Designer Leo Espinoza
First shown at the 2020 SHOT Show New Products Showcase, The Bestia was very well received, for obvious reasons.
Leo wanted a large kukuri-like chopper, but not an actual kukuri. So, 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.

No doubt large knives/choppers are cool. I have my share of them. But I stopped playing the turn my knife into an axe game years ago. My pack always has my axe, saw, and 18" Tramontina machete. Covers all the bases and is not that heavy at all in the proper pack (I have a modified USMC ILBE).
Chopping and batoning massive logs with large blades is for the birds...especially when frozen.
If I lived back down coastal SC and FL a stout belt knife (no more than 6" of blade) and the machete is all I needed there. The machete would baton reasonable sized wood and bamboo (wrist thick) just fine without worrying about taking damage to it.
Probably would use that for cutting brush like branches, basically to clear a path or something
Then you have a 300 dollar machete doing what a 30 cold steel could.
Blood on the steel, steel in the blood said my grandpa
Just bought one,,,,,for the coming Zombie Apocalypse. 💥💥💥👍😎
Damn son, that is how it is done!
Maybe you could file down the knife edge close to the finger choil and make it dull so you don't cut yourself again.
The heat treat must be terrible.
I’d be sending that back. QC issue. Poor heat treat.
Not quite. This is how all of Tops knives are due to the differential heat treat. You don’t have to worry about the knife snapping. But the cons of a differential heat treat include warping/bending. I really hate this about tops. I wish they’d just do a regular heat treat process. ESEE has a bomb proof heat treat. They should just use ESEEs. Then we could sharpen our spines on our tops knives as a bonus. The ol adage that if it ain’t broke don’t fix it doesn’t always hold true.
@@pubplays368 So then it’s not so much of a QC issue, rather still a poor heat treat issue.
@@surviveanything4765 In a way yes. I understand the idea behind the differential heat treat. But metallurgy says otherwise. It’s just a marketing gimmick from tops at this point. I really like some of their designs. But man it’s disappointing that they won’t change or at the very least, offer different heat treated versions of their products.
Freddie Krueger new toy
Probably a faulty heat treatment...
You don't say?
Now why wouldn't you have swung the blade at the round like you would an axe to see if it'd split it from blunt force with a wedge shaped blade rather than trying to baton it all the way through 🤔
What a joke. Tops has fallen off or just let the quality control of desingers go.
Poor design, heat treatment isn't great, and high priced. Thanks TOPPS
