This blade was designed to replace your axe in your survival kit. With a 6mm thick blade that is a full 30cm long, it will do that very well. Even though it's so large, the knife still weighs in under 907 grams.
El Chete is the first TOPS knife to be released with TOP's blade finish called Acid Rain. Because of the process they use, the finish varies slightly from knife to knife so that each person gets something unique. TOPs wanted the handles to be thick enough to fill each user's hand like a hatchet or small axe handle would, so they 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. They've also made it available with their rotating spring steel clip or a leather dangler attachment so that each user picks the right fit for him or her. This version has the rotating clip.
