FROM A COLLECTION:

TOPS Bestia whopping fixed blade chopper.

  The Bestia was born by melding El Chete - already one of TOPS' most popular workhorses - with a kukri, to create a true beast in chopping ability. The long, forward curved blade and weight behind it bites deep with each swing and the tan traction powder coating will protect the blade for years to come. The handle is also long enough to hold in 2 positions. One for full on chopping and one for more controlled and even fine cuts. What really makes this knife comfortable to wield are the sandwiched Micarta handles that are thick, but well-contoured. The open-backed Kydex sheath with a leather dangler attachment make it easy to carry given its size.

Knife is near mint.   Knife and Sheath show no signs of use or carry.  Original factory edge.  I do see some darkening of handle material around the screws...probably from oil used to preserve the edge of the 1095 blade.  This is not uncommon - Does not affect use at all.  

No box - factory plastic only.  No paperwork or whistle.
