Tops seems to be pooping out amazing choppers. We were blown away by the Storm vector last time. Now it's time to see how the El Chete holds up. This knife is a giant slab of steel with a very sharp edge. Knowing the previous results from the El Chete we put it up against a strong opponent.. The Fallkniven Modern Bowie! Who will be victorious?

Hey DBK. Can you please do a review of the TOOPS Silent Hero? I think it is one of, if not the best all-around knife that TOPS makes. I want one and I love it. The sheath is not very good, but I got an aftermarket one.

@@wild_goose_0285 I have a Tops Silent Hero. I wasnt thrilled with the Rocky Mtn Tread handles so I ordered their substitute smooth ones. Their even worse! To thin and narrow. So I put the RMT ones back on and wrapped them with Wilson grip tape. Then had a local Kydexer make a sheath to fit the wrapped handle. It is a great all round knife (camp bushcraft survival combat) :)

@wild_goose_0285 3 года назад

@@figtreeprophecy That's interesting. I personally have no problem with the Rocky Mountain tread handles. I did a little bit of sanding to smooth out some of the edges and they've been fine sense. I spent a fair bit of money on an aftermarket sheath by Yellowhawk custom Kydex. I seriously suggest looking him up.

"Some people regard the durian as having a pleasantly sweet fragrance, whereas others find the aroma overpowering and unpleasant. The smell evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust, and has been described variously as rotten onions, turpentine, and raw sewage. The persistence of its odour, which may linger for several days, led certain hotels and public transportation services in Southeast Asia to ban the fruit."

@jez76 2 года назад

@@michaelcandido2824 Suströmming had got an extremely strong (bad if you like) smell, but the taste is mostly a salty, umami and ”fermented” taste. Delicious if you can get past the exteriors. Durian is very different and a lot has to do with level of ripeness. Much like an avocado in texture, and the taste goes from unripe fresh banana like taste, to a mushier softer texture which has a more mature taste and smell. Personally I like it, but I can’t eat to much of it. After a few bites, it’s like when you had to much pizza. You know you like it, but you just can’t stand it at the moment. I’ve heard if the Icelandic one, a shark I think. Never tried it.

@JRPapollo 3 года назад

I have had an El Chete for a little while, and I've found it's downfall (for me at least) is that it is HEAVY. The damn thing weighs a ton, and when you're processing a lot of wood, it really wears your arm out. The BK9 however is the perfect wood processor. It's the perfect balance, so you can chop all day and not get worn out.

@jameshealy4594 3 года назад

If you're actually processing large volumes of wood, why not use something more specialised like axes, saws, chainsaws etc? Not trying to be a jerk, I just don't really understand the mentality of using a knife to do that sort of work, no matter how big it is.

@JRPapollo 3 года назад

@@jameshealy4594 I do use all of those. I especially like and use many axes (Helko Werk, Husqvarna, and Gransfors Bruks). What I have found for processing branches 1inch and less is the BK9 is fastest out of anything. If you like axes, I recommend checking out the Husqvarna splitting hatchet; it's amazingly effective for its size. Also the Helko Werk Spaltaxt. It's a very fast splitter when you don't quite need a maul.
