El Chappito
The Unique EDC
El Chappito is a hard-working everyday carry knife built for users who want something a little bit different. Designed for EDC users and collectors who are tired of the same predictable designs, El Chappito brings a wide, sheep’s foot inspired blade into a format that carries easily and cuts far better than its size suggests. It’s a fun, capable EDC that stands out the moment it comes out of the sheath.
Built around a wide blade with a tall grind and thin 0.12 inch blade, El Chappito excels at pull cuts and everyday utility work. Opening packages, breaking down cardboard, and handling quick food prep feel effortless thanks to the geometry doing the work for you. The blade carries more visual weight than most EDC knives, but still slices extremely clean and controlled.
- Exceptionally “Slicy” Blade: The thin 1095 high carbon steel paired with a tall grind delivers excellent slicing performance, making everyday cuts feel easy and efficient.
- Comfortable, Secure Grip: Green Canvas Micarta handle scales provide a confident, comfortable grip that stays secure even when wet, without being harsh during extended use.
- Easy to Carry & Conceal: At just 3.2 ounces (5.7oz with sheath), El Chappito rides comfortably in its brown Kydex sheath with Beta Loops, making appendix carry, scout carry, or pack mounting simple and discreet.
- Wide Blade: The broader blade profile adds cutting confidence and control, setting El Chappito apart from the crowded field of narrow EDC knives.
El Chappito was developed as part of the “El Chappo family” to give users a sheep’s foot alternative to the cleaver profile. While El Chappo Mini leans toward board work and compact cleaver tasks, El Chappito is purpose-built for daily belt carry and utility use, offering a more concealable option without giving up the fun, slicy character that defines the line.
