TOPS Knives Shango XL - Black Linen Micarta
The Shango XL is an all-terrain survivor with a 440C Stainless blade, 4 inches long, with a stout 1/8" thickness.
The biggest difference is in the grind. Joe Flowers, the designer, specified that the knife have a more accurate angle for a final edge on this flat grind workhorse. As a result, it excels at carving and sharpening.
Of course, this wouldn't be the Shango, without the Shango Notch, cleverly designed by TOPS and Joe. The notch throws out major sparks, despite the roomy 5 inch Micarta handle.
The large back end, allows for more grip when you need to get that extra power during light chopping. Removable screws give the end user the option of placing a small ferrocium rod inside a secret slot without fully removing the scales. A nylon sheath is included.
