raccaHey! I've owned my Silent Hero knife from TOPS for a couple years now, it's awesome! We actually used it in the kitchen for a few months, and occasionally still give it a go, but mostly on specialty foods, like watermelon or on something that needs a strong blade. The thickness of the blade makes this the ultimate balance between a camping knife, survival knife, fighting knife and cooking knife. But it's not perfect at any one thing. It's just a bit too thick and beefy to be a replacement for a proper chefs knife (many great ones can be found here at Drop.com). Likewise with the others, but if I could only carry one BIG knife in the woods, this would be it. It's also beautiful and hyper functional. Please join me at: www.patreon.com/Patriot1
