El Chete Mini

When the TOPS El Chete was released in 2017, it took off, immediately becoming a top selling model. Something about the functionality of the blade, along with its aesthetic,s just struck a chord with people in the knife community. The Mini version of the popular fixed blade knife originally became a thought after making some wooden Christmas ornaments that were shrunken versions of full-sized blades. A few of those ornaments looked like they would make awesome knives. So, TOPS decided to get some minis made.

Coming in at 8.75 inches overall, the El Chete Mini is only mini compared to the original. From tip to handle, it’s a 5.50" blade with the same characteristic blade shape that made the original so popular. It has the same Midnight Bronze finish as the full-sized version and has green canvas Micarta handles. The Kydex sheath makes this knife a breeze to carry as an EDC on your hip, and you’ll find yourself looking for reasons to show this knife off once you get it.
