I bought an schf 9 YEARS AGO because of this channel... lol now imma buy this one, because of this channel
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.
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.
It means "found everywhere"
😂 Ubiquitous - present, appearing, or found everywhere. 🐗
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.
Another great budget option from Schrade! I definitely have a new found respect for this company. Give it a decent leather sheath, and I would do it all day!
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.
Ive never heard of joe x or lily
@@alphakennybody2583 Joe-X is a UA-camr that basically does destruction tests on knives, and Survival Lilly is another UA-camr that designed a couple survival knives.
I wanted to say the same about AUS-8. Cold Steel used to use it as their main steel and it never disappointed in the toughness department.
@@aznelite325 I remember watching all of Cold Steel's "proof" videos where they would test them, and at that time most of their knives were made of AUS-8.
G'day mate, yep with ya. Incidentally, I've found the AUS-8A (A = annealed), on the CS Finn Wolf, to be a bit better again edge retention wise. Cheers Duke.
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
I've got 2 first production runs of the 9. one still in the box. I also have the 42d. I bough two of the 56m at$8 a piece and two of the 56lm at $15 a piece when they went on sale along with a second 42d for $15 as well. all from SMKW when schrade was selling out its inventory. I should have bought a Jess X two back then but they were already the hollow grind version that was on sale.
I'll never need to take my second schf9 out of the box! it's now an official heirloom!
Now I am tossing up... this or their remake of the 52 in AUS 8, the Bedrock
cool❤❤
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,
I have Leroy and would love to have the good x someday
Hooked over the pocket and clipped through the material for a tactical low ride, like a Glock knife?
BTW I have the original version of this knife based on your recommendation. 🤝
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.
The original is one of my favourite survival knives 🤘🔪 a mighty blade in thick stock, stout tip, good length, awesome slicing and chopping blade shape and edge geometry 😎🤙 a total winner 🤘 the old sheath is brilliant with extra pockets ✌️✌️Schrade really put out some brilliant knives at great value. 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 🙏
The SCHF9 in 1095 is the Abrams tank of bushcraft knives. Some folks want a Ferrari but they don't do very well in the bush.
❤thank you for all your knowledge!!
You doing great!
Prayers 🦅
I’m starting to think they do AUS8 better than Cold Steel. Never thought I’d say that.
Hi from Spain fan,thank for the review Chris ,love this brand 🦆🇪🇦
The SCHF9 I bought a couple of months ago (June 2024) came with a saber grind, not hollow. I can’t say for sure that it is 1095, but I hope so.
I could use this knife for car camping, but would never carry it because of its weight.
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.
I wanna see more from you with this new schrade rekon! Maybe a weekly heavy use video. turn it into a series!
Damn you have a lot of knives… lol
Ubiquitous -- Present, Appearing, or found Everywhere.
I have the schf52. Just found it again lol
Hi Chris is it possible to get schf 26? I have my old one and still I wouldn't change it for anything after 9 or 10 years. It's practically indestructible + I loved that steel
Ubiquitous - common, everywhere, readily available
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.
Dammit! I hate your intro, graphics is cool and all, but the sound jump-scares the crap out of me every time!! Anyway, I miss your channel so thought I check this vid out.
Hey Chris been watching you for years since the good ol BK 7 reviews! I always thought you made Ka Bar and Becker a TON of money... you definitely should have gotten some comission even though the reviews were real and unbiased. That was and still is a lot of peoples go to blade. I might try the Schrade .... would you trust it if it were your only blade?
Can someone please tell me how to sharpen the Lil Ricky. I just can’t get it right. Even semi sharp the blade dulls quickly
Last Schrade I bought, was a piece of crap. Dulls immediately and the handle split. Doubtful that I will buy another.
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.
Now I see version in Aus 10 and 3.3 mm thick....
Cool blade honestly i just don't care for aus 8 its a mediocre steel at best edge retention is just not there for me rather have 1095
Wow that’s a blast from the past! I bought this 100 years ago and stuck it in an old go bag. I gotta dig this thing out again. I always liked this blade.
Is asu-8 better than 1095 for survival?
“Please stop talking and float faster..” 😂
I don't usually like recurve blades but this one looks decent and the handle looks comfortable.
I've got two schf9's. one modified. one just the edge angle changed. after 10 years of just using the modified one and keeping the other packed away as backup, I decided to get the Rekon. I live in S. Fl. and thought the AUS 8 to be a good option for our rainy season. It is and your right. I wear it in the cordova sheath meant for the schf9, and use the rekon sheath to store the schf9 in. The Rekon deserves the Griffin stamp on it. Too bad it doesn't have it. I've enjoyed it the two times I've taken it out for a weekend so far.
correction: cordora not cordova.
I dont like how large the lettering is on the blade. It's way to big and a bit cringe.
I "Reckon" if you're broke, and need a knife...
I'm gonna need a different sheath...
I like the similar schrade knife with the micharta handle
I have both, and both are awesome 😎✌️✌️
Much prefer the "Carry on my wayward son" music,, 🎶👍😊
That's for the other stuff and it makes your video non-monetizable.
For fire steel use finger choil
Hey where’s Will
good looking knife
Excelsior!❤
Aus8 is tough.
I have the early version of the SCHF9 and love it. Bought the follow-up SCHF9N. First time I tried to baton with it the knife broke in half. 😢. Haven’t really trusted the SCHF9 since but maybe I should give it another chance.
..don't know what it means but it sounds cool..🤣🤣🤣
Awesome Chris! This knife really does seem alright. Hopefully the price over here isn't ridiculous. Great vid, keep going.
Greetings from Netherland
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
I have been watching your videos and something is different. You have changed in a very positive way. I applaud the new you. Congratulations on finding the truth and achieving inner peace. 🤝
Yeah Chris, you probably need to use the sharpener to scrape the smaller ferro rod. Glad you're back. Always love your content and knife designs.
I won a SCHF36, I think it was called. I bought one other Schrade for a beater, before they messed with Chris’s blade.
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 went to Schrade's site and they list this knife as hollow grind. They also say it is aus10 in the description then show it as aus8 in the spec section. Seriously? Get it together Schrade.
Didin you say " No More Schrade" ?
It isn't the same people there anymore. They be making solid folders in the USA and stuff now.
Well that's another one I will add to my collection of useable blades even if I do have to make a new sheath for it .I was not expecting you to be that pleased with it to be honest and I am glad to be wrong again .Thanks for all your help my friend you have saved me a lot of heart ache ,especially with the China made Cold Steel Bushman video .
Watched your videos please provide the accessories such as stealth’s which go with the knife.
Good vidio
Good revew Chris
now, if we could just get them to hurry up and get the Jess-x back
Still rocking a old one, might try the new one out!
Greetings from Texas. 🐗
There uping there game this is awesome! 🤘🤘
Just finished watching the Georgia Bulldawgs win . And your review popped up. Thought I'd tune in and catch it. Wondering about the notch on the sheath , was it a ceramic sharpening tool ? If so does it even work ? That angle looked a bit wide if so.
It does
"..kayak-tards.." 🤣
Is that model still made in Taiwan?
It's made in china
@@Th3DragonLord🤦♂️
I know they got some good people there but as a whole, I'm still salty about how they did you dirty
Those people aren't there anymore
You are the guy that could breathe lif back into Schrade 👏
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.
Which is a better steel AUS 8 or 1095?
depends. 1095 is harder but aus8 is better for me since I live near ocean..I always go for stainless steel. (I am lazy too...dont wanna put oil often..)
Can someone tell me which steel is best for survival purposes 1095 or AUS-8? Thanks... Puccini
One is Carbon, one is Stainless. Depends where you live. The old skool survival/bushcraft people preached carbon because of the old "you can start a fire by beating your knife with a rock" thing.
@@preparedmind101 Thanks for that... I live in the UK, so quite damp! Not much difference in performance though? I have been hovering over buying one of these for some time as they are not hollow grind, following your video I took a peak at what they sell for and they really are budget! Cheers... Puccini.
@@Puccini1966what 1 did you go with?
They're still making in 1095 I just saw the add @ walmart.Go chris👍🏻
What it says on the package matters more.
I don't like recurve blades. But if they made one just like it without the curve, I'd be all in. Also prefer it in 1095 carbon steel.
Why?
@@preparedmind101 The curves look cool. But harder to sharpen consistently. And less useful for food prep.
wait till you get to the I beam
🤷♂️?
@preparedmind101 they got a model called the I beam while their site calls it a Survival knife (naturally) to me it looks like it's designed for penetration and would be a tad hard to baton with
Mora or esee 🤷
Yes
You were looking for it's a incell killer wannaBEE!
