A limited-run, American-made tactical blade built to honor 250 years of freedom
When alpine troops are deployed in extreme mountain conditions, gear failure is not an option. You need a blade that handles freezing temperatures, heavy splitting, and sudden tactical encounters. For nearly twenty years, the Mountain Lion has served those who demand absolute dependability. Originally designed with input from active and retired soldiers from the 10th Mountain Division, this heavy-duty tool is built thick to endure brutal field use.
To celebrate America's 250th anniversary, TOPS is releasing this highly limited Freedom Edition. Only 300 of these collectible tactical knives will ever be built, giving patriots a chance to own a rare slice of American history.
Its performance comes from these key design elements:
- 1095 High Carbon Steel: Outstanding strength and easy sharpening. This blade holds an edge under pressure and can be brought back to a biting, clean edge in the field with basic stones.
- Red, White, and Blue G10 Handles: A secure grip with proud patriotic style. These layers of high-pressure fiberglass laminate are completely impervious to moisture, temperature changes, and impact, keeping your hand locked in place.
- Recurve Blade Profile: Improved slicing and slashing power. The inward curve pulls material directly into the cutting edge, making it highly effective for processing wood, field dressing, or defensive applications.
- Integral Guard and Finger Choil: Absolute hand protection and precision control. The deep choil lets you choke up for detailed cutting tasks, while the built-in guard prevents your hand from slipping forward onto the sharp edge.
- Custom Patriotic Engraving: A rare collector's design. The blade is subtly detailed with stars, stripes, and the official 250th anniversary logo, making it a valuable piece of American history.
Whether this blade sits in a shadow box, goes into your safe, or accompanies you on a deep backcountry deployment, it represents the absolute best of American manufacturing. Own a piece of our nation's history. Once these 300 pieces are gone, they will not be made again.
Please Note: Because 1095 high carbon steel is prone to rust if neglected, the black traction coating protects the flats of the blade, but the sharpened cutting edge remains exposed. Regular oiling of the edge and keeping the knife dry after use is highly recommended to prevent corrosion.
