The **TOPS Silent Hero** is a large survival knife, designed by Anton Du Plessis. He works for the Specialized Interdiction Unit of the Silent Heroes Foundation in South-East Africa. This foundation is committed to the preservation of wild animals. A good knife is indispensable in the field.

 The Silent Hero has a large 16.5 cm blade. You can immediately see the traces of the heat treatment on the blade. TOPS calls this the *Black River Wash*. As such you can clearly see the differential hardening of the blade. The edge is hard, the rest of the knife is relatively soft. As such the Silent Hero can handle quite a lot before it breaks.

 The handle is made from micarta. A strong composite material made from canvas and synthetic resin. This specific version has a smooth handle. The Silent Hero is also available with scales that are enhanced with the Rocky Mountain Thread (RMT).

 The TOPS Silent Hero comes with a solid leather sheath with belt loop.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.

knife_best_use

We like to highlight what use the manufacturer had in mind, or what we believe the knife is suited for

Best use

This concerns the type of edge [Want to learn more about a serrated versus a plain edge](/en/ct/pocket-knives-difference-plain-edge-serrated.htm)?

Type of edge

molle_compatible

MOLLE is a mounting system that allows you to attach sheaths and other accessories to backpacks. With this specification we indicate whether a product is already MOLLE-compatible by default. [Want to learn more MOLLE](/en/ct/what-is-molle.htm)?

MOLLE-compatible

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).
