TOPS Szabo Express Fixed Blade Knife TPSZEX01

The TOPS Szabo Express Single Edge Fixed Blade is a knife built with serious performance in mind, blending rugged design with practical execution. Designed by renowned martial artist and knife designer Laci Szabo, this blade reflects both his combat knowledge and TOPS’ reputation for uncompromising craftsmanship. Whether carried for defense, field use, or as a reliable tool on the job, it’s a knife that demands respect the moment it’s drawn.

The 5.63-inch drop point blade is forged from 1095 carbon steel, one of the toughest and most proven steels in the industry. Known for its durability and ability to take a razor-sharp edge, 1095 has long been favored by hard-use professionals and survivalists alike. To add extra resilience and corrosion resistance, the blade has a black Cerakote finish, reducing glare while protecting the steel from the elements. Its single-edge design offers controlled cutting while still providing excellent thrusting capability, making it versatile in defensive or utility roles.

A full tang construction runs the entire length of the knife, ensuring maximum strength and balance. The handle is fitted with black canvas micarta scales, a material prized for its durability, grip, and ability to perform in wet or dirty conditions. Stainless steel hardware secures the scales firmly, while a lanyard hole at the base offers additional carry or retention options. At 10.38 inches overall and weighing 7.5 ounces, the Szabo Express delivers a strong presence in hand without becoming cumbersome.

Every detail is designed for reliability, from the precise grind of the blade to the ergonomics of the handle. Carry is made simple and secure with the included black Kydex sheath, offering dependable retention while allowing for quick deployment. Proudly made in the USA, this knife represents a union of tactical practicality and handcrafted quality, standing as a trusted choice for professionals and enthusiasts alike.

The Szabo Express isn’t just a knife—it’s a tool of confidence, built for those who expect their gear to perform when it matters most. With Szabo’s influence and TOPS’ execution, this fixed blade stands ready for any challenge.
