I bought an schf 9 YEARS AGO because of this channel... lol now imma buy this one, because of this channel

@NunzioBruno 10 ай бұрын

I was just thinking the same thing! Of the few Schrades I still have from 5-10 years ago this is one of them, witt the old style sheath mentioned. It's inspired me to dig them out and touch up the edges for old time's sake.

@jedi_drifter2988 10 ай бұрын

I bought an SCHF 9 in 1095 back in the day and it's a good 1 tool option, since it is very versatile, plus it's Gorilla tough. I am glad they brought it back with the saber grind like the original.

@str8razorslim206 9 ай бұрын

I have the old 9, plus the 42, 42d, and the 55, all 1095 and Taiwan-made. I like the Brian Griffin designs and decked mine out with Joe Snarski micarta scales. Only blades I own where the scales cost more than the knives! That’s kinda like when the rims cost more than the car, I guess… LOL

One of the first knife channels I've seen was yours with the BK7. I bought the BK7. I would by no means call myself a collector, but I've managed to get quite a few knives since my first knife purchase. God bless. Keep up the good work.

@matthewmarek1467 10 ай бұрын

I loved these as budget knives when they came out. I liked a lot of the Brian Griffin designs he did with Schrade; he had a very cool little companion blade too. I have both the SCHF9 (carbon steel) and the SCHF9N (stainless). Kind of a pain to resharpen, but absolute beasts. This would always be on my short list for people looking for a big camp/outdoors knife. Great to see them back and performing well. Thanks for giving these a look Chris,

Interesting upgrade to AUS8/10 for these new releases of old designs. Chris…thanks for sharing these reviews and letting us know what Schrade is up to 🙏

I still have the 9. I had to regrind the top. Broke the tip off. So i clipped it and ground the side down. I also painted the scales blue and hardware orange. Good knife. processed some fire wood for about 3 years once a week in that time frame by my buddy using the wrong tool for the job.

I could make the sheath work. Drill out the rivets, line it with felt, bolt it back together with #6 machine screws. Add a Teklok belt clip and a retension lock, good to go.

AUS-8 is actually pretty tough stuff. I'm sure everybody has seen Joe-X test out Survival Lilly's knives made out of the same steel. Not endorsing her knives because I think they're a bit overpriced for what they are. But with a good heat treat AUS-8 will get the job done. Just doesn't hold an edge very long. Makes it easy to sharpen though.

Great demo of that blade, I have several schrades, I'm with you on the grinde.....maybe they'll get away from employing hollow ground blades to their knives, and start producing more styles featuring flat grinds.....I'm buying one!!!!.......hope your heath improves

@michaelhernandez410 10 ай бұрын

Looks like I'll keep my SCHF9. I agree that the old sheath is better. If someone isn't old enough to have had the chance to buy a 9 when they first came out, I believe aftermarket sheaths are available. The new knife itself looks good, and I think 1/4" of AUS8 should be more than stout enough. BTW, if you have the patience, it can be made shaving sharp. Except for the sheath, it looks like an excellent upgrade. Kudos to Schrade.

LOL, very nice review of it Chris. It's not all bad then I guess. After reading they're made in China now I am glad I asked them to remove my name and logo from them when we parted ways. I suspected from conversations with my brand manager they would move production of it to China I don't want my Dad's name on anything made in China, that's what caused us to part ways to begin with. I see they made new molds for the handle scales, I hope the new scales are better than the old ones were. At least they had enough since to not do the same silly hollowgrind they did on the SCHF9N in the sillier 8CR13MoV steel, certainly not a steel I'd choose for an "extreme survival knife" personally. If I ever run into Morgan again I may have to apologize for my comment on the old sheath system.

I looked at the 9 when it came out but didn't like the thought of sharpening the recurve on it. Otherwise that whole line seemed pretty good, especially the ones with G10 scales. Aren't these coated? I thought, but also haven't tried, using it with a ferro rod wouldn't work. I thought you need bare steel for them to strike sparks. I guess I need to try it with my ESEE before I grind off the coating in a section of the spine.

@preparedmind101 10 ай бұрын

I could.... If they listened to me like they did back in the day. I discovered the flaw in the Scaxe2 and 4 and they fixed it. I helped them a LOT and they got popular enough for the current owners to buy it. Something happened at that first turnover that usually happens when companies get sold where they look for ways to make more money. I blame the previous boss because he straight lied to my face when Jess-X got hollow ground suddenly and the heat treat was rushed. I worked in a machine shop fabricating metal parts. I know how step by step QC works. You don't "accidentally" make 2,000 knives with a completely different grind. He flat out said "hollow grinds are cheaper because it's one step on one machine." Sometimes a hollow grind works. But not usually with big choppers and especially not splitters. That "Bolo" seems to be an exception. Different steels can be good if you got the individual heat treat down. Schrade needs to fix these plastic sheaths. The belt clips are too tight. A passable nylon sheath would be better on this knife. But I'm happy to see this knife retained it's hard use toughness even though it's not 1095.
