## Reasons to buy a TOPS knife 

 

TOPS Knives is known for well-thought-out designs and a focus on tactical functionality. TOPS Knives offers reliable knives for situations when your life depends on it. The choice of materials has been carefully considered; most knives are made of 1095-carbon steel, a non-stainless type of steel that is easy to sharpen. The coatings and finishes applied help prevent corrosion. Most TOPS knives feature a handle made from micarta. This is a composite material made from linen and synthetic resin, which provides excellent grip in both dry and wet circumstances. Moreover, TOPS Knives offers a lifetime warranty on material and manufacturing defects, which is a testament to their confidence in the quality and durability of their products. Whereas TOPS Knives first primarily had products for tactical use, many knives are now also popular among outdoor and bushcraft enthusiasts.

### TOPS Fieldcraft Brothers of Bushcraft 

The TOPS Knives Fieldcraft BOB (Brothers of Bushcraft) is an excellent example of craftsmanship. Developed in collaboration with the Brothers of Bushcraft, this knife is specially designed for outdoor and bushcraft adventures.

## School project that got out of control

The Kindling Cracker started out as a school project introduced by the then 13-year-old Ayla from New Zealand. She comes from an area where it gets really cold in winter, so fire wood is no unnecessary luxury. She saw her mother struggle with a splitting hammer. That is why she came up with a more clever and easier way to split wood. Throughout the years the Kindling Cracker has won multiple rewards and is now sold worldwide.

Butter knives are specifically designed to spread butter or other spreads on your sandwich, baguette, toast or crackers. Usually, these knives have a round tip to allow you to scoop up the spread from its container. The convex belly of the blade makes spreading butter or other spreads child's play. Butter knives can have a smooth edge or have some subtle serrations. With a serrated butter knife you can also cut bread. That's why a butter knife is indispensable during breakfast!

## Start with the basics

No matter what type of emergency kit you put together, the essentials stay the same. Water, food, a flashlight and a first-aid kit. Read more about it in our topic: [basic emergency kit](kato://content/emergencykitbasic).

**Please note**: An emergency kit helps you be better prepared, but does not guarantee complete safety. Each emergency situation is also different, so keep in mind that it is still key to carefully assess the situation at hand and follow the advice of local authorities.

## Car emergency kit assembly

Familiar with the basics already? Great! When putting together an emergency car kit, it is important to pay extra attention to specific products. Many of the items suitable for a car kit can also be found in a basic emergency kit, but are extra suitable or specially designed for car-related emergencies.

### Pocket knife with belt cutter or glass breaker

In an emergency, such as a traffic collision, a pocket knife can save lives. A pocket knife with a [seatbelt cutter](kato://category/pocketknivesproduct?multitool-tools=cutting%20hook) or a [glass breaker](kato://category/pocketknivesproduct?multitool-tools=glass%20breaker) ensures you don't waste any time when every second counts. Choose a pocket knife you can open with one hand for optimal efficiency in stressful situations.

### Flashlight

Whether you need to find your way at night, signal or are simply looking for your gear in your home, a reliable flashlight ensures you will never be left in the dark. Choose a model with a [strobe mode](kato://category/flashlightsproduct?light-extra-modes=strobe), or choose a torch with an [SOS or beacon mode](kato://category/flashlightsproduct?light-extra-modes=SOS%2Cbeacon) to send signals when you are stranded. Also, many torches are compatible with [traffic cones](kato://category/flashlightacc?flashlight-acc=cone) to signal other road users when you are standing by the road.

### First-aid kit

The [First Aid Only car kit](kato://product/FAOP-10019) is a practical and high-quality emergency first-aid kit for your car. The bag contains all necessary bandages and first-aid supplies for use in emergency situations and is ideal for the car or motorhome.

### Off Grid Tools: multi-functional axes

[Off Grid Tools](kato://category/offgridtools) makes robust, multi-purpose tools that are ideal during an emergency. Whether you need to smash a window, force a door or free yourself, these tools provide the solution. The Trucker's Friend, for example, originally designed for truck drivers, combines an axe, hammer and nail puller. Perfect for any driver who wants to be prepared.

## Don't forget!

When putting together an emergency kit for your car, in addition to the basic essentials, it is also important to add the following items.

* Safety jacket and reflective triangle: ensures you are highly visible in case your car breaks down or after a traffic collision. In many countries, it is mandatory to use it in case of car trouble.
* Jump cables or jump starter: useful in case of a dead battery, so you can help yourself or someone else. A portable jump starter works without a second vehicle and offers extra security.
* Warm blanket or insulation blanket: keep you warm in case of breakdown in cold conditions. Thanks to the compact size, it won't take up much space.

## Be ready for anything

A well composed car emergency kit can make all the difference in unexpected situations. With the right tools and equipment, you stay self-reliant. Make sure your emergency kit is complete and checked regularly so that you always leave home prepared.

## The ultimate wine experience


You might not have thought about it much, but there is more than meets the eye when organizing the perfect wine night. You, of course, need to open the bottle. Depending on if the cork has been covered with a foil you can use a waiter’s corkscrew, or a ‘common’ [corkscrew](kato://content/migrated_pageid_203). 


However, if you feel like a glass of wine on a Monday you are, of course, not planning to immediately finish the bottle. [Coravin](kato://content/migrated_pageid_858) has the perfect solution: wine systems! With a hollow needle that is pierced into the cork, you can pour a glass of wine without removing the cork.  The space created in the bottle by the same needle is filled with argon gas. Because of this gas no oxygen will reach the wine. As a result oxidation will not occur and the flavour is not affected. Perfect when you only want to drink one glass of wine!


Have you found the right wine and have you opened the bottle properly? If so you are almost ready for the perfect wine experience. The one thing missing is a nice piece of cheese. This is also something we can help you with. After all, if you decide to go with a piece of brie on a cracker, a semi-hard cheese or even a nice piece of parmesan cheese: with our range of cheese knives you can cut and spread them with ease. We have great sets with large or small [cheese knives](kato://content/migrated_pageid_65) and, of course, also the best [cheese boards](kato://content/migrated_pageid_156)! Bon appetite!
