shrade sucks get a real nife like esee or coldsteel or bucks you wont be sorry

[atactfulben]

@boratjekshemesh first of all it is schrade and it doesn't suck. Also I don't think he will take knife advice from somebody who can't spell knife.

[heyimchels]

Amazon doesn't carry this knife anymore :( But if you don't mind paying 45$ total, you can get it at knifecenter

[cyclist01222]

@heyimchels It may come back. Could just be out of stock.

[BlueDragon3737]

What do you think about the SCHF3N?

[cyclist01222]

@BlueDragon3737 I don't have it but I would certainly buy it if in the market for another. The F3 was 440c but believe taylor brands is changing to a more inexpensive 7Cr17 which usually doesn't hold an edge as well because of less carbon content. The F9 is 1095 and more prone to chipping than 440c. I don't think you could go wrong with either at these prices. You can get a spark from a flint with 1095 but not 440c in case that makes a difference for you. Good luck!

[whiteboypatrickkelly]

its $45 now :(

[cyclist01222]

@whiteboypatrickkelly It actually went over 50 for a week or so but keep watching... I'm sure it will fall below 40 again.

[whiteboypatrickkelly]

Great lookin' knife. I've used Schrade knives for years, and do more outdoor stuff with them in a year than most guys do in a lifetime. Never had a problem. I love to sit around and sharpen a knife at night, so edge retention isn't a big deal for me. I will have to look into getting the SCHF9.

[cyclist01222]

@briargoatkilla I have several Schrades and enjoy them all. Generally, they are great value knives. Thanks for stopping by again my friend!

[goldenscales]

That is a honey of a knife, brother. I appreciate your recommendation. Now, to save some money! Lol!

[cyclist01222]

@goldenscales Thanks for stopping by my friend. Amazon recently increased the price by 20 bucks but I'm sure it will come down again soon.

[nephildevil]

recurve blade ...nah don't want it :p

[iLetDie]

@lardlizard both blades are 1095 steel and only differ by the chromium and vanadium. Regardless, 1095 steel inherently lacks high tensile edge retention, which is intended in its design. It's meant to hold a decent edge that is field expedient in resharpening. Thus, a blade that lasts considerably longer for the amount needed to maintain. Heat treatment for this steel would make little difference so, your only argument is on it's shape characteristics which is completely preference.

[cyclist01222]

@lardlizard I liked the design of the SCHF9 and couldn't find a similar Kabar for the money. Kabars are great knives no doubt but I was referring to your shrade SCHF9 that didn't hold an edge, had poor QC and failed on you.

[iLetDie]

@cyclist01222 This knife does have a nice shape, seems like a great daily tasker for light wood work. Wouldn't want to use it for batoning though, seems like that receded curve would make for an awkward cutting angle.

[cyclist01222]

@iLetDie It actually batons better than it looks... no problems.

[gryphon50]

I agree. I've had this knife for awhile now and I find I'm taking it with me more and more often and I have many much more expensive blades. Haven't had a problem with edge retention. I did thin the edge a little as it was a kind of thick for my taste.

Good vid, good choice.

[cyclist01222]

@gryphon50 I did the same... a slighter angle is a bit better for woodworking and easier to sharpen. Thanks for your input and enjoy the knife my friend.

[cyclist01222]

@lardlizard Sorry your knife doesn't hold an edge and failed. What task were you doing when it failed? No one knife is for everyone or indestructable that's for sure. I've beat this one to death and it stays sharp and can perform well with many different tasks. The fact that it does this and is very inexpensive is why I like it so much. I thought it was a good buy and could care less if it's from China or anywhere else. I had to be budget minded when I purchased it.

[surviva1000]

how much is it? thanks great video

[cyclist01222]

@surviva1000 $37 dollars on amazon.

[surviva1000]

[cyclist01222]

@surviva1000 Schrade extreme survival SCHF9

[CanItAlready]

I still can't get over this knife being designed by a member of BFC. Fascinates me.

[rafterrs]

Surprisingly good knife for so little money. I am a knife collector and knife user in bush craft and fishing related activities. Good video man, have a good one!

[cyclist01222]

@rafterrs It's awesome! Thanks for stopping by.

[Maddawwg45]

[HamBeau]

[ToddIngram1000]

@HamBeau just type in schf9

[fog360]

nice.

[zombiekillerjordan]

I have one with a different handle, ive took it camping, fishing ,and hunting. Great knife.

[cyclist01222]

@zombiekillerjordan Schrade rocks. I need to get more!

[VeronicasMidget]

It reminds me a little of my favourite knife. The Gerber Big Rock camp knife.

[cyclist01222]

@VeronicasMidget I have the gerber also... this one makes it look like a toy. But the gerber is nice.

[ironmonkeyz]

Great video! I'm definitely going to get me one of those. $30 is incredible.

[cyclist01222]

@ironmonkeyz this knife is sick man. I love that Busse knife too but hard to justify the money which lessons the thrill for me. Love the straight blade and flat backbone. The Schrade is a bit longer though and about 5 ounces heavier... better at chopping.

[fredhart]

Wow, that is a high value knife!!! I love the size and shape!

[cyclist01222]

@fredhart It's absolutely ridiculous... should be fly'n off the shelf at this price.
