El Chappito

The TOPS Knives El Chappito, designed by Leo Espinoza, is a hardworking everyday carry knife built for users who appreciate performance with a distinctive design. Its wide blade profile, inspired by a sheep’s foot style, provides exceptional slicing performance in a compact and easy-to-carry format.

The blade is made from 1095 high carbon steel with a thin grind that delivers outstanding slicing ability. From opening packages and cutting cardboard to light food preparation, the blade geometry allows smooth, efficient cutting performance. The Coyote Tan finish adds durability and a rugged visual style.

Despite its broad blade shape, the knife remains lightweight and discreet for daily carry. The green canvas Micarta handle scales offer a secure and comfortable grip even in wet conditions. A brown Kydex sheath with versatile Beta Loops allows multiple carry options including appendix carry, scout carry, or pack mounting.
