ORIGINAL MODEL. Designed by Ron Hood of "Hoods Woods," this knife has been around the world and has proven itself from the African jungles to the Alaskan frontier. Its unique design enables the user to enhance the downward stroke of the knife by the angular relationship to the sturdy handle. Ron Hood's experiences have made him a highly respected authority in the survival community worldwide. His experiences have enabled the "Anaconda" design, to be a "field functional tool" in all terrains, and most worthwhile for military and civilians alike.

Survival author Dan Shechtman wrote: "The TOPS Anaconda reflects Brent's vision of the perfect survival knife."

This knife has been and still is daily in action.
