Review TOPS Power Eagle 12. I looked closely at the TOPS Power Eagle 12 when I was at the 2010 International Blade Show in Atlanta this past June.

Even though I really liked the looks of the design a lot, I really didn't have the money to spare at that time...it took me a few months to get one, but I still managed to get it at the current introductory price. I have had it for a month or so now and have put it through some paces. The specs are:O/A Length:......17 5/8" Blade Length:....12" Thickness:.......1/4" Steel:...........51-60 Spring Steel Handle:..........Tan Canvas Micarta Blade Color:.....Black Traction Coating Sheath:..........Nylon Weight:..........1.6 lbs With sheath:.....2.0 lbs Designed by:.....Leo EspinozaThe knife has a full, contoured, tapered handle with a bird's beak pommel, that is actually pretty darn comfortable as far as machete handles go.

That was a pleasant surprise for me. End part 1 of 5 . Tops Power Eagle 12 Knife with ALRT-XL01: Sports & Outdoors.

In a recent article appearing in Blade Magazine dated Nov 2008, there appeared a very interesting article titled "Big Bad Bush Knives" The associate editor Brendan O'brien said the following: "Armageddon from TOPS and Trace, while I don't consider the Armageddon a true machete, it can serve as one.” “The idea was a cross between a machete and a large camp or chopping knife.
