I'm loving your commitment, time, money and effort to bring this torture tests. No BS, just straight results from the products. Thank you Sir!

thanks, i really appreciate your comment!!! Wait for the Cold Steel Talwar.....

I have had my Silent Hero since 2014 & it is served me well in the African bush

[@joex]

cool, good to hear that!!! awesome blade!!

[@Natecoxy]

Tops do a "differential heat treatment" so the edge is harder than the rest of the blade..... probably helped it hold together

Awesome awesome beyond hard use test! When chips are down, it's good to know how much punishment your tools can take before it fails. Please test Tops Apache Dawn and Legion 6.0 If you could also test some knives from Lion steel particularly the T5, M5, T6 and M7 models.

[@joex]

thanks, i will take a look into that!

[@j.p.4541]

I own an M7 and would love to see as well.

[@willbrink]

Knife snobs like to look down on Tops for using 1095, as it's not latest greatest super steel, but it's clear they have their HT down to a science, and other than corrosion resistance, likely as good or better than most super steels costing far more $. Not saying that as a Tops fan boy either, as I don't own one and never have. I also add, I was really surprised how poorly the Fallkniven with Lam CoS steel performed in the same testing, a knife I do own! Hmmmm.

[@joex]

and the Tops Operator 7, was also kind of shitty!

[@brr8888]

Super steels hold an edge longer but they usually aren’t as tough as 1095 with good heat treatment.

[@stavrosmihalis3502]

I will say that your videos revealed that TOPS does not heat treat the entire knife. Only the cutting edge and they call it differential heat treatment.That saves them allot of money on energy and labor costs.

[@joex]

yeah, and still they are freaking expensive!

[@survivalguyfyi5718]

It actually costs more money to do a differential heat treat because they have to harden the whole blade just like a one hardness knife and then go back a second time and heat up the spine, drawing the hardness out, working their way towards the edge. There’s a few other ways to do it but they are even more expensive to do. If they are sending these knives off to a Heat Treater, I 100% guarantee they charge more for a differential heat treat. And since the 1095 held up that well, I would be surprised they are Triple quenching as well. Though I can’t afford this knife, I think it’s an incredible value. I would say a large portion of what you are paying for is the heat treat. They very well may be using Paul Boss for this. I know he retired some years back but I believe he sold his business to someone else who is continuing his work.

But the handle looks like it is not pleasent for carving whittling. Just like many other Tops knives. Great blade, but the handle is the reason I would not buy one. Also the price. 240 euro? No thanks. Tops is a lot about looks. "Rocky Mountain thread handle". Gimme a break. Zero ergo's.

[@joex]

actually i like the handle, it is not so bad, but i would prefer Micarta, i think they have newer models in micarta, but u are right, the prices are crazy, and i am still upset from the Storm Vector!!

[@Ve-suvius]

@@joex I know those handles. I've had them , several Tops. Same as the old flat handle of the ESEE 6. I find them very uncomfortable. I like oval shaped handles. But yes, tastes differ 😋. The Storm Vector hehe. Well, most knives you test break. So don't mourn too much about it. It's also due to the price, the mourning is bigger because of that. I can buy 6 Mora Bushcraft Black's for the price of one Tops. 20 Mora Companion carbon's... For most knife tasks those shorter knives are way more useful. Larger stuff is machete territory. I don't live in a jungle. Well maybe a concrete jungle. Shorter knives are preferred there anyway. When's the zombie apocalypse going to start? Maybe Putin that murderous idiot wants to start one.

@@Ve-suvius oh, i am not getting political on a "knife-channel", but Zombies are real, we just don't know it yet!!!

[@Ve-suvius]

@@joex Micarta's too slick for my taste. same as G10. There's a reason handles of tools(hammers, screwdrivers) are made of rubber. They work. They are grippy, warm to the hand, they damp vibration . Very comfortable. Durability is not an end to all means for me. And rubber can hold up well actually. Where micarta can get scratched badly also. I know of cases where parts of the micarta handle broke off. Put micarta under your shoes. Haha, doesn't last too long, and doesn't walk that pleasant.

[@Ve-suvius]

@@joex I get that. No hate to Russians here. But the world is better off without that war mongering KGB creep. Russians are better off also. They deserve a better leader than that.

[@stavrosmihalis3502]

Definitely not a new concept to purchase a tool and misuse it but to air it, is. What you are doing is misusing a tool which people find entertaining. That's fine but logically what you are presenting yields very little useful information. Knives are made for cutting. Large knives for chopping items softer than they are. Not sure if you are aware but in general the harder the knife the more brittle it is. A carbon knife say made from 1095 that is hardened greater than 60 will chip and break if smashed because it loses its toughness. The heat treatment for hardening a carbon steel creates internal stresses. 1095 steel tends to perform best at HRC of 58. Most useful knives for cutting are hardened beyond HRC 56. Some exotic alloyed knives more than 67 HRC but that type of hardness makes them too brittle to strike against a hard surface because they can chip or shatter. If not, they can't keep a sharp edge. If you want to smash a piece of hardened steel but not break you have to go down to a sledge hammer or or a blunt piece of hardened steel like a crowbar. These 45-50 HRC hardened steels will likely smash your rock, wreck your cars, dent your steel pole but will not be able to fillet a fish, properly gut a deer, carve wood or stab a Perp like a hardened steel knife will. With that being said, your videos are entertaining.
