Details

The El Chappo from TOPS Knives is a massive carbon steel cleaver that is as functional in the kitchen as it is in the woods. Like the Italian 'manaresso', the El Chappo will split anything you lay before it, from a side of beef to a hickory log and anything in between. Subtlety is not a word you'd use to describe the El Chappo. That said, the nearly full height grind on the tall sub-¼" blade makes gives excellent slicing performance in food preparation if need be. The weight and balance of this blade will have you chopping all that can be chopped! This version comes with TOPS' Camo blade finish.

Brand new directly from TOPS Knives, USA.

Blade: Thick, 1095 High Carbon Tool steel is differentially heat treated for optimal performance. The nearly full height grind and slight curve of the blade makes chopping on a flat surface a breeze. Since the blade is carbon steel we recommend keeping it dry and well oiled after use. This version comes with TOPS' two-tone Camouflage blade finish.

Handle: 3D Contoured Black Canvas Micarta handle scales are attached over red liners to the full tang blade. The handles are comfortable and secure even in wet conditions and a pronounced finger choil area allows for a close grip for more controlled work or grip the palm swell toward the pommel end and just go to town! A lanyard hole is provided to deliver the added security of a lanyard during use. Always make sure to keep important things clear of the path of the blade...legs, fingers, pets and small children come to mind.

Sheath: A Kydex Blade cover is held in place with an elastic shock cord for storage and transport.

1095 High Carbon Tool Steel: Highly popular, simple carbon steel. Used extensively by both production and custom knife makers. Low abrasive wear due to low carbide content but very tough and easy to sharpen. Not corrosion resistant and will rust without proper care.
