El Chete - TOPS Knives
This blade was designed with one thought in mind... chopping. With a 1/4" thick blade that is a full foot long, it will do that very well. Even though it's large, the knife still weighs in under 2 pounds.
Handles are thick enough to fill each user's hand like a hatchet or small ax handle would. Sandwiched Micarta is used and is well rounded for comfort with the black canvas Micarta underneath the green canvas Micarta.
The sheath is black Kydex and you just pull up slightly then out the front so that you don't have to strain to pull the knife all the way up through the sheath. Strap snaps into place for excellent retention of the blade. Available with rotating spring steel clip or a leather dangler attachment.
El Chete is the first TOPS knife to be released with their new finish called Acid Rain. Because of the process we use, the finish varies slightly from knife to knife so that each person gets something unique
