What a great little system to give as a gift to someone just starting out in bushcraft and/or preparedness. Also looks like a great combo for a get-home kit (extended). If you lose one or both, you are only out 25 bucks. Not too shabby!
The only complsint i had was the knife was really light weight but 2 yrs later the combo still works. The hachet being full tang as allowed to use the hatchet to beat on a steel splitting wedge
All of Us Men are Little Boy's at Heart , I always enjoy seeing how Brian's face lights up when He gets to throw something at the tree ! It never fails to bring a smile to my face , Keep throwing them and We will keep watching them !
I think that's exactly the camp hatchet I've been looking for. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. The knife is just gravy. Always look forward to Schrade Saturday! Thanks Bryan!!
Brian, take the hatchet and dip the handle in Plasti-Dip tool handle dip 1 coat every 45 minutes. After five coats it will be soft and pliable but won't stick to your hand. Then grip it nice and tight. It will give you a truly custom grip and the extra rubber will really help with the shock. Plasti-Dip is great for your machete handles too.
Oh my, that is a sweet deal. I have used the SCAXE10 for over a year now. I have one in my car and one as my camping hatchet. I agree. It is nice. I have chopped kindling, fell some smaller trees, used it as a hammer and sliced pork fillet with it. No problems whatsoever. I like it a lot. Got even better when I put convex edge on it. For the size it is an impressive little axe/ hatchet. My mom even wanted one for gardening. Lol. Those two with that price is really nice. I got me a SCAXE4 tomahawk couple days ago and I´m looking forward to test it but it has been raining big time today since the morning. Have a great day Bryan :) Big thumbs up! Ps. Your balance testing always makes me smile like a kid. Never get tired of watching that. :)
Thanks to your review I purchased the combo set. Well worth the cash! The hatchet handle would be perfect if it hand the knifes handle. Both came pretty sharp and they will hold an edge very well! I put both tools to the test and I gotta say you can't pass up on this deal! ENJOY THE OUTDOORS!
@@adam.stachowski well after 2 years, they both still see plenty of action. Typically I use the knife for making kindling for camp fires. It has taken quite the beating and still holding strong. The hatchet will last forever as long as you're not splitting rocks. Do I still recommend... yes sir!
So glad you mentioned the lanyard loop, "Not a big fan of that." I know they seem to be popular nowadays, but I remove those lanyards from my knives and tools. Personally, if I can't keep a grip on my tools I need to get stronger (a la "Thirteenth Warrior").
Exactly,you could always give someone the machete that doesn't have a blade out in the woods with you an keep the hatchet as long as you have a knife for food prep an the hatchet for jarder wood projects.good deal in my opinion as well
Brian, I JUST bought that blade. They are marketing it as a Mini Machete with a black blade, and a camouflage pattern (Like you see on hunting gear) on the handle and sheath. I purchased it at Academy Sports and the silly thing is that they had two display boxes on the top of the shelves, where they put extra stuff. They are only $14.99 and so I treated myself. The handle has a nice feel unlike typical machetes that have hard plastic or wood handles. It is light as you mentioned. And it looks nice.
Brian, I think the machetes are basically the same, but after looking at the one I bought, the blade has a hole under the thumb ramp and a false edge on top that extends towards the handle about 2 inches in length. Minor differences, but wanted to be accurate and address my mistake. And the camo pattern is called "snowblind".
Because of ur channel i baught the combo.didnt like the handle to narrow.wraped it in paracord now it feels great.luv the hatchet. Thanks for recommending it.luv ur channel. Very informative
$1.50 for a blade that should work a while is always a good deal. Might try and see if Vicks Vaporub really works as a skeeter repellent. Also used as an antiseptic for minor cuts and abrasions and "fire starter". I've a very small jar of Vicks in the survival stuffs.
Just purchased these items and have to tell ya, they paid me to take the knife. The axe alone was $29.11 the combo was $24.99. So they basically paid me to buy the knife. Have not tested either yet, but will be doing so on my next outing. Enjoy your vids and you have ALOT of good info that I take to heart. Glad you tested these and look forward for more testing in the future.
Great review Bryan! You can't beat that combo price. Glad you didn't need anymore band aids or stitches at that. Thanks and have a great weekend. God bless always
Unbelievable the way that little leaf ended up right where you wanted us to look. At one point you walked up to the camera to show us the curls and stepped on the branch with the leaf. Tough little branch it came right back to the same place. lol
Just realized that you are a plumber. I knew that there was a reason I like you...lol. My dad was a plumber and I did it with him for a couple years. I'm an IT professional now, but I miss those plumbing days. Thumbs up on the vids as always.
Hi Brian, I’m watching this 4 years after it was made. I enjoyed this video. I’m not sure if I would buy it for the knife but I really like the looks of the hatchet. Best wishes.
Survival On Purpose I have no doubts. I use cheap Filipino blades here and they work fine. The trick is to use each blade for the purpose it's meant to serve. Knife for cutting, hatchet for chopping, etc. I love it that Schrade offers lower priced knives. Not everyone is willing or able to afford $100 for a knife they take in the woods with them. :-)
I was that some were, but not at Wall-Mart. Like you said hatchet good, knife will work. In the 60's when I was a kid. My cousin's and I would only take a hatchet and our knives in the woods. Use built all kinds of things. We were young but our family's trusted us. And those dogs sound like small dogs. They do bark alot!
Survival On Purpose hmm that is a really good question? If it is sharp, pointy, bladed, edged, or known to my 2 year old son as a hi-ya, you will throw it.
Forward to 04/07/2018 and Amazon has raised the combo price to $37.99. I already have a SCHF 9 and I love it! I was never into recurved blades, kukri-like, however, after using it on several camp trips it performs like a beast.
i needed a new hatchet so i bought the combo set its a great little tool .igave the knife to my daughter to take to there cottage for brush cleaning she sayes it works good .great value
3cr13 is a steel I don't want to see on a folder or a small fixed blade. But on a large knife, machete or axe it's not bad. Being a low carbon steel it doesn't form a lot of carbide so a lot of that chromium goes to stain resistance and makes the steel tougher. Plus you can only reach a certain hardness on a steel like that(mid 50s hrc) and lower hardness helps with toughness. I have a few of Schrade knives in 3cr13, a Fox machete in 1.4116(same steel as Krupp 4116 cold steel uses) and another one in Nitro B and both are at about 55-57 hrc. Are they as tough as the Ontario in 5160? No, but being stainless I don't worry about them and even smacking rocks on accident does very little to them.
I wish I had known about the combo when I ordered the Schrade SCAXE10. I took the hatchet on a recent AT trail jaunt and throughout the weekend everyone had his or her turn using it. There were 12 of us and every one had nothing but positive things to say...except me. I did not like the knurling on the handle. It was uncomfortable to wield and produced some hot spots. On the trail I tried wrapping it with #36 twisted bank line which seemed to help. At home I re-wrapped the handle with good ole 550 and that worked like a charm. I love the SCAXE10: compactness, balance and it processes fire wood well. The sheath is rather cheesy but it works; however, I secured it shut with a ranger band It always appeared to be on the verge of popping open. I love my hickory handled axes but sometimes I just want to limit my weight and the SCAXE10 fits the bill.
Looks like it could be a good cheap combo for camping, just be sure to bring your sharpening stone. I actually like the size and shape of that knife. Congrats Brian for breaking the 100K subs mark.
I bought that combo , put them in my gmc pickup, I know where they are , after I remember putting them in it . When I bought mine at Walmart, basically I got it cheaper than buying 1 piece at the time . They make mistakes in Walmarts , bought ever box of 22 magnum bullets they had for 1.00 a box . Bought a brick of 22 wrf for 1.00 a box another time they ran through my old 22 magnum like they were made for it
Thank you I have been looking at that combo for a while and I was actually thinking about getting it but it must be a sign you making this video on my birthday and that's something that I've been wanting to get
Hey Brian, just curious if you had the opportunity to test the knife for splitting wood? I know it's probably a moot point with the hatchet, just curious how well the knife holds up to being beat up on. Either way, definitely a purchase I'd consider for my next camping trip!
I ordered the SCaxe10 solo. The combination pack, at least currently, runs at a $17.00 premium over just the hatchet. If I needed a knife (still have the 1980s Schrade knife and stone my dad gave me when I was in scouts... I'd never willingly give them up.) I wish the combo was still as cheap as you showed...
Thanx for the review! 2 questions: (1) How does the machete / knife compare to the Old Hickory Butcher knife? And (2) does the Old Hickory Butcher knife fit in the machete sheath?
I would say that the combination is a great deal because you would expect to spend much more than that price just for the hatchet. I would love to have the hatchet and use it in my kit for camping out. The knife would be kept in a vehicle or at home only though since I have much better knives for camping out.
Sportsman's Guide, and Midway USA have those combos for less than $25.00 as of 07/27/2018 !! Fixing to order from Midway along with a Cold Steel cane knife to make a kukri out of !!
thanks Brian for another great vid I got to agree with you that's a great buy even if you don't need it what a nice starter gift to some one that's just getting into this crazy world of Bush crafting and I think add a mora to the mix and your really set for knives all the best to you and yours Dan in ohio
Hey Bryan. I hope you made it through the hurricanes okay. Do you need anything? I don't know what is going on with Schrade, but ever since S & W took over they are becoming very cheap in thieir stuff. Kind of sad. For instance, I was sharpening my SCHF 52 and the blade rolled. Now I can't get the thing to take an edge to fix it. Kind of irritates as I have only used it once. Any ideas? Hope you are doing well.
Another great review Bryan. Thanks for what you do. I wonder if people in China are as leary about 1095 or 5160 knife steel as Americans are about 3cr13 MoV or 7cr13/ 9crMoV knife steel? This combo pack is a great buy. You can beat on the knife and not worry about losing a lot of money, and I know the hatchet is a winner because you have used it in BS for over two years. If it did not perform you would not use it. By the way, my Buck 110 and 119 were clam packed, and they are excellent knives. Thanks again.
Can't fault that price point, Bryan; Thanks fer enduring then Dang Skeeders to bring this to us Canuck Fella's, Down On The East Coast ATB Terry God Bless
Certainly for someone just starting out, this would be a "well balanced" combo. The hatchet would be a keeper and the knife could be upgraded later but for starting out or on a budget, a definite bargain.
A beautiful set would be great for me in Poland when I fish or camping, but I saw the price, unfortunately I could only look at this set, I do not have enough money, I do not earn enough to afford such a purchase. Great movie and great design. Regards from Poland
Nice review thanks for sharing. Question, why do you push your knife/tool towards your fire lay instead of holding your tool close and pulling the ferro rod away? I have found that I get a more concentrated spark by pulling the ferro rod away than pushing towards my nest or fuzz pile.
I have mixed feelings about blister pack sets. I usually wait till they go on Clearance before I buy any of them too test. The newer ozark trail camping kit is actually decent I'm not sure I would pay 35 bucks for it but finding it on sale for 20 it was a steal. The hatchet was good and the knife was Fantastic I was shocked. The other one I picked up was a cammilus adventure set the knife was good the blade had a serrated part I did not care for. But also came with a nice entrenching tool that impressed me and at 10 bucks on Clearance hard too pass up.
Luv the knife hate the hatchet. Maybe I'm just to old for a short one.lol.luv u.god bless u and yours. Ben with ya for awhile learned alot from u and ur channel..u no we never stop learning. 😉
After seeing you video, I bought this combo set. The scabbard of the knife was shi@ and tore up immediately...the knife is so large and sharp, it just cut itself outta that cloth sheath. So...I made a cardboard sheath and wrapped it with orange duct tape. After working the knife in and outta the sheath some, I coated it with some light oil, then taped it onto my orange Kubota tractor...who would have thought orange was a camo color! Ha ha. Anyway it is there to cut away at ripbrairs, blackberry canes, honeysuckle vines and those low hanging tree limbs that want to poke me in my eyes! The knife is better than a machete for those uses and easy to use! Thanks for showing me this low cost equipment!
Thanks Brian! I've been waiting to find an excuse to get another SCAXE10, because I love that little hatchet, and you just gave me one! I just put the combo on order. By the way, as of the time I placed my order the combo is $24.99 but the SCAXE10 by itself is $26.17. So it's like they're PAYING you $1.18 to order the knife/machete! The knife my not be the greatest blade ever, or made out of a super steel that can cut space/time and still hold it's edge, but it certainly seems functional enough for a car emergency kit and since they're knocking down the price of the axe and then GIVING you the knife... How do you pass that up?
The steel doesn't fracture, so you can fix the dings. Hard to beat that. Half round super fine single cut file will do, add a ceramic rod and you are in bidness. Always keep a half round file in my brute force field sharpening system (BFFSS) for damaged recurves and such. The flat side is great. Actually, you can get a decent edge from just the file done right. Throw in a ceramic rod and maybe even a strop...... well you get the idea. Steel that soft can be a good thing for something so inexpensive. The hollow grind eventually becomes a scandi grind as you sharpen it to a nub.
At the time of me making my previous comment the hatchet is $21 and the kit is $40 on Amazon. It makes sense at the price you mentioned but not at the time i saw this video
Bryan, how did the knife's blade edge hold up to the chopping? Any chipping or rolling? That wouldn't necessarily be a deal killer given the price; just curious.
Mosquitoes feasting on your flesh, eh? Sounds like my back yard. BTW, my wife got me to try Baby Cream to ward off bugs and mosquitos. I was surprised at how well it worked, probably just as good as any commercial anti-mosquito spray or spritz. Give it a shot and tell me what you think sometime.
Nice video. I rather just buy the hatchet for $20 and a 15" szco bowie in carbon for the same price as that kit. If it was made in USA i would definitely buy the kit but for that price for what it is i personally do not think it is worth it
Yeah, the knife is pretty flimsy feeling but the hatchet is a solid little tool. But, since you have the hatchet, you can save the knife for gentler tasks.
What a great little system to give as a gift to someone just starting out in bushcraft and/or preparedness. Also looks like a great combo for a get-home kit (extended). If you lose one or both, you are only out 25 bucks. Not too shabby!
+Alan Williams The hatchet is surprisingly effective
The only complsint i had was the knife was really light weight but 2 yrs later the combo still works. The hachet being full tang as allowed to use the hatchet to beat on a steel splitting wedge

You got some good skills there. Use to like the Schrade when it was made in the U.S.A. , but i might try the set out
I think that's exactly the camp hatchet I've been looking for. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. The knife is just gravy. Always look forward to Schrade Saturday! Thanks Bryan!!
+Mark Ashlock I would bet you will really like this little hatchet. I know I do
"Those sneaky chineses" I laughed so hard on that.

I'd be happy with those items. Thanks Brian.
Oh yeah also,awesome on the throwing,i was getting pretty accurate with my s.o.g. survival tomahawk until it was stolen from me.
I love the way you throw those knives 😁 thanks for your review.
You Rock !!!
Aw shucks. You are too kind.

How about after 2 years? Is the steal that it is made of good enough? Thanks for answer!
@@adam.stachowski well after 2 years, they both still see plenty of action. Typically I use the knife for making kindling for camp fires. It has taken quite the beating and still holding strong. The hatchet will last forever as long as you're not splitting rocks. Do I still recommend... yes sir!
@@johnkaul9183 great thanks, your opinion helped me a lot. All the best! 👊
I like your show have been watching it for a little bit now and the you seem honest to me and Care about what you're doing thank you.
So glad you mentioned the lanyard loop, "Not a big fan of that." I know they seem to be popular nowadays, but I remove those lanyards from my knives and tools. Personally, if I can't keep a grip on my tools I need to get stronger (a la "Thirteenth Warrior").
You bite your self, cut your thumb, then the skeeters and dogs. Good effort keeping your composure Bryan...I was cracking up just watching !
+Steven Robertson I wish I could train the dogs to eat mosquitoes
Same here but good video as always.
nice, bought a few as early christmas gifts for my friends.
+Jim Socks they will be happy
When I saw you throw that axe and knife, twice, you earned a subscribe and thumbs up. Nice job and great video.
Thanks for the support!
Hey Brian, easiest way to get in those blister packs is a manual can opener
That's no fun. Where's the danger in that?
Survival On Purpose look at the bandage on your finger. lol
I love me some Schrade Saturdays!!
+Scott Hill I am glad you like them

Great review Bryan! You can't beat that combo price. Glad you didn't need anymore band aids or stitches at that. Thanks and have a great weekend. God bless always
You too
I just got this. I like it! I have a couple hatchet knife combo's, and this is the one going into my kit.
It’s still a good bargain for those trying to put a kit together on a tight budget. You can always upgrade later if you want to.

Send it back?
As far as fire a little charcoal lighter fluid and a spark will get you going.
I mostly carry a bic lighter in my pocket.
Another great review Bryan. Thanks for what you do. I wonder if people in China are as leary about 1095 or 5160 knife steel as Americans are about 3cr13 MoV or 7cr13/ 9crMoV knife steel? This combo pack is a great buy. You can beat on the knife and not worry about losing a lot of money, and I know the hatchet is a winner because you have used it in BS for over two years. If it did not perform you would not use it. By the way, my Buck 110 and 119 were clam packed, and they are excellent knives. Thanks again.
+csh 62 I guess that clamshell packaging makes stuff harder to steal too
I am going with Gil hibhin machte since you are right about the steel that they use it is just to soft
Cool looking combo! Dang dogs lmao! I see the “Avon Lady” decided to check out your rotation device lol.
Hi vis
Can't fault that price point, Bryan; Thanks fer enduring then Dang Skeeders to bring this to us Canuck Fella's, Down On The East Coast ATB Terry God Bless
+Terry W. Milburn at least I don't have black flies here
Looks good, thanks for sharing. Take care.
Have you considered a great Christmas gift for Chris Tanner yet? ; )
hehehe that was funny :-)
Thanks for the honest review. Keep up the good work.
+North Country Adventures thanks for watching
Thanks. I was wondering about this set
I'm glad it helped.
Thanks Bryan! Nice job on your review & Nice Shirt Brother ! 👍
+Tony Navarro thanks
So how does the SCAXE 10 compare to the Estwing leather stacked hatchet? I have the Estwing and like it. Trying to justify ordering the SCAXE10 combo.
+robfromaz1977 is smaller and lighter.
Certainly for someone just starting out, this would be a "well balanced" combo. The hatchet would be a keeper and the knife could be upgraded later but for starting out or on a budget, a definite bargain.
A beautiful set would be great for me in Poland when I fish or camping, but I saw the price, unfortunately I could only look at this set, I do not have enough money, I do not earn enough to afford such a purchase. Great movie and great design. Regards from Poland
Nice review thanks for sharing. Question, why do you push your knife/tool towards your fire lay instead of holding your tool close and pulling the ferro rod away? I have found that I get a more concentrated spark by pulling the ferro rod away than pushing towards my nest or fuzz pile.
+Mad Painter I have tried it both ways. That just works better for me.
I have mixed feelings about blister pack sets. I usually wait till they go on Clearance before I buy any of them too test. The newer ozark trail camping kit is actually decent I'm not sure I would pay 35 bucks for it but finding it on sale for 20 it was a steal. The hatchet was good and the knife was Fantastic I was shocked. The other one I picked up was a cammilus adventure set the knife was good the blade had a serrated part I did not care for. But also came with a nice entrenching tool that impressed me and at 10 bucks on Clearance hard too pass up.
Luv the knife hate the hatchet. Maybe
I'm just to old for a short one.lol.luv u.god bless u and yours. Ben with ya for awhile learned alot from u and ur channel..u no we never stop learning. 😉
Most sharades.are made in China now
After seeing you video, I bought this combo set. The scabbard of the knife was shi@ and tore up immediately...the knife is so large and sharp, it just cut itself outta that cloth sheath. So...I made a cardboard sheath and wrapped it with orange duct tape. After working the knife in and outta the sheath some, I coated it with some light oil, then taped it onto my orange Kubota tractor...who would have thought orange was a camo color! Ha ha. Anyway it is there to cut away at ripbrairs, blackberry canes, honeysuckle vines and those low hanging tree limbs that want to poke me in my eyes! The knife is better than a machete for those uses and easy to use! Thanks for showing me this low cost equipment!
I am glad it helped.
So am I! Ha ha
Looks like a great product, but my wife said NO lol blessings to you and yours 😇
+MrSIXGUNZ same to you
Thanks Brian! I've been waiting to find an excuse to get another SCAXE10, because I love that little hatchet, and you just gave me one! I just put the combo on order. By the way, as of the time I placed my order the combo is $24.99 but the SCAXE10 by itself is $26.17. So it's like they're PAYING you $1.18 to order the knife/machete! The knife my not be the greatest blade ever, or made out of a super steel that can cut space/time and still hold it's edge, but it certainly seems functional enough for a car emergency kit and since they're knocking down the price of the axe and then GIVING you the knife... How do you pass that up?
Hard to beat that
The steel doesn't fracture, so you can fix the dings. Hard to beat that. Half round super fine single cut file will do, add a ceramic rod and you are in bidness. Always keep a half round file in my brute force field sharpening system (BFFSS) for damaged recurves and such. The flat side is great. Actually, you can get a decent edge from just the file done right. Throw in a ceramic rod and maybe even a strop...... well you get the idea. Steel that soft can be a good thing for something so inexpensive. The hollow grind eventually becomes a scandi grind as you sharpen it to a nub.
Man, where did you find that combo for that price!?!? The best I've seent around right now is about $36 with free shipping. Thanks!
oh well, deal with it. that's awesome man way to keep doing a good job. put those couch Commandos in their place. keep up the good work
Thanks. I appreciate it.
I like this vid, not every body can afford a Gransfors.I do have a question, what happened to your Bronco project? Just querious.
+fishing unboxings and reveiws channel oh it is still there. It has absolutely no brakes at the present moment and I have not had time to fool with it
At the time of me making my previous comment the hatchet is $21 and the kit is $40 on Amazon. It makes sense at the price you mentioned but not at the time i saw this video
Bryan, how did the knife's blade edge hold up to the chopping? Any chipping or rolling? That wouldn't necessarily be a deal killer given the price; just curious.
+05generic what a little chopping I did with it did not seem to hurt it at all
Great video Brian! It's seems like a fine knife for $1.50.
Indeed.
you amazon link shows it for $24.99 + free shipping and that's good. a good price. thx - thumbed ya up!
+Martina Dejaquiz cool
Great Video. Take care.
+Frank Webster thanks Frank
Currently on December 24th 2019 this set is $32.97 on Amazon
Please do a "how to" vid on attaching a Schrade type knife with belt loop to a molle bag (have the Schrade SCHF 36), thx.
Off hand I'd say use zip ties
Survival On Purpose there's got to be a better way, I think I'll check Amazon for some type of adaptor.
I tried to zip ties but they pinch the blade.
I use paracord and do a modified lashing. That holds the axe to my pack quite securely and enables me to unlash it if I need to do so.
How does the Schrade hand axe compare to other manufacturers?
I think it is a good one.
The hatchet it sizes" will be a handy one for a lady.
Have you tried that new (well I think its new) mosquito repellent watch, its supposed to be quite good (allegedly)
thanks for the heads up!!!
Thanks for watching.
Dont let them troll ya bro
Mosquitoes feasting on your flesh, eh? Sounds like my back yard. BTW, my wife got me to try Baby Cream to ward off bugs and mosquitos. I was surprised at how well it worked, probably just as good as any commercial anti-mosquito spray or spritz. Give it a shot and tell me what you think sometime.
Nice video. I rather just buy the hatchet for $20 and a 15" szco bowie in carbon for the same price as that kit. If it was made in USA i would definitely buy the kit but for that price for what it is i personally do not think it is worth it
Cool review. Subscribed
$19.99 right now on amazon but doesn’t ship until June 22nd. Many saying the knife is just a Bowie knife and breaks easily.
Yeah, the knife is pretty flimsy feeling but the hatchet is a solid little tool. But, since you have the hatchet, you can save the knife for gentler tasks.
Quit doing the sharpness test on your fingers! lol I was really surprised that the knife/machete was hollow ground. Nice video again!
Surely you weren't really surprised.
"...with the mosquito's feasting upon my flesh" Thumbs up, lol.
Well, they were...
I got this awhile ago, just a few bucks more than that hatchet alone
Indeed.
I got the combo on Amazon for 19.99$ and the hatchet just by it self was 23.99$ so of course I got the combo
Of course
