SHOP CASE KNIVESThe TOPS Devil's Claw Fixed Blade Knife is a compact, tactical tool designed for professionals who demand reliability, strength, and versatility. Engineered by Leo Espinoza and proudly made in the USA, this knife features a distinctive hawkbill blade that mimics the curved precision of a predatory claw, delivering maximum control and penetration with every cut. The 3-inch blade is crafted from high-performance 1095 carbon steel, partially serrated for enhanced cutting power, and finished with a durable black traction coating to resist corrosion and glare in the field.
This full-tang design offers durability and strength throughout the entire knife structure. The handle is built from rugged black and blue G-10 scales with striking red spacers and triple hollow brass rivets, ensuring a secure, ergonomic grip even in high-stress conditions. The compact 5.75-inch overall length and 4.6-ounce weight make it ideal for discreet carry, while the included black Kydex sheath features a rotating spring steel clip for customizable positioning. Whether worn inside the waistband or on the belt, right- or left-handed, the sheath adapts to your preferred carry style.
The Devil's Claw excels in personal defense applications, particularly in reverse grip scenarios where its hawkbill design and serrations can perform devastating pulling and ripping cuts. It's equally effective for utility tasks, offering aggressive edge geometry that makes quick work of seat belts, rope, or fibrous materials. Built for real-world use, this knife combines compact portability with serious cutting capability.
Every detail of the Devil's Claw speaks to quality American craftsmanship and tactical efficiency. From the steel to the sheath, this knife was designed for operators, first responders, and anyone needing a reliable blade in critical situations.
