TOPS Knives Chico Fixed Blade Neck Knife Black 1.88in Plain Tanto Blade TPCHI01

The TOPS Knives Chico CHI-01 is a compact fixed blade designed with serious functionality in mind. Whether you're heading into the outdoors or simply looking for a dependable everyday carry (EDC) tool, the Chico delivers. Its small footprint doesn't compromise on performance, making it a standout option for those who demand reliability in a minimalist design.

Crafted from 1095 high-carbon steel, the Chico's 1.88-inch blade offers excellent toughness and edge retention. This steel choice is trusted for hard-use knives due to its durability and ease of sharpening in the field. The black traction coating enhances corrosion resistance and minimizes glare, making it a solid choice for both urban environments and backwoods use.

With an overall length of just 4.5 inches and a skeletonized handle, the Chico is engineered for portability without sacrificing strength. Its .19-inch blade thickness adds to its robust feel, while the one-piece construction reduces failure points and keeps the weight to a bare minimum—only 2.8 ounces without the sheath.

Carry options are versatile and practical. The included black Kydex sheath is fitted with a neck chain and a carabiner-style clip, allowing you to wear it around your neck, clip it to gear, or stash it in a pocket. Its streamlined design ensures it stays out of the way until it's needed. The Chico also comes with a mini LED flashlight, adding a layer of convenience when you're out in low-light conditions or need quick access to a light source.

This knife is made in the USA with the kind of attention to detail TOPS Knives is known for. Whether you're a hiker, camper, or someone who just appreciates a well-made blade, the Chico offers rugged dependability in a size that fits just about anywhere. Its ultra-lightweight frame and durable materials make it a top contender for those who prefer fixed blades in a compact package.

The Chico is ideal for quick tasks, utility work, or backup carry. While its size and sheath style may not suit every user, those looking for a tough, American-made EDC knife will find solid value here.
