TOPS Szabo Express Fixed Blade Knife 5.63in Plain Black Dagger TPSZEX02

The TOPS Szabo Express is a fixed blade built for serious performance, combining tactical precision with thoughtful design for both field use and everyday readiness. Designed by Laci Szabo, this knife brings a professional touch to every detail, reflecting years of expertise in creating tools that are as reliable as they are rugged. From the moment you hold it, you can feel the balance and care that went into crafting this knife, giving you confidence that it will perform when you need it most.

Measuring 10.38 inches overall with a 5.63-inch blade, the Szabo Express hits a sweet spot between reach and control. The 0.16-inch thick blade is made from 1095 carbon steel, renowned for its toughness, ease of sharpening, and excellent edge retention. The black Cerakote finish adds a layer of corrosion resistance while giving the knife a sleek, tactical appearance that reduces glare and enhances durability in demanding environments. The full tang construction ensures strength from tip to handle, letting you tackle demanding tasks without worrying about the knife’s integrity.

The handle is crafted from black canvas Micarta, a material prized for its combination of durability and grip. The textured Micarta scales offer a secure hold even when your hands are wet or gloved, and they complement the blade’s finish with a cohesive, tactical look. At 7.5 ounces, the knife is substantial enough to feel solid in hand without being cumbersome, and paired with the sheath, the total weight comes in at just 10.4 ounces. This balance makes it an excellent companion for extended use in the field, whether you’re performing precise cutting tasks or using the knife for heavy-duty applications.

Carrying the Szabo Express is both convenient and adaptable thanks to the included black Kydex sheath. The sheath features a multi-position spring steel clip, allowing versatile carry options while keeping the knife secure and accessible. The design ensures the blade is protected when not in use and ready for quick deployment when needed, offering peace of mind during any activity. Every element, from blade to sheath, reflects a focus on practicality, durability, and usability, ensuring this knife stands up to both rigorous outdoor conditions and demanding tactical environments.

The combination of Laci Szabo’s design expertise, 1095 carbon steel, full tang construction, and durable Micarta handle creates a knife that is both a functional tool and a reliable companion. The black Cerakote blade not only enhances corrosion resistance but also adds a professional, tactical look that will appeal to collectors and enthusiasts alike. Whether you’re in the field, on duty, or adding to a high-quality knife collection, the Szabo Express delivers performance and dependability in a form that’s as aesthetically clean as it is practical.
