Leo Espinoza designed the TOPS Quickie (QCK-01) as a highly specialized, “three-finger” karambit for rapid deployment and last-ditch defense. TOPS constructs this compact tool from a single piece of 1/8″ (0.130″) thick 1095 high carbon steel, creating an incredibly durable, no-frills backup weapon. Furthermore, the skeletonized handle features a unique ring pommel designed for the third finger, leaving the index and middle fingers free to grasp other objects while still retaining the knife.
Consequently, this design makes it an excellent weak-hand option for law enforcement officers who may need to transition between their firearm and a defensive blade without dropping either. The Quickie features a Tumble finish to hide wear and comes with a low-profile Black Kydex sheath for versatile, concealable carry. For users seeking another compact, skeletonized option with a more traditional blade shape, we recommend the TOPS Papa Delta.
