The name comes from the mythical creature Lilith, who has been depicted as a seductress, heroine, and the embodiment of female wiles and secrets. A fitting name for such a large, powerful, and elegant tool. It has high grinds to give it great edge geometry for cutting tasks and great for deep cuts when chopping. The handle has the right amount of thickness and heft and is well contoured to make it very comfortable to wield. Because the handle tapers toward the pommel as you would expect to see with throwing knife designs, there is a finger ring that is chamfered to aid in retention. TOPS also added a lanyard hole for those that would like to choke back for a little more length in chopping and help them to keep a good hold on it.
