How does TOPS define destruction? El Chete.

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 so large, the knife still weighs in under 2 pounds.

El Chete is the first TOPS knife to be released with our wicked 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. We wanted the handles to be thick enough to fill each user's hand like a hatchet or small ax handle would, so we decided to use sandwiched Micarta. It's well rounded for comfort and the black canvas Micarta underneath the green canvas Micarta adds even more to the aesthetics of this piece.

The sheath is an out-the-front design with all the bells and whistles. 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. There is a strap that when snapped into place, helps immensely with the retention of the blade. We've also made it available with our rotating spring steel clip or a leather dangler attachment so that each user picks the right fit for him or her.

If you're in the market for a large knife, you've definitely found it.

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!!

El Chete is a BEAST!

I saw this knife (chopper) for the first time about a month ago. And as soon as I picked it up I KNEW I had to have this knife! It fit my hand perfectly. So well balanced in the hand. 1/4" spine!! I put it through its paces and it ended up being everything I was hoping for and then some! You will NOT be disappointed! And the price was AMAZING! A real man's knife

Beast of a knife

This is a beast of a knife. It is an absolute chopping machine. The new acid rain finish that Tops used is awesome I've used mine for months now and there is now where on the coating at all. And the new sandwich micarta handles feel great and really fill the hand. And the kydex sheath this monster comes with is great, looks like something you would get from a good proffesional kydex sheath maker. This is my absolute favorite knifer from Tops and believe me i have alot. If there's ever a zombie apocalypse this is the knife i want with me.
