The custom, handmade handle is crafted by Anthony in our shop using ten carefully layered pieces of micarta and G10 to create our beloved Mexican Blanket pattern. The layered construction technique results in a handle that’s not only visually striking but also incredibly durable and tough. Each piece is made by hand with attention to detail, giving it a one-of-a-kind look and feel that stands out in both performance and style.

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.
