This Custom UTE 02 came about because of a random idea one day. Leo has always wanted to make the UTE in a stainless steel because it would make a great blade for being on the water to process fish, cut lines, etc. So instead of just making one for himself, he decided to make a whole sheet of knives and that turned into a custom shop blade.

These blades are made with 440C (professionally heat treated), have a distressed black Cerakote and file work done by hand on the spines. The handles are red canvas Micarta with some special tread. The sheath is high-quality, double-stitched black leather with a welt and red threads to match the red and black theme.

This is the first knife officially sold through the TOPS Custom Shop. Enjoy!
