Born in the Idaho wilderness, the TOPS Knives Tex Creek 69 is a field-proven hunting tool. It’s named for the rugged Tex Creek wildlife area (Unit 69) near the TOPS facility, where it was rigorously tested against the elements. This is not just a knife; it’s an expert’s personal blade, originally designed by TOPS’ VP, Leo Espinoza, for his own hunts.

Consequently, the design is purpose-built for performance. You’ll feel the exceptional control from the Tan Canvas Micarta handle, which features TOPS’ proprietary ‘Rocky Mountain Bull’s-eye’ texture for a non-slip grip in any condition. The blade itself is a robust system, pairing the legendary toughness and field-sharpening ease of 1095 high-carbon steel with a protective Tan Traction Coating for superior corrosion resistance.

This full-tang workhorse is a tribute to serious outdoorsmen. It includes a premium brown leather sheath for secure carry. For those seeking a larger version of this proven design, we also recommend the TOPS Tex Creek XL. Like all tools from Tops Knives, the Tops Tex Creek 69 is proudly made in the USA.
