TOPS Knives UPSM-02 Upswarm (Double Edge)

The Upswarm is a compact self-defense knife built for deep concealment and close-quarters use. It draws from karambit handling but ditches the full finger ring, so you get a secure grip in forward or reverse without the risk of getting a finger stuck. It's the backup you want when you can't reach your primary tool.

• The handle is inspired by a knuckle duster, so it locks into your hand naturally and stays there when things get tense.
• By using a karambit-style rear contour instead of a closed ring, you keep control without the danger of finger entrapment.
• The 3-inch main edge (with an 1.63-inch top edge) is built for fast slashes or stabs in tight spots.
• We used 1095 high carbon steel because it's tough and easy to sharpen.
• Black Canvas Micarta handles with Coco-Drillo tread give you a solid grip even if your hands are wet or you're under stress.
• The black Kydex sheath has a rotating spring steel clip, making it easy to hide and carry however you prefer.

The knife weighs 4.3 ounces (6.3 with the sheath) and stays out of sight until you need it. Since some of the 1095 high carbon steel will be exposed, you should wipe it down with a bit of oil after use, especially if you live somewhere humid.
