The Power Eagle 12 is a true force multiplier

For hundreds of years, people have survived by using machetes as a source of income, food, shelter and self-defense tool. TOPS designer Leo Espinoza has taken this tool, combined with a kukuri and a bolo, and enhanced it with highly flexible, impact-resistant steel. The bushcrafter, explorer, or outdoor expert can use it for long periods of time without much effort or fatigue, thanks to the extremely ergonomic, comfortable, and indestructible handle. 

Whether you use it to clear a trail, build a shelter, or for military or survival applications, this is definitely an important tool.

Takeshi Saji was born in 1948 in Takefu (Fukui prefecture), a city located roughly in the center of Japan and in the heart of an area for centuries devoted to the production of blades. His workshop is still there, built around the oven thanks to which, for several years now, Takeshi Saji has been forging steel (especially damascus) with which he makes various models of traditional Japanese knives. The choice of materials for the finishes (mainly natural), the essential lines - evocative of use - and the chromatic combinations of rare impact make his creations unique and unmistakable in the panorama of world cutlery and, at home, they have earned him the prestigious title of Master.
