Tops Knives Silent Hero Grey

Why Juan Stocks This

The Silent Hero was designed by Anton Du Plessis during his work combating wildlife poaching in South Africa—where knife failure wasn't an option. It's built for conditions where "good enough" gets people hurt.

Juan selected this knife for customers who need a serious fixed blade that can handle chopping, batoning, fine carving, and field dressing without babying it. At 12oz, it's light enough for all-day carry but heavy enough to work. The 1095 steel takes and holds an edge, the Micarta handle gives you grip in wet conditions, and the leather sheath is simple and durable.

This isn't a showpiece. It's a tool for people who actually use their knives.

The Backstory

Designed by Anton Du Plessis (former Chief of Operations for the Specialized Interdiction Unit of the Silent Heroes Foundation), the Silent Hero was purpose-built for anti-poaching operations in South Africa. It needed to be durable, versatile, and reliable in extreme field conditions.

The result: a 6.38-inch 1095 high carbon steel blade with drop point design for slicing and tip strength. Practical features include lanyard holes for safety cords or spear lashing, finger choil for precision cuts, and Black Canvas Micarta handle with Rocky Mountain Tread for secure grip.

Comes with black leather sheath featuring single snap loop for fast access.
