Hornero
Full Control on an EDC Blade
Stop compromising with small fixed blades that force a cramped, unsteady grip. The TOPS Hornero delivers the solution: a rugged, compact fixed blade that merges a portable 3-inch blade with a full-sized, ergonomic handle. Designed by Argentinian survival expert Tomás Reynoso, this knife finally solves the problem of sacrificing control for compactness, giving you a tool that feels solid and capable in your hand for any daily or outdoor challenge.
- Full-Sized Ergonomic Handle: Experience unmatched comfort and control with a contoured Tan and Black Canvas Micarta handle designed to fill your hand, eliminating fatigue during extended use—a rare feature in a compact EDC knife.
- Rugged 1095 Steel Blade: The 3-inch sheepsfoot-style blade is made out of proven 1095 high carbon steel with our renowned differential heat treat, providing a brutally tough tool with exceptional edge retention for all your utility and precision cutting tasks.
- All-Day Carry Kydex Sheath: A custom-fit black Kydex sheath with a sturdy belt loop ensures the Hornero stays securely and comfortably at your side, ready for quick deployment whether you're in the wilderness or tackling chores at home.
- Survival-Tested Design: The Hornero’s design isn't just for show. Every curve and angle was developed by a survivalist who understands what’s truly needed in a reliable field knife, giving you complete confidence in your gear.
Named after the national bird of Argentina, a creature known for its resilience and masterful craftsmanship, the Hornero embodies that same spirit. Tomás Reynoso channeled his extensive wilderness experience into creating a knife that directly challenges the "small knife, small handle" industry norm. The result is a purpose-built survival EDC knife that provides the leverage and stability of a much larger tool. The tough 1095 steel blade, protected by a durable black traction coating, is perfect for everything from whittling and feather sticking to processing light tinder and handling everyday cutting jobs with precision. This is a tool built on the principle that a smaller blade shouldn't mean a weaker grip.
