There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Many other reviewers seem to complain a great deal about the extended and full-sized grip but I find it just perfect for my average size male hands. (For reference: I cannot palm a basketball and I have a too short and weak grip on a football which always kept me from playing quarterback. Also, I wear men's large gloves but they are slightly loose) But the grip on this knife seems perfect for my hands.
My knife came quite sharp - it just needed a little stropping to smooth it up. The grind could have been more symmetric, sure, but that really doesn't bother me for the bush craft uses I intend for this blade. Actually, this blade looks like it had more hand finishing than CNC work I bought this knife to use and abuse in the field not for show nor for something to impress people with by slicing tissue paper or shaving my forearms with! And I always prefer 1095 carbon steel, but you never really know how good the heat treatment on any blade until you have beaten it up a bit and re-sharpened it a few times. Even high-priced knives can sometimes come with poor heat-treatment - it happens to the best of them. The recurve on the SCHF9 blade is not a problem to sharpen if you use a large size ceramic rod or diamond steel rod, which are available on Amazon at low prices.. I am used to using and re-sharpening kukri shaped machetes that way, and it just takes a little practice.
As for the sheath, yeah it is a little cheap and it is not made for left hand carry due to the slanted guard, but fortunately, I'm a leftie who has learned to draw with a reverse grip over the years and I can always find or make another sheath if necessary. It seems that no matter what price you pay for a knife these days, it comes with some cheap sweatshop made sheath - so that is just something to expect.
So in summary, I am quite pleased with this low cost, Asian-made Taylor Brand Schrade knife as far as matters of price, ergonomic design and out-of-box quality, but only time will tell how much abuse it can endure. Upon initial inspection with some light use, I believe it to be a good value compared to similar and higher priced bush craft/survival type knives.
I've been bringing this with me camping for more than a year now and it has held up brilliantly. I've used this knife for everything from preparing food to chopping wood to digging holes. It's an incredibly useful piece of sharpened steel. The 1095 carbon steel takes and holds an edge exceptionally well. The jimping on the back and the finger groove on the front really add a nice touch to the blade, and give it a bit of an extension allowing it to cut through thicker wood.
Stress tests, I've done them. Because of the low cost of this knife, I don't have any issues with beating the carbon our of this thing if I need to, and have chosen to to prove it's worth. And is hasn't disappointed, not one bit. I was camping with it at a festival (not my usual scene) and we had a lot of pre-chopped fire wood, but most of the pieces were hardwood and too big to start a fire. i started to baton with the knife, but wasn't getting too far through the hardwood and the knots since i didn't have much to hit it with. Then I found that someone brought a 20lb sledge hammer with. I grabbed that and started batoning the back of the knife with it, and it split the wood quite fast. Sure, it left some dings and dents in the backside of the knife, but I'd be surprised if it didn't. Besides, I like a good, used look to a tool. I was able to plow through a ton of wood that way, and the knife really took the beating well. Right after that whole ordeal, I sat down with a chunk of wood and was able to make a nice feather stick with the concave part of the blade. After that, I checked the edge, and it didn't seem to even notice the work it just did. On another camping trip in the woods, I used the back of an axe to do the same thing (hard to baton with an axe). Same thing, held up really well with only some dents on the back. I even missed my target a few times and caught the knife right at the tip, and because of the approach angle on that tip, it didn't break off.
The included holster for it deserves it's own review. It's really of great quality and has everything I could ask for in a holster. Multiple mounting option, holds the blade securely, and has a great storage pouch. I've added items to the pouch to make it my perfect outdoors kit. Hanging from the outside I've added a piece of firesteel (lights immediately against the back of the knife) and a small flashlight (made by Oveready). On the inside of the pouch I have an ESSE arrow head, fishing hooks, weights, and small bobbers, 4-5 sticks of firestarters, some wire for snares, some dryer lint for kindling, and some iodine tablets. And of course a bunch of paracord. If all I could take is one thing into the woods with me, it'd be this knife, the holster, and what I have in the pouch. To make it stay on my leg tighter, but to prevent it from binding when I crouch down, I've replaced the paracord leg strap with some elastic cord.
A couple things to point out. The finish on the blast started coming off after the first camping trip with it. After more use, you can tell that the blade has been used. I personally like the look of a used knife, so this is not a problem for me. When I got back from my first trip, I just put it directly away without thinking about it, and when I looked at it a couple weeks later, I noticed a couple spots of rust on the blade. I grabbed some steel wool and was able to buff that out pretty easily. From that point on, if it wasn't in use on my hip, I keep it oiled with mineral oil, and I've never had any other issues since. This is just a basic factor of taking care of a nice blade made of this quality of steel. Also, because of the recurve in the blade, some may have some issues with sharpening the concave part of the edge. I found that I could use the edge of my sharpener to get in here, and I have no problem keeping this part of the blade ready to chew through wood. After my first heavy use of it, I noticed that the grip was such that it gave me a blister on the inside of my thumb. I've purchased a cheap pair of leather gloves from a hardware store to wear while using it (good to have around a campsite anyways), and now my hands are completely unscathed from continuous chopping.
Overall, this knife is well worth the money, and then some. If anything happened to mine, I'd immediately replace it with exactly the same knife.

鞘も頑丈で落ちることはなさそうです
So why the heck did I get this knife in the first place and give it a 5-star rating? Because this knife is one well-made and well-priced big solid chunk of 1095 carbon steel. You pick it up and just know that you'll be OK - zombies or no zombies. And while this knife is not great at anything, it can get just about everything done! You are going to be the weakest link - not the knife!
I also really like it because it is NOT tactical. Sure, tactical knives are all cool and stuff, but take one of those knives to a campground and you'll either scare little children or their moms will call the cops on you or both. What's nice with this Schrade is that while it's undoubtedly a big knife, it doesn't look nearly as threatening.
And when you're done with chopping down trees while looking for zombies, you can just take this knife and put it on a shelf. And it'll do that too, looking good that is! Just please do yourself a favor and put some mineral oil on it before you put it away since carbon steel rusts. I also recommend taking a toothpick and putting a tiny drop on each of the 8 screw heads in the handle. They rusted on my knife after I washed it one day, but hey at least it wasn't the knife itself!
By the way, I do like the handle on this knife and don't find it slippery - contoured tang further helps with the grip. One thing I did do though was make a lanyard for it out of paracord because if you're going to swing it around (to chop those trees) then many bad things can happen if it flies out of your hand.
If there was one complaint that I have about this knife is not the knife at all but the sheath - the knife can only be put into the plastic insert one way which was a major hassle since I'm left-handed. I pulled out the rivet at the bottom of the sheath that's holding the insert in place, rotated it and replaced the rivet with a small screw. That fixed that issue. However, the knife is still hard to take out of the sheath with one hand unless you tie the lanyard to your leg. There are aftermarket sheaths for this knife and that's what I'm thinking I'll have to get next.
Update: I discovered that the sheath available as "Angelbubbles Hunting Black Leather Belt Knife Sheath for 7 Inches Knife with Pouch (Black)" here on Amazon (and has different names elsewhere) fits this knife perfectly. A little pocket at the front fits a SpeedySharp-style carbide sharpener (awesome for use with ferro rods) and a loop next to it is a perfect fit for a Red Rock flint striker. You can pass your belt behind the pocket for vertical carry (the knife then sits a lot higher than the original sheath which allows for one-handed draw) or clip it to your backpack. I attached a picture showing my SCHF9 in this leather sheath next to the original sheath.
