The **TOPS Knives Shango XL** is a light-weight survival knife, designed by Joe Flowers. With the Shango XL he has introduced a knife that will feel at ease everywhere. With a weight of only 165 grams you hardly notice that you are carrying it with you. In the included MOLLE sheath you can hang it from your belt, backpack or tac-vest.


Many survival knives are made from carbon steel. Incredibly stong, but prone to rust. For that reason the Shango XL is made from 440C. This is a type of steel that can handle its own and is also easy to sharpen. More importantly, 440C is stainless. As such this knife will also be great companion in humid environments.


The blade is relatively thin which also makes the Shango XL perfect for food prep and hunting purposes. The end of the micarta handle is a little broader which means you also have enough grip during some light chopping work.


When you loosen the messing screws on the handle you will find a small compartment located in the handle. Here you can store tinder, a firesteel or some money. At the end of the pliers you will find a small cut-out. You use this part to scrape a firesteel.


The TOPS Shango XL comes with a luxurious MOLLE sheath. This sheath has a small pocket with enough room for a sharpening stone or other small survival tools.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

We like to highlight what use the manufacturer had in mind, or what we believe the knife is suited for

Best use

This concerns the type of edge [Want to learn more about a serrated versus a plain edge](/en/ct/pocket-knives-difference-plain-edge-serrated.htm)?

Type of edge

molle_compatible

MOLLE is a mounting system that allows you to attach sheaths and other accessories to backpacks. With this specification we indicate whether a product is already MOLLE-compatible by default. [Want to learn more MOLLE](/en/ct/what-is-molle.htm)?

MOLLE-compatible

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).
