NO they're not. It's not just the steel that you're paying for. It's the amount of work that it takes to make the product. Then there's the cost of running small factory, paying your worker insurance, taxes, so forth and so on. But how would you know, you don't produce anything. Also, there's absolutely nothing wrong with 1095 steel. If you think you can make a better semi-custom US made knife for less, go ahead.

Mine had a warped blade from the factory. Took it back to the store for exchange, all 4 blades they had were warped to the side. I also agree with you on the handle. It feels good when you pick it up for the first time, but after doing some chopping you really begin to hate all choils and hooks that serve only to give you hotspots. Funny enough, your earlier review from a few years back is what sold me the blade.

I bought a Silent Hero from Tops at Shot Show last year. I really liked the design and could live with the handle. I brought it home and batoned a small cedar log. It had a little twist in the grain but nothing crazy and nothing I haven't tackled with "lesser" knives many times in the past. It bent the blade. I contacted Tops and they eventually replaced it and scolded me for abiding their knife. I've got this SXB Skullcrusher here for the Gauntlet and immediately chipped the edge on a preliminary test that a Gerber Strongarm flew through with flying colors. On the flip side my Tahoma Field Knife had been outstanding. Tops has failed to impress me more times than not though so your results don't surprise me much.

People expect to much from steel. Even Narsil broke, and that was a magic sword forged by a dwarf master smith. It may be bent, but not much at all. Don't let it bum you out so much. With all the torque from such a long blade combined with a fairly thin tip, it doesn't surprise me that it bent slightly. You must have hit something hard to dull that spot; it wasn't even in contact with the wood you were batoning.
@MrLeonidas00018 жыл бұрын
+TKDLION I agree. The 1095 is not magic steel and with a knife this long its bound to bend a bit eventually. I own one of these and mine has swayed slighty but it has been re-centered by a friend. Not the end of the world by any means. Great intelligent comment here thanks!

+Tactical It is bent, but don't let that get you down. Custom knife makers are always having to deal with warpage from heat treatment. Its not really that hard to fix with 3 round shafted screwdrivers and a bench vise. Put 2 of the screwdrivers adjacent to the warp on one side and one on the other side half way between then tighten the vise bending a little at a time. Retouch the edge where it rolled, add some grip tape to the handle and you are back in business and good to go for the chop off.

As for the knife itself: man, this was a MAJOR flop. Bad sheath, bad heat treat, poor edge retention... it seems like the designer half-assed the "architecture" and the engineer slept on the job when they were making this. I'd normally say that this is what I'd forgive on a budget knive, but there are two problems with that: one, this is NOT a budget knife _in the farthest stretches of the imagination_, and two, look at Schrade! They do sheaths better, handles better, and blades better, and for a third of the price or less! This makes me not give it a go even if it cost thirty dollars, because there are so much better choppers for just a bit more than that. I seriously hope TOPS isn't going the Streamlight route with this, and that this model as a whole is an isolated flop that they will learn from and not repeat further ahead. I guess the answer will depend on how well customer service treats you - if they refuse to cover the tip test bending and the batoning burr _on softwood_, you can just say you're taking your business to a company that sells better shit for cheaper. It worked for me when I was arguing with a (not knife) company in the recent past. Overall, I agree with your score. But considering the MSRP, this doesn't get more than a 2. At all.

You experienced the reason why I don't like to do the tip test either. It's unrealistic to stab a piece of wood with the tip of any blade, that's just not what they are made for. I know, so folks wanna know that if they have to stab a zombie in the head will the thing break or will it kill the freaky looking dude, right? Well when that time comes I want my blade to start intact, and it won't start intact if I bust it on a tree during testing... Now, if the mfr says that they will cover a warranty claim after breaking or bending it when stabbing wood, well in that case stab on friend, stab on. Otherwise we are just asking the thing to do something it was never designed for, and we cannot expect something to perform in a way that it was not designed to perform. Its like getting upset when my stupid little Kia Rio gets stuck during an off road mud run - I was just asking it to something beyond the specs and I got what I was really asking for.

see when I first seen the Armageddon tops Armageddon Chris Trainor from preparedmind101 he had stripped off the black coating, And I wanted one since then and without the black coating on it!an I wanted to get one and bring it back to the original shiny Steel and it looked bad ass, I don't like personally the black on the tops Armageddon. I understand that it helps protect the blade itself or whatever but I just don't like it. I mean I like seeing that you know the little bit that you had done and everything and it probably the way Chris Traynor had it I don't think that it wouldn't have had had held up the way it did with the black coating on it on the knife he would have had more burs and flat spots and probably messed up the blade pretty bad I don't know I really don't know he didn't do anything but it looks badass without the coating on it, the reason why I don't know if anything would have happened is because I'm sure he did the testing without the coating on it but I don't think I watch that show on KZfaq when he did outdoor testing!...... Now as of right now I think that because of what I just seen but it seems like it's a nice knife and just looks really nice and it comes really sharp and maybe is expensive wall mount now that I think about it...

Not for nothing TAC but 1095 is not a very hard steel it does have some give and flex that is why it makes for very good survival knives, it will bend and flex without breaking and that is good, unlike the boutique steels like D2, ATS 34 , 1056 etc . 1095 is rather flexible. You should strive to be more flexible in your thought remember "a warrior should never have a favorite weapon"- Musachi.
