It's a sharpened boomerang!!!!
Would be a good draw knife too I would think.
Got a kukri myself, and that is one great looking blade. Definitely a keeper. I will say a T-Rex's fingernail isn't one of its intimidating attributes.
I like it Tim but for 300 bucks I could get something just as effective a lot cheaper but thank you for the look
I got mine for 170.
Although I don’t necessarily agree with all their designs, there is no question in my mind that Tops makes a high quality product.
Good call. They don’t make junk.
Love this Tops Blade for clearing and grubbing up here in Appalachia. Tops for the Win.
The Operator is still my “bestie” 👍👍🇺🇸
Better than a standard machete, but pretty much a uni-tasker. If you have money to burn, why not. Would be great for thinning out hunting areas or trails, but probably best to save the money and use a tad extra effort with the all purpose kukri. Good review, particularly the last couple minutes of summary.
I have a Ka-Bar Reinhardt kukri which is great for clearing brush but the curve of the blade at the end can give glancing blows. This straight blade looks like it would solve that problem
Ive always liked different and with with the similarities of my favorite blade design (kukri) I think this is a great tool for the woods. Liking the length also. Another to consider if you want something slightly shorter would be the Storm Vector... Very cool design as well... Thanks for the vid man...
The weight is 30something inches?
That would be Idaho
Love the video.
I wish you make a straight blade like that
Sweet zombie blade. I’d consider buying it for about 80 bucks. It’s just a long malformed Kukri. Better metal more contour I would buy it for 300+. And only as a zombie and or meth head apocalypse weapon.
A T-rex fingernail is definitely not what I had pictured when I first sae this blade lol-ol-ol I thought more so boomerang but yes it definitely looks like it'd be a very effective chopper indeed...
Great video!
Looks like a good tool.
I have the TOPS Vector, and it's a damn good chopper, but I bet this one is even better with that Kukri-esque shaped blade! I doubt I'll buy one since I already have the Vector, but I am surely tempted.
I love my kukri but this one is much beefier imho
Made in Ohio??
By Ohio he meant Idaho lol
It seems like a lot of the Tops products are only available on back order especially at the KC. In fact the KC does not even list the Beastia. Does Tops have a supply chain issue?
The knife connection has them in stock for $200
It's "bestia" btw...... 🙏
Zombie Killer?..Thoughts?
Zombie Head Slasher
Just remember folks form defines the function, and creates both the abilities and the limitations of any thing, tool or not, animate or not. Overall though looks pretty good, other than the way it looks, I'd use it in a pinch. Good assesment Tim, well done on that. It seems to me that, at least to this Blacksmith, etc. It's more of a cleaving weapon. My preference is that I wouldn't use it but only because in experience as a designer, maker and user of tools etc, there are better options. Seems to me that it's not Tops best effort.
I concur. it’s a zombie design.
What's your opinion on the Echo Sigma bug out bag complete emergency kit?
Can you send me a link?
The Batista knife didn’t look convincing I’d rather use my folding saw
To be honest I kept watching and waiting for you to try a boomerang throw with it and it didn’t happen. That’s my only disappointment.
My bad on that.
Hey ET, How easy would it be to sever ones hand at the wrist with that damn thing ? You made me nervous moving your hand around the blade. Gotta have it !!
Hmmm / I felt quite comfortable with it
I like the design, the sheath, length, and thickness. Different machetes serve different purposes. I could see this as a good chopper. My favorite slasher machete is KA-BAR Adventure Parangatang with 1095 Cro-Van at about $80. The Beastia is too expensive for 1095 steel. Good review.
That's the biggest issue with Tops. $300+ for 1095 is just stupid.
I agree. Too expensive for 1095.@@Swearengen1980
thats a nice knife
"weight - 31.5 inches"
Ultimate Tacticool, gives me the kukri machette vibe, $215 - $300, way too much for me...
Value
Think you said made in Idaho wrong lol
I would only buy this for the Wtf factor.
I just don't get the idea of a massive chopping blade? A saw is lighter and more quiet. If true chopping is required i find a hatchet or ax is better.
it's made for limb removal and hacking up flesh, I think this guy ignores the self defense purpose of the blade so he doesn't get his video demonetized.
Cool looking but a 30 dollar axe will kick its ass
Until the handle breaks
this thing is designed for removing limbs or hacking up meat.
Top's is way over priced, the knives are ok, but the prices are ridiculous, no thanks.
This is no knife, it's a psychological terror weapon.
It sure isn’t pretty. It’s rather ugly, but it seems to works well.
My folding saw would do a much better job than that no thanks
