SHOP CASE KNIVESThe TOPS Papa Delta is a precision-engineered fixed blade designed for maximum utility in an ultra-compact package. At its core is a 1.63-inch 1095 carbon steel spear point blade with a midnight bronze finish, delivering both durability and corrosion resistance while maintaining the steel’s legendary edge retention. The spear point design provides a strong, symmetrical tip, perfect for piercing, precision tasks, and controlled cutting in tight spaces. With a blade thickness of just .13 inches, the Papa Delta is lightweight yet fully capable of handling everyday cutting needs and fine work with remarkable accuracy.
This full tang knife extends the steel through a skeletonized handle, reducing weight while retaining strength. The open-frame handle provides a secure grip and allows for multiple carry options, including lanyard attachment for easy retention or retrieval. Weighing just 1.1 ounces and measuring 5.88 inches overall, the Papa Delta is nearly imperceptible on a keychain, necklace, or pocket, making it an ideal companion for those who need a reliable knife in an ultra-portable format.
Included with the Papa Delta is a black Kydex sheath that ensures safe storage and quick access when needed. The sheath holds the knife securely, offering versatility in carry without adding unnecessary bulk. Designed by Leo Espinoza and proudly made in the USA, the Papa Delta embodies TOPS’ dedication to rugged, American-made craftsmanship that delivers performance without compromise.
Despite its diminutive size, the Papa Delta is engineered for practical functionality, offering precise cutting power in a design that’s lightweight and easily deployable. Every element—from the midnight bronze spear point blade to the skeletonized handle—reflects a focus on efficiency, durability, and usability. This is a knife built for collectors, outdoorsmen, and anyone who values a high-quality, compact tool they can trust in any situation. Order it today from SMKW!
