The Mexican tranchete or sacas tripas usually measures 15 to 35 cm in blade and is called a gut cutter because it is usually held in a half-circle cut with the wrist. It is used for agricultural work. It possibly originated in Aguascalientes during the French invasion and spread to all of Mexico during the Mexican Revolution.
