The custom, handmade handle is crafted using real abalone shell, carefully set beneath a clear acrylic layer. This process preserves the shell’s natural iridescence while ensuring durability, creating a striking and resilient handle that combines beauty with functionality. 

El Choppo was specifically designed with our friends who love to prepare carne asada and pollo asada in mind, but its versatility makes it an excellent all-purpose chef’s knife as well. The generous surface area of the blade is perfect for effortlessly scooping up chopped meats, vegetables, and other ingredients, ensuring a smooth and efficient cooking experience. Crafted from high-performance AEB-L stainless steel and heat treated to 61 HRC, El Choppo offers a long-lasting, razor-sharp edge that excels in both precision and durability, while maintaining exceptional toughness for heavy-duty use in the kitchen.

With a 7.5" cutting edge, 3" height, and a spine thickness of .125", El Choppo delivers just the right amount of weight and balance to power through a variety of foods with ease. Its robust construction makes it an ideal partner for a range of kitchen tasks, from dicing to mincing. When paired with our 8.5" Chef or Bunka knife, El Choppo becomes the perfect addition to any kitchen, offering unmatched versatility and performance for both professional chefs and home cooks alike.
