Tops El Pionero

The TOPS Knives El Pionero (Model TPELPO01) is a compact yet rugged fixed blade built for reliability in the field. Proudly made in the USA, this knife reflects TOPS’ reputation for producing hard-use tools you can depend on. Featuring a 3.38" blade crafted from durable 1095 high carbon steel, the El Pionero is designed for excellent toughness and edge retention. The tumbled finish not only gives it a clean, rugged look but also helps reduce glare and wear over time. The full tang construction ensures strength and balance, while the tan canvas Micarta handle provides a secure, comfortable grip—even in wet or demanding conditions. A well-placed finger divot enhances control and precision, making detailed cutting tasks easier and safer. At 7.63" overall, the El Pionero is compact enough for everyday carry while still capable of tackling serious outdoor tasks. It comes equipped with a durable black Kydex belt sheath for secure retention and versatile carry options.
