TOPS Knives has just released its newest iteration of the Camp Creek Knife—the Camp Creek Fire Edition. The new Camp Creek Fire Edition is not meant to replace the original Camp Creek Knife, rather it provides different options for the consumer with a few changes from the original.
Camp Creek Fire Edition
Originally, the Camp Creek was designed as a hunting/camp knife and was the first knife TOPS made of CPM S35VN steel. Camp Creek Fire Edition’s blade is made from the same steel with a 4.5-inch blade. The Fire Edition has more belly and a less pointy tip, which makes it perfect for skinning. Additionally, the red/black G10 handle on the Fire Edition has been widened to give the user more control when skinning animals. The Fire Edition has an overall length of 9.38-inches, and it comes with a black leather sheath, sheath clip, and lanyard. Its overall weight is 7.9 ounces and 12.0 ounces with the sheath. Designed by Leo Espinoza, this new model is sure to be a welcome addition to any knife collection.
