Leo Espinoza designed the TOPS Mini El Chete to be a more compact, everyday-carry friendly version of his massive original chopper. While significantly smaller, this knife retains the distinct cleaver-style blade profile and durable 1095 high carbon steel construction, now in a thinner 3/16-inch stock for better slicing performance. Furthermore, the Green Canvas Micarta handles provide a secure three-finger grip, or a full four-finger grip for those with smaller hands, ensuring control during detailed tasks.
Consequently, this knife serves as a unique and highly capable EDC fixed blade that handles much bigger than its size suggests. For those who still need maximum chopping power for heavy field use, we highly recommend the full-sized TOPS El Chete. You can also visit TOPS Knives to view their complete series of hard-use tools.
