## Description

Backpackers Bowie

Review: Great LITTLE knife! - This is a great LITTLE knife. Even though the specs list this knife accurately, I had imagined it being slightly bigger, with that said, this is a great knife! I plan on carrying it with a Tops “Yacare” machete when backpacking so it’s small size will be great for smaller, more intricate work and it carries nicely on my side. My hands wear a medium glove and the handle fits my hand perfectly. The Kydex plastic sheath is of decent quality, it’s sturdy with no frills other than the spring belt clip that rotates for angling the position on your belt. The belt clip fits up to a 1 3/4” belt. The hook on the spine of the blade is not a gut hook or line cutter, it is not sharp but would work great for hooking and lifting the hot handle of a lantern or cook pot. The blade is made of high carbon 1095 steel which is incredibly strong and tough and the canvas Micarta handle scales feel great and provide a really good grip. Overall, this really is a great little knife. I couldn’t be happier with the quality that Tops Knives puts out. Thank you Tops!
Review: Best 1095 EDC possible - The Backpacker's Bowie packs a lot of utility into a compact blade. The size is perfect for unobtrusive belt carry. It is big enough to do what you need and small enough to be very handy. The scales are the most ergonomic I have ever experienced on ANY knife: The scales MAKE you want to hold this blade. I have done everything with mine from bushcraft to food prep. The kydex sheath is excellent with the Tops spring steel pivot/clip. I spend a lot of time in the woods on motorcycles, and this knife is perfect to carry crossdraw in conjunction with a firearm. without being uncomfortable in the saddle. I recommend it highly. Oh, it is 1095 High Carbon, so keep it oiled, especially if you are EDCing the knife in a humid environment.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the total length?**
A: Slightly less than 8 7/16" total.

**Q: What kind of steel is it made of?**
A: 1095

**Q: Why are there no specs in product listing? Seller: could your quit being lazy? No specs equals no sale!**
A: Amazon controls product listings not the Sellers. So even if a Seller had a complete description Amazon may or may not display it. This is especially true when there is more than one Seller listing the item for sale (exactly like this item.) In which case the manufacturer specifications on their website need to be referenced as Amazon considers them to be the official specifications.

**Q: Can the hook be sharpened upon the order into gut hook?**
A: I do not think so,  not without altering the profile of the notch completely .  It's cut squared to the surface of the blade.   I'm saying that because the blade supposedly has deferentially heat treated edges (top and bottom) than the core or the middle.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It’s a Tops
*by E***R on November 30, 2023*

Very sturdy 1095. Made in USA. This is my second purchase of this particular knife. I gave this one to the boy and let him beat the heck out of it. He is very destructive so perfect test for this knife. It’s still in perfect shape minus a few marks on the handle. The finish and edge are still in perfect shape. I was actually surprised. He has had to sharpen it multiple times obviously but no chips or anything on the edge. Truly amazing. It’s a Tops.
