TOPS Knives Tex Creek XL Black River Wash Fixed Blade Knife Gray TEX XL
Tops
The Tex Creek XL is an expanded version of the beloved original Tex Creek knife, crafted as a durable homage to the outdoorsmen and women frequenting southeast Idaho's Tex Creek area. Designed by TOPS Knives' Leo Espinoza, this knife introduces the distinctive "black river wash" blade finish. This technique leaves the 1095 steel blade with a darkened, heat-treated edge, offering a rugged, well-used appearance and a ready-for-action vibe. Each knife's finish is unique, ensuring no two are exactly alike. It features a sturdy full-tang construction, complemented by black canvas Micarta scales and a generously sized lanyard hole for easy carrying. The Tex Creek XL also comes equipped with a high-quality leather sheath, making it a reliable companion for any outdoor adventure.
