TOPS HKT Fixed Blade Knife 4 Inch Plain Black Reverse Modified Tanto TPHKT01

The TOPS HKT, short for Hunter Killer Tracker, is a purpose-driven fixed blade that strikes a precise balance between tactical design and real-world functionality. With a 4” reverse modified tanto blade made from tough 1095 carbon steel and finished in a non-reflective black traction coating, this knife is built to perform in the harshest environments. Whether you're in the field, on the move, or prepping for unpredictable conditions, the HKT is a tool you’ll reach for with confidence.

The reverse modified tanto profile gives the blade exceptional piercing strength and tip control, ideal for both tactical and utility work. The strong, straight edge makes slicing efficient and clean, while the swedged spine adds a sleek profile and enhances penetration power without sacrificing durability. At .19” thick, the blade has the backbone to stand up to heavy use, baton through tough materials, or handle survival tasks with ease. This is a blade that doesn’t just look capable—it is.

At the heart of the HKT’s performance is its hidden tang construction and black linen Micarta handle. This pairing offers both strength and comfort, with the Micarta providing a dependable grip even when wet, muddy, or gloved. The shape is contoured for control and reduced fatigue, letting you work with precision and power when it counts. The full 9.5” overall length and 7.3 oz. weight give the knife a commanding presence without feeling bulky, making it ideal for belt or pack carry.

The black Kydex sheath is as practical as it is tough, featuring a rotating spring steel belt clip that allows for versatile positioning—horizontal, vertical, or angled—depending on your preference or mission setup. Whether you're in uniform, hiking gear, or backwoods attire, the sheath keeps your knife secure and accessible. As a bonus, it comes with an emergency whistle attached, a small but potentially life-saving addition that aligns perfectly with the HKT’s survival-focused design.

Proudly made in the USA, the TOPS HKT reflects the rugged dependability and expert craftsmanship that have made TOPS Knives a trusted name among military, law enforcement, survivalists, and everyday users who demand more from their gear. Every curve, edge, and finish is done with intent, from the stealthy blade coating to the ergonomic handle fit. It's not just a blade—it’s a purpose-built tool for those who expect their knife to perform in any situation.

You’ll find the TOPS HKT at the world’s largest knife store, Smoky Mountain Knife Works, where quality knives and tactical gear come together under one roof. It's also offered through the best online knife store, giving you quick access to this powerful, American-made fixed blade no matter where you are.
