The Papa Delta from TOPS Knives is a great example of this saying. The small neck knife was designed with self-defense in mind. It is both concealable and strong for defense. Its small size makes it legal in almost all countries. However, you will need to verify your local ordinances concerning double-edged knives. The TOPS Knives Papa Delta was designed by Leo Espinoza (President of TOPS Knives), and has design inspirations from a retired intelligence officer/police officer. The knife is made to be concealed. This is why the profile is 0.13 inches thin. The Kydex sheath can be worn around your neck, over, or underneath your shirt to conceal it. Its small profile allows it to easily slip into any pocket. (Photo by TOPS Knives). The Papa Delta is made of 1095 high-carbon steel and TOPS Knives’ excellent heat treatment. The knife measures 5.88 inches in length and weighs just 1.1 ounces. It can be worn all day without sacrificing comfort. The double-edge spear point tip offers enhanced self-defense capabilities. A deep fuller is the process of running the length of the blade from the two edges to the center. This helps to lighten the Papa Delta, and gives it a sleek appearance. The blade is 1.63 inches long, which may seem short for defensive purposes. However, it is strong enough to reach surface veins as well as tendons. It can also cause severe damage to the throat. This small knife, like the.22, can be used for self-defense. Although it won’t do as much damage as a larger knife it is worth the tradeoff in size and concealability/EDC. It is a ring knife with a twist. The Papa Delta ring has an intentional gap in it. This allows the finger to slip out of the ring without breaking if your grip is severely compromised. The Papa Delta is finished with TOPS’ Midnight Bronze Cerakote, which makes it aesthetically pleasing. Editor’s note: TOPS Knives have been a staple in my life for many years. They are resilient and can withstand any abuse. People often ask me what knives I recommend after a long career in the knife industry. TOPS is always a top recommendation. The heat treatment at the company is among the best in the business. But, as with all things, sometimes knives slip through the heat treatment. Contact them if you have any issues with any of their knives. Availability The TOPS knifes Papa Delta are now available at a MSRP of $150.00. TOPSKnives.com has more information.
