Saca Tripas or Tranchete Mexican Fighting Knife Trainer
With help from Maestro James Loriega, The Raven Arts Institute of Sevillian Steel, New York.
Also all training photos shown are from them also.
I have seen this knife from 7" to 16" end to end. We have designed this to be 14".
Saca tripas is a type of folding knife traditionally used in Mexico, known for its curved blade and often associated with gardening or farming tasks. The name translates to "intestine puller," but it is primarily a tool rather than a weapon.
The blade does not flex on thrusting, but provides good simulation for moderate level training.
