The **TOPS Mil-SPIE Elite** is a strong survival knife, designed for military personnel. This is TOPS' area of expertise. You will find many knives in their range that have been designed in response to a specific request from an army unit or even an individual soldier. This Mil-SPIE Elite is no exception.



One striking feature of the TOPS Mil-SPIE Elite is its thin profile. The scales protrude only slightly from the handle, making it very compact to carry. This means the knife won't get in the way of the rest of your equipment. The blade is made from 1095 carbon steel. This is where the Mil-SPIE Elite differs from the Mil-SPIE 3, which has a blade made of 154CM. 1095 carbon steel is tougher, and also easier to sharpen out in the field. Important features for a professional user. The handle is made from micarta, which offers plenty of grip, even in wet conditions.



Although the TOPS Mil-SPIE Elite is designed for military personnel, this rock-solid knife is also a big hit among survival enthusiasts and hikers. The handle is flat, only 11 millimeters in diameter, but still offers a good grip. At a weight of only 135 grams, it's also quite light for a knife in this class. And its blade thickness of 4.8 mm means you hardly have to worry about breakage.



The TOPS Mil-SPIE Elite comes with a sleek Kydex sheath with a rotatable steel belt clip.

General information

value_blade_height

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

value_blade_thickness

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

value_weight

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

sharpening_angle

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).
