Meet the designer E3 Jesús Arellano: Dicer 8 TOPS Knives 2023-04-28 | In this episode, we are excited to introduce Jesús Arellano, the creative force behind the design of the Dicer 8. Now a tradition at TOPS Knives, an employee design contest takes place each year. TOPS asks its employees to design a knife for specific use with some required specs. In 2016, it was a hatchet. In 2017, it was a chef’s knife. And that is how the Dicers were born. Jesus Arellano has been the graphics manager at TOPS since 2013. Nearly all of the photographs on the TOPS website, social media accounts, and advertisements are either taken by Jesus or edited by him. Out of over 20 submissions, his design for a chef’s knife was selected as the one we liked the best.So the Dicer 8 chef’s knife was the first in the series to be designed. The blade is roughly 7.75” in overall cutting edge with a little more belly than a standard chef’s knife and is made using CPM S35VN steel. The premium steel will hold its edge better than most kitchen knives and take a very keen edge. The handles were made to be comfortable with a lot of contouring, especially where the thumb and index finger would grip for a pinch grip. This makes using the knife for long periods, preparing large meals for family and friends, for example, a breeze. It also comes with a Kydex blade cover so that the knife can be stored in a drawer or easily taken to the campsite for preparing food outdoors. If you already love TOPS’ quality, fit and finish for your other knives, the Dicer kitchen knives will be a no brainer.

Meet the designer E2 Craig Powell: Yacare TOPS Knives 2023-04-18 | In this episode, we are excited to introduce Craig Powell, the creative force behind the design of the Yacare Machete and the General Manager at TOPS Knives. Inspired by his visit to the Costa Rican Jungle, Craig has managed to bring a unique touch to the world of knife design through the Yacare Machete, which stands as a testament to his vision and creativity.Jungle expeditions have often served as a rich source of inspiration for TOPS Knives designs, with examples such as the Brakimo and Tanimboca Puukko. The Yacare Machete is the latest addition to this series, crafted to meet the unique demands of the jungle environment.Craig first encountered machetes of a similar style during a trip to Costa Rica, where he saw them being used by locals and featured in decorative pieces. The design of these machetes shared some similarities with barong-styled blades but had a distinct flair that set them apart from the typical Central American machetes. This unique style captured Craig's imagination, and his experience on the Bushcraft Global trip in 2015 further cemented his desire to design a machete of his own.Despite not considering himself a knife designer, Craig's passion for the project led him to collaborate closely with Leo Espinoza, the owner of TOPS Knives, to bring the Yacare Machete to life. With Leo's guidance, Craig transformed his vision into a design that seamlessly fits within the TOPS lineup.flowcode.com/page/topsknives
Meet the Designer E1 Ana Espinoza: Field Dog TOPS Knives 2023-04-11 | In this episode, we have the pleasure of introducing Ana Espinoza, the talented designer of the Field Dog and wife of Leo Espinoza, the owner of TOPS Knives. Ana has been an integral part of the TOPS team since 2012, playing various roles within the company and contributing significantly to its growth and success.Throughout her tenure at TOPS, Ana has been involved in numerous aspects of the company's operations, from cord wrapping handles to overseeing the procurement of all necessary items, including parts, tools, and even paper towels. Her familiarity with every TOPS knife available in the market today speaks volumes about her dedication and commitment to the brand.It was in 2019 when Ana's creative side shone brightly. One night, while Leo was away at a show, Ana found herself sipping a beer and spontaneously sketching a knife design at the table. This was unusual for her, as she hadn't planned to create a specific type of knife or draw inspiration from an existing design. However, her creativity flowed freely, and the result was the birth of the Field Dog.The Field Dog features smooth, flowing lines and curves that make it an exceptional choice for processing fish, birds, and small game. Its design caters to those who prefer a pointy tip on their hunting knives, enabling precise cuts and efficient handling. Ana's ingenuity and passion for the craft are evident in this unique creation, which has become a valuable addition to the TOPS Knives lineup.flowcode.com/page/topsknives
