RPG - Road Pup Goyo
Built for the Highway, Tested in the Wild
When you are miles down a dirt road on a motorcycle, space is a luxury you do not have. You cannot pack a heavy toolbox, yet gear failures do not care about your weight limit. Designer Bernabe Velarde of Big B Leatherworks knew this problem too well from long cross-country rides. He needed a blade that could cut cord, slice food, and also tighten a loose screw or make quick adjustments on his bike without digging through packed saddlebags.
The RPG (Road Pup Goyo) blends the structural strength of a fixed blade with the practical utility of a multi-tool. Collaborating with TOPS owner Leo Espinoza, Bernabe created a compact companion that is always within reach on your belt. Whether you are lifting a hot kettle off camp coals, striking a fire, or tightening gear during an unexpected stop, this tool delivers without demanding extra space in your pack.
Its performance comes from these key design elements:
- Integrated 1/4-Inch Hex Receiver: Fits standard bits to act as an on-the-go screwdriver. The pommel features a rare-earth magnet designed to keep your chosen bit securely seated during use, preventing them from falling out when you are fixing gear on the trail.
- High-Grind Thin-Stock 1095 Blade: Offers a perfect balance between cutting strength and slicing efficiency. The 0.125-inch thick 1095 carbon steel blade features a high grind that excels at camp kitchen tasks, fine carving, and prep chores while remaining incredibly durable and easy to sharpen.
- Multifunctional Camp Features: Provides a built-in bottle opener, a dedicated ferro rod striker, and a pot-lifting grab hook on the spine. These features are positioned strategically near the handle to give you maximum control without compromising the main cutting edge.
- Compact Kydex Sheath with Beta Loops: Ensures comfortable, low-profile carry on your belt or pack. The sheath is designed for easy attachment and removal, allowing you to safely use the knife as a screwdriver while the blade remains securely covered, and includes integrated notches to hold two hex bits.
The RPG is a solid, purposeful tool built for minimalist adventurers who demand more from their gear. Carry the Road Pup Goyo on your next journey and experience the peace of mind that comes from having the right tool right when you need it.
Please Note: The RPG is made from 1095 high carbon steel. To keep it in prime condition, always clean and dry the blade thoroughly after use, especially after camp cooking. Apply a thin coat of high-quality oil regularly to protect the steel from rust and keep the magnetic hex cavity free of debris. Additionally, hex bits are not included; because everyone has different needs, we left it to you to decide what bits to add.
