I like the look of the knife.  Hell, every time I go to TOPS website I see stuff I like.

Anyone have a silent hero?  What do you think of it?

Buy it! If you don’t like it send it my way.

I'm a slow learner.  I learned if I order a knife I've never held I have about a 50% chance of liking it.  Then I have to sell it losing some $ in the process.

And that's only if I'm not too lazy to post it for sale.

I've read some reviews and laughed when I heard it described as the survival chef knife

I have one.
Have a patriot leather revolution sheath on order for it too.

Have not used it yet.  But my impressions are:
Great size and balance
Sharper than my other Tops knives that are a bit thicker.
Can't wait to chop down a tree with it

EDIT-
actually, its a Sagewood PRS deluxe sheath with the vertical carry conversion
Been so long, I forgot what I ordered

Thank you.

Nice collection.

I like hearing that the blade is a bit thinner than what's typically found on knives that size.  That's one of my biggest complaints with many knives.

I guess I should say, its thinner than the other Tops I have.
They are all ridiculously thick.

Its still thicker than say, a Kabar.
I can throw my calipers on some of these as a comparison if you are interested.

Thanks for offering but I'll just look up the spec and check it out with my calipers on some other knives I have.  That will give me enough to consider.

Thanks again.
