The TOPS Vi Ax, short for Viking Axe, is one of many fixed blade models released by TOPS this year. Modeled after traditional historic Viking axes, this Leo Espinoza designed model consists of a solid slab of 1075 carbon stainless steel which provides better impact resistance compared to the traditional 1095 carbon almost exclusively used by TOPS. This model features a darkened black linen micarta handle, a primary axe head and secondary double edged spike in a black traction coating finish, and a black leather sheath, designed only as a blade cover, that boasts small loops and dual snaps for easy attachment to a pack or MOLLE gear. Made in the USA.
