- Today we take a look at the Tops Knives Bestia. This is something very different from the historically inspired pieces we usually review. Even still this little beast is fun, good looking, and started to win us over. But was it enough to justify its $400 price tag? We'll let ya know in our official review!

Thank you for the review!
good to see you back
Definitely an interesting interpretation of the form!
I like that this blade is one of the few western interpretations that understands that the chopping is often done with the section that is hooking back towards you rather than the more "axe like" convex section on a traditional khukuri.
I don't think I like the decision to go with a sheepsfoot tip on a blade like this though. In my view deleting the belly makes for a blade that is a lot less useful for slicing, food prep and surface work. It also puts the tip as the leading point in a swing- meaning that it's at high risk of damage if you were to overswing into rocky dirt, hidden steel posts etc. On a traditional khukuri the upswept tip helps avoid this by putting the more well supported belly portion of the blade out in front. I think it could also significantly reduce the ability to chop up wood against a stump as a chopping block- it forces a difficult wrist angle and reduces power due tot hat leading tip rather than a leading chopping area.
On a ginunting or similar lean brush clearer I can see the utility in the hooked tip to ensure that the fastest portion of the blade can snag and snip through flexible scrub. On this blade though I don't know if I see the utility. In a martial application I think the sheepsfoot vs upswept tip is a bit of a wash for a blade of this weight and size.
Take care.

I'd like to see one that has the forward tip, but that also curves inward to a straight tip further out. A type 2 falchion in knife format would be quite unique.
@@pinarppanrapir9489 there definitely wouldn't be much in the market that looked like that!
Pretty cool. Personally I would get the apoc kukri instead. Basically the exact same thing but much cheaper.
Есть подобный на востоке часник делает😊
А это больше на серп или кукри
