El Chete = AMAZING!!

Love the El Chete! Took it to Florida and used it to chop palm branches. Normally a super tough job, the El Chete chopped with ease. My brother was super impressed with the knife. TOPS topped out on this one. Highly recommend. Great SHTF blade as well. Looks like something that would have been carried in the movie series Revolution. Two thumbs up and five stars for sure!!
