TOPS Szabo Express Single Edge [SZEX-01]

By the time Laci designed the Express he had been carrying large folders for self-defense in his waistband for years, sometimes overseas for security details, where firearms were not allowed. His goal was to bridge the gap between a large folder and a small fixed blade. In his words: “After attempting to use my folder in several emergencies, and having to use both hands to open the blade, even though I could open it with a flick of the wrist at home… I realized I needed to design a fixed blade. Don’t get me wrong, I am not trying to bring everybody down to my martial arts level. I’m sure there are badasses out there that can flip open a butterfly knife in a life-or-death situation… not me.

Features: Black Cerakote-finished single-edged blade made from 1095 steel. Textured black canvas micarta handle over a full tang. Lanyard loop and black kydex sheath. Description: Large enough for battle but deceptively light, the Express is a fighter knife for the ages. Renowned hand-to-hand fighter Laci Szabo designed this knife with fast deployment, easy use in split-second situations, and efficiency in mind.
