Tops The Sonoran

The Sonoran Desert stretches across nearly 100,000 square miles of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico—an unforgiving environment that demands skill, experience, and the right tools. Dave Canterbury, known for spending extensive time off-grid in this region, brings real-world knowledge to the design of this knife, ensuring it performs reliably in harsh conditions and can handle a wide range of survival and bushcraft tasks. A Primitive Skills expert and one of the country’s leading educators in Stone Age living techniques, Dave has built a reputation on practical, field-tested knowledge. It’s no surprise he’s added knife design to his skill set, creating a blade that reflects exactly what he trusts in the wild. The Sonoran is a true working knife—designed with purpose and refined through experience. It carries the classic influence of a traditional puukko, but with a subtle trailing point for enhanced slicing performance and a more contoured handle for improved comfort and control during extended use. Built for real-world application, this knife is as capable as the environment it was designed for.
