It’s a shame they switched from 1095 and went to 8cr & Aus-8 with these newer schrade knives. I’ve got the original Griffen designs schf9 in 1095 and it’s an absolute tank of a budget knife.
It's pretty much a 60-70 dollar clone of the Chris Reeves Pacific for all intents and purposes. The cope is that it's a better knife than the Pacific but I suppose that's true in terms of ever hoping to find one to purchase reliably. I managed to snag my Pacific a few years ago when it randomly came into stock with DLT while I was 1.5 years in on a 2 year projected waiting list (it's about 6 years lead time now and 100 dollars more than I paid for mine) . I'd probably get a few of these Schrades to abuse since the sheath I had made for the Pacific's probably able to fit them too.
The finger grooves were off just enough to be annoying for me. And no, you’re the first to chop with that one. In the years I had the thing, I don’t think I cut anything with it. And no, I never sharpened it. If I did the tip would be even...lol. I probably bumped the edge on something playing with it. I’ll reserve all the reasons why it stuck out for me and let you discover it for yourself. It does look like a better fit in your hands. Part of what I like about you...there’s no Sugar Coating things here...lol
Nice of Steve to pay it forward....That handle is definitely one chunky monkey....Overall very cool looking knife and like that Schrade went with micarta of some type of handles....This will be a fun one to see the results....Good stuff...
You need to get an original SCHF43, the Jess X, the ones with saber grinds before they ruined them with hollow grinds. I've had one since the second run and, they are tanks. Probably the single best X-large knife Schrade ever made.
Hello I have owned this knife for years and honestly Im not sure if you have ever seen the Chris Reeves Pacific fixed blade it kinda reminds me of it not sure which one came out first check it out cool vids thank you
Ugh Schrade ruins so many knives with that stupid hollow grind. Their old schf was .25 1095 with a flat saber grind and a clip point...for $35. Just absolutely amazing.
Schrade is famous for screwing up an otherwise fantastic knife with hollow grinds because it is a cheaper manufacturing process. However a hollow grind will destroy a knfe that should have a flat or saber grind for strength and toughness.
About the only way I’d own a schrade at this moment in time, is if it was gifted to me, just like yours. Chances are it would be re gifted after a short period of playing with it. It must be cheaper to manufacture hollow ground knives. Hollow grids have a place for slicing knives, but no place on a knife that is going to see hard use. Let’s see what a hollow ground 3v knife can do, if there is such a thing.
I have some Schrade knives and roughed them up a lot. My 36 got a little chip when I accidentally hit a concrete block. Fixed that. I like them😊
Awesome.
Schrade makes good knives
Crazy, just been looking at this.
Ill purchase if you give it a good grade!
Thanks,
Steve

Reminds me of an expensive ass chris reeves knife
It looks very similar
Made from pattern Chris Reeve Pacific 100..look..the same knife..but still this one by Schrade is much better

I have a Schrade Adder in AUS10 that seems pretty good... though I must admit I haven't used it yet. It was only $16.
Just learned today that is knife is discontinued...and mo longer available..

Lol. Thank you. And I really do appreciate the knife. And honestly after a few mods this thing will be awesome.
LOL I throw my boxes away!
Bought one a couple years ago, nice, handle is a little bulky but nice
Yeah. Very bulky

Bill Harsey/Chris Reeve design made by Reeve Knives. I’m assuming Schrade licensed the copyright.
I said it looks just like it in the video lol

I couldn’t agree more

Always measure from the bottom, lol
