TOPS Silent Hero 4 Knife HERO4-01

TOPS Silent Hero 4 Fixed Blade Knife HERO4-01

The original purpose behind the TOPS Silent Hero knife was to provide a mid-large sized tool to be used by a specialised interdiction unit that was combating rhino poachers in Africa. It is an excellent design and has served many people on multiple continents. Over time, Anton (the designer) realised that he didn’t always need such a large knife strapped to his hip.

This is where the Silent Hero 4 was born. The handle and blade shape of the full-sized knife were perfect for a variety of tasks. The TOPS Silent Hero 4 fixed blade knife is much more easily carried as an EDC, but still long enough to handle the vast majority of cutting tasks. The blade is a bit thinner (3mm instead of 4.5mm). The finish is a Sniper Gray Cerakote (instead of Black River Wash). And it comes with a Kydex sheath instead of leather. So, whether you’re looking for a companion blade for your Silent Hero, or just prefer a blade length around 101mm instead of 152mm, this new Silent Hero 4 will be an excellent addition to your collection.
