TOPS Knives Lilith
Jason Johnson (Pro Knife Thrower) brought Lilith to TOPS by sending a prototype he made himself. He has a wealth of experience throwing knives. A few years back, he started to try his hand at making knives as well. He's making some excellent throwing knives and other cutting tools. Lilith is one of the largest he’s made and reached out to TOPS about possibly turning it into a production model. We were happy to work with him on it and bring it to the masses.
The name comes from the mythical creature Lilith, who has been depicted as a seductress, heroine, and the embodiment of female wiles and secrets. A fitting name for such a large, powerful, and elegant tool. It has high grinds to give it great edge geometry for cutting tasks and great for deep cuts when chopping. The handle has the right amount of thickness and heft and is well-contoured to make it very comfortable to wield. Because the handle tapers toward the pommel as you would expect to see with throwing knife designs, there is a finger ring that is chamfered to aid in retention. TOPS also added a lanyard hole for those that would like to choke back for a little more length in chopping and help them to keep a good hold on it.
