epic for sure
You need a kukhuri
Sweet, a new EDC😁
Its just nice seeing someone rocking a wheel gun in leather... 🤘
The price is not really bad for what your getting there! Awesome blade 😎 👌
Looks a little more practical than my Albion Crecy.
That’s the most excited I’ve seen you!!!
Lol
The one I've been waiting for
That thing looks wicked cool!
I would love to see a Storm Vector in this size range with the longer handle.
Hell yeah,the Storm Vector is amazing..a Storm Vector XL would be greatly appreciated
Rocking the six shooter very retro. Looks good, nothing like the classics.
Ya 44mag minimum in grizzly country though this blade would help
@@gideonstactical Yep shooting the big fuzzy's with a 9mm. only serves to ensure he'll be thorough in your dismemberment. Good choice.
This looks like a bad ass blade
That’s freaking awesome! Thanks Aaron
The worst thing about tops is they never give any finger protection
G'day Aaron, who's a lucky boy then, lol. Yep pretty cool alright and indeed useful. Be a good bit of fun car camping, kinda hard to justify the carry outside of a rainforest, maybe swamp, IMO, where I could see it being a very capable package on a shoulder strap rig together with a more nimble fixed blade mounted on the sheath, (might have to be a Mora though after the 300 odd USD spent on this fella).
Cheers Duke.
There's no way that blade will survive me . Maybe 2 months tops
I live in the city and still needed it. Stays mostly in the truck.
Mark Reyes
Don't let the police 👮🚔end up pulling you over 🚗and start snooping around in your truck.
Trust me, you'll most likely end up in cuffs 🔗while being transported to the precinct 🏣🚓.
It’s an awesome urban tool if you need to get through doors or walls. Might take some time with thicker/wood walls but it would definitely do the trick
Could you please do a review on the buck pursuit fixed blade knife 656?
MAKE A CANOE! I almost died laughing….
Real cool!!!! Thanks for the video!!!
Well scripted innuendo, Sir. Truly. great blade
Well now I have to toss my Schrade Percilla to the side and get one of these
That kid in the background yelling for their mom bugged me out.
Perfect tool, simply pair it with a stainless steel knife for skinning and food prep and boom youre done...
Great video!
Looks awesome! Perfect for the zombie apocalypse! Curious what revolver you are toting out into the backwoods?
Tops 1095 is the KING of HARD USE
I like Tops, but I think ESEE’s Rowen 1095 is the KING of HARD USE
I wish I could still find one
They come around ever so often
Love your videos, and I just ordered one of the Storm Vectors. But in this video you can clearly see if you stop the video and enlarge, that the watermelon was already scored or even pre-cut. Not that it matters to anyone, but It just kinda disappointed me.
Great Review
I need this in cpm 3v. It would be crazy awesome!!! Thanks for your work Aaron!!!
No doubt,it would probably run about $600+ but it would be incredible
Wish it had more of a handguard and maybe even a saw on the back.
Cool neck knife
LOL!, I am actually more interested in your carry!?
may I ask what are you carrying!
That's a hard "G" in "kage," oldboy.
How would you compare this to the TOPS Armageddon ?
Not sure don’t have one of those
Blade is not Available Anywhere. The Link to Smokey Mountain is redirected to their home page. You got me back as a subscriber. I like blades. Not the Van Life.
"Zombie apocalypse", "those kind of environments" LOL Yes the apocalypse is starting but zombies? Cool chopper though, and nice review. Take care.
How is sharpening, this has a unusual blade profile?
A chore 👍🤣
🤣@@gideonstactical
I just bought one, how long with rugged outdoor use did sharpening become mandatory ? What method did you use?@@gideonstactical
I love it I need to get one every thing tops makes are fantastic
Really want to see a long term review on this. I'd love to know if you thrust if the hand slides up at all.
Yup just got the storm vector , and now I think I need this
Is it as good a heat treat as the storm vector?
I’m sure it is,TOPS in house heat treatments are always spot on...I absolutely love my Storm Vector.my ESEE Junglas has been a trusty companion for years now but after buying the TOPS Storm Vector my Junglas has been feeling lonely.thats not to say I like the Storm Vector any better than the Junglas but I’ve only had the Storm Vector for a few months now and so far,I like it every bit as much as my Junglas and that is saying a lot
Still waiting on a storm vector to come back in.
The Storm Vector is amazing,I carried my trusty ESEE Junglas for years but after getting the Storm Vector earlier this year,my Junglas has been feeling lonely...that’s not to say I like the Storm Vector any better than the Junglas but I definitely like it every bit as much which is really saying a lot
I was looking at the cold steel magnum tanto xii cpm 3v but now I'm not sure
I hope you will review the TOPS Brush Wolf some day. Looks like a great all-in-one backpacking tool!
It’s on the short list for sure
@@gideonstactical unfortunately, the sheath is leather and not ambidextrous, but the knife looks so good I'm tempted to get it anyway!
@@GaryHorn The sheath on mine is black kydex with a dangler, very tight fit, no rattles.
Come on man that watermelon didn't stand a chance
Woww
Cool Video 👍
Thank U for the Info and the Links 👍
A Must have for me tried to buy one unfortunatelly sold out 😕
I want!!! :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
AWESOME REVIEW! THANK YOU!
Hi. Amazing channel. Have you tried the fiskars machete ? I know it’s not on this level? But really curious how it performs compared
Got to have one, no ifs ands or buts!
I'd rather have them make it look like a short sword or would love to see them make a wakazashi
Great review!
Nice tests. But that 'knife ' is nothing for the pocket😅.
Best wishes from germany
