The Steel Eagle series, renowned for its over 14 years of reliable service across diverse terrains and conditions, is a testament to its strength, durability, versatility, and dependability within the Special Operations Community. TOPS Knives proudly presents the Steel Eagle 107C-XX, an exceptional addition to this esteemed series. This knife boasts a robust fixed blade design, affectionately known as the "Baby Eagle." Despite its smaller size, designed for precision in more delicate tasks where a larger knife might be cumbersome, it does not compromise on toughness or thickness. Both the Baby Eagle and its larger counterpart feature a full tang construction and are equipped with durable black linen Micarta scales for a secure grip. The larger 107C-XX model also features a sawback spine for added functionality. Each knife comes with a sturdy black nylon sheath for safe storage and transport. The Mini Eagle variant measures an overall length of 5.7 inches, with a 3.2-inch blade length and a 3-inch cutting edge. It is crafted from 1095 HC steel with an RC of 56-58, ensuring a balance of hardness and durability. The handle is made from the same black linen Micarta, contributing to the knife's lightweight feel at just 4.2 oz.
