TOPS El Chappito Fixed Knife Green Canvas Micarta Handle 1095 High Carbon Steel Sheepsfoot Blade TPECPTO-01

The TOPS El Chappito Fixed Knife is built for everyday carry users who want something different without sacrificing real cutting performance. Designed by Leo Espinoza, this compact fixed blade takes a bold approach with a wide, sheep’s foot–inspired blade that delivers far more capability than its size suggests. It’s an EDC knife that breaks away from predictable profiles and immediately stands out, both in hand and in use.

Measuring 6.25 inches overall with a 3.38-inch cutting edge, the El Chappito strikes an ideal balance between compact carry and functional blade length. The thin 0.12-inch blade thickness paired with a tall grind gives this knife an exceptionally slicy feel, making pull cuts, detail work, and utility tasks smooth and efficient. Opening packages, breaking down cardboard, and quick food prep are handled with ease as the geometry does the heavy lifting for you. The blade’s wide profile adds control and confidence, while still delivering clean, precise cuts.

Crafted from 1095 high carbon steel and heat treated to RC 56–58, the blade offers excellent edge performance and ease of maintenance. A tan powder coat finish adds protection while reducing glare, making it well-suited for daily use in a variety of environments. This steel choice reflects TOPS Knives’ commitment to practical performance, giving users a blade that sharpens easily and holds an edge through repeated use.

The handle features green canvas Micarta scales shaped for comfort and control. Micarta’s natural texture provides a secure grip, even in wet conditions, without feeling abrasive during extended cutting sessions. At just 3.2 ounces, the knife feels light and agile in hand, while remaining solid and confidence-inspiring during use.

Carry is handled by a brown Kydex sheath equipped with beta loops, allowing for flexible and secure belt attachment. With a total carry weight of 5.7 ounces including the sheath, the El Chappito disappears easily on the belt, making it a practical option for daily wear.

Built in the USA, the TOPS El Chappito is a compact fixed blade that blends distinctive design, excellent slicing performance, and everyday practicality into one capable package. Available at SMKW!
