This knife could replace a small machete. This is a huge knife. Crocodile Dundee would be proud.
Whew...I can hear it screaming "Chop with me, chop with me"! Now, I want to do the forest a favor too. Great review, as always. Ty.
I am in love with ....
for me its the top 5 hunting knives ...
I also have the
'' Schbolo ''
of shrade ...
which is perfect for heavy work
I've been a big knife man myself for a long time now, I like the multi use nature of a good large bowie. The SCHF45 looks like one I'd like for a pack knife. I'm currently carrying and have been for probably 6 years now a Timber Rattler Classic Bowie and for $20 it's a great beater. I haven't even considered replacing it until now. Thanks for the review.
Camp Smiley Outdoors Yeah, I like big knives..and little ones...and in between ones ;-)
Hey Brian, your video made up my mind. Im ordering a SCHF45 for my jeep bag. I got a kick out of the way you just turned nonchalantly and stuck the schf45 on the first throw. Whats your background ? Military , LEO , or just a plain 'ol outdoorsman? Keep the good videos comming. R.O.
Boy Scouts ;-)
Survival On Purpose I'm about to earn my Eagle! 😄
bought it thanks to your review. Its the big ole bowie i always wanted that i can actually use and not worry about.
Looks like another fine offering from Schrade, great review my friend and thanks for sharing.
Massachusetts Prepper Thanks!
Love this giant blade. Good video and testing & info. Let me/us know when this knife is available and how much. I definitely want this one. Awesome!
It remind me crocodile dundee . good review by the way cost ?
Yogesh Joshi Not sure yet.
Brian know is very impressive you throwing that knife biggest it is the things balance pretty damn good thank you for sharing great knife
It was fun
Saw other video on this knife coming out, loved it at first sight!
Have to pick one up.😸
BTW; Like the site shirt you where wearing.
Prepare Learn Survive! Thanks.
nice big bowie love it, see if I can get one in the UK for my kit.atb.Russ.
They let you have knives like that over there?
Hey Bryan,
I keep coming back to this video since I got my F45 Leroy. I still can't understand how Schrade could put out such a big knife for only $45.00. I took my F45 out into the woods the other day and it really surprised me in how nimbly it chopped for such a big blade, even at ground level. Also, like you said I didn't get any hot spots and the knife felt secure in my hand. This would also make a great tactical knife if you had to use it that way.
I'm glad you agree
30 dollars on sale now..got me another one.
looks to be a great chopper
It does pretty good.
Definitely gonna order this as soon as I can. Love the style of it.
Cody L It's just plain cool.
I Really, REALLY REAAAAAAAAALY enjoyed the video! Thanks man!
Iratus Jackalope Hah! I REAAAAALY appreciate it.
Gooooooooood!!!!!! :) By the way, I'll be reviewing this same blade soon...
Brian, I bought my schrade 45 because of the great job you did in this video. I absolutely love this big Bowie chopper! it's gone through everything i've tried it on. it's a fine product. thanks again Brian.
Thanks for watching.
How MUCH 💲❗❗❗❗❗
DOES IT COST??????
I gotta have me one of those ZOMBIE KILLERS
Brian is the Schf45 3/16" or 1/4" thick?
capcon6
capcon6 5mm or .20 inches its a tad more than 3/16 but less than a quarter inch
Now that's a knife Chuck Norris would choose! Thanks Bryan 👍
Thanks for watching.
chuck norris doesnt need a knife silly
@@haydennex correct , Chuck Norris cuts down trees with a Karate chop.
I really don't need that knife Bryan, but I confess, I really, REALLY want it.
Oh, and more Mambo please...lol
Who wouldn't ?
Hey man I like your presentation I'm watching you the way you cut through those little limbs it was like butter at knife is damn sure me and I can't believe how you cut that knife is cut through that tree wow I'm really impressed I'm going to order that knife on Amazon they have it for a great price on Amazon I can't believe how nice it is it's huge man it's a big knife wow I feel real secure tote not around I don't think anybody screw around with me if I pulled that out
Bryan you may have to see if you can throw the knife and hit a apple on top of a watermelon. LOL. That is a huge blade.
***** Me? Throw a knife?
I agree .. I think that fine jimping makes more sense.Great Poker as well!! Great Review!
Yep. The gimping does what it is designed to do without shredding your hand.
Bought one of these knives and it was delivered today... It sat outside in 20* weather so it was cold when unboxed.... Try as I might I could bot get the knife out of the plastic sheath. I let it sit for an hour and tried again...nothing. Let it set for 5 hours and was finally able to break it out of the sheath. Knife is great... Took the plastic off the knife and inserted it back to the locked position...and it took most of my strength to get it out. I have several dozen knives that have both plastic and Kydex sheaths and have never had one this tight. That and the fact that when the knife is in the sheath one can not grab onto the handle because the belt loop is solid inflexible plastic so only 1/3 of the handle can be grabbed... Excellent knife but they need to provide a better/safer sheath.
Thanks for video. Looks much better than the Mt-151 clone of the trailmaster
Class knife:)
Indeed.
My wife got me this knife for Christmas and I still haven't had the time to take it out and test it. Still brand new out of the box. Can't wait to try it out in the woods. Great review man. Keep up the good work, love your videos!
+Jeremy Malatt It is a hoss
7cr.... basically 440a....u wanna Bowie get a condor bowie!
If you hit the stump with some pruning tar that tree might come back healthy! Just for sh*ts and giggles!
...I SAW SOME GUY BREAK THAT SCHRADE IN TWO...THAT'S HIM , ON THE RIGHT------->
Dead tree but the skunk homeowner's association might have something to say..you are really teasing me with this one,when will this be available?
This bowie would be perfect if it had a short non-cutting edge next to the choil like some of their Frontier series. Also, the lanyard hole before the choil is not there anymore so you can't make spear of it.
Wow that knife is huge! Good review Bryan!
Stanley Sprow It's a big 'un for sure.
Brian,
Great review! I really like how enthusiastic you get about some of the knives you review. Just seeing you have fun with that big boy makes me want one! My house is out in the woods so I do my share of chopping saplings and vines, so I'm getting one. I was on the fence between the F45 and Jessica X but I think I like the design of this one better.
Don't tell Chris, but so do I.
Decent chopper knife. Got one reaaally cheap. Going to grind away the thumb ramp, and eliminate the finger groove then for me it will be more comfortable. Maybe rehandle it with some nice wood as well.
Great review, I will be reviewing and testing this knife this weekend!
I've been using good ole Leroy for about a year now and absolutely love it. I haven't found any fault besides the aggressive jimping. I saw someone on another channel use a small ranger band to cover that area. Seems like a great idea and will have to try that myself. :)
cool
I just looked at mine , it doesn't have the hole , in the finger guard as that 1 does . Me drilling a hole there wouldn't weaken it , but ill leave it as my grandson gave it to me as , same way he will get it back in the future.
I bought this and as i was testing it out in the forests of the lowland Rockies i was attacked by a huge 8 foot tall 800 lb male mature Grizzly !! I quickly did my Rambo roll to the left then swiftly back to the right on a low trajectory. Slicing open the Grizzes belly as i followed through. Then i quickly swung around to his back, jumped and mounted his upper hump and drove the Bowie down between his lower neck and shoulders. Severing and shattering his spine. When i woke up from my dream i found i s**t myself !!
which Bowie would you recommend between sch45 or the uncle Henry stag? the one with the fake handles
What you call a "popple", we call Maple-- and that sure ain't a popple/poplar you cut down.
You make good videos man! :) really really like what you're doing.. Count on me with a tumbs up! :D
+Benjamin Tutsek thanks
I'm kinda new to survival stuff. With fire steal is it better to pull the fire steal to you or push the knife away from you? Good video tho.
Hero brian Actually, I say whatever works for you. Some folks say to pull the steel so you don't knock your tinder away but I seem to get better results scraping toward the tinder. You just have to be careful not to hit it. A good fire steel and sharp edged scraper make all the difference in the world, however you do it.
Since you are learning I will offer one piece of general advice. If you find something that works for you and you are getting good results, don't be afraid to try a different way but also don't pay too much attention to the folks who will tell you you are doing it all wrong. There are some really opinionated folks who will repeat everything their favorite "expert" says as the only correct way and trash anyone who dares to do things differently. Don't let them get you down. The bottom line is results.
Survival On Purpose That's sound advice Bryan. For example, if one were to need a fire in a tight terrible situation, and you're caught out with a knife that has a rounded spine, well Hell!!...use the rear portion of the blade. As you said......"The bottom line is results."
Charles Larson I would not even use my knife , I'd get a square piece of carbon steel to do that personally
Kershaw camp ten or this
I like them both.
Hey Brian. Just wondering if you knew if schrade can replace the TPE scales. Just picked up the scfh48 "jethro" this summer. I was doing some splitting and the branch came back and messed up my scales.
I wouldn't count on that. It is probably just easier to see if they will replace the knife under warranty. Here's their current warranty info: www.btibrands.com/limited-lifetime-warranty/
It doesn’t scream chop it screams kill it’s a Bowie not a chopper don’t try to make something out to be something other than what it is please
Good video Bryan. I think its so funny how folks in videos are so afraid to cut a sapling out in the woods. We have folks around here bulldozing ACRES of trees and shredding them to make way foe office bldgs., mini malls, housing tracts etc. Don't worry about whacking one small junky tree.. One day, we will see people ripping up asphalt to plant corn.
James Cooper I don't think it;s a big deal either but some folks do. The place I shot this video is quickly becoming a trash filled dumping ground. It really makes me mad but it isn't my land.
Thank you for the review of the knife, but gee... there are dead branches lying on the ground, behind you is dead trunk, but no, too obvious, let's cut some "almost" dead tree. So you cut entire tree just to DEMO the knife, fantastic. What next? Killing a (almost dead) whale just to demo new harpoon? Live the way you don't do any harm -- is this concept too hard to grasp?
+Maciej Pilichowski is really hard to demonstrate how well a knife cuts green wood using deadwood. I think it'll be OK
Say Heah Brian Dundee, "That ain't a knufe,this is a knufe" Bruan, Brian, Brian, everytime they make a decent knife, they mess up on the steel, they use less carbon steel, and sure that makes it stronger, but I want my knife for what it's made for, and that's for cutting, what's wrong with using tge 1095 CroVan, Chris loves his Jessica, or is it his Becky, I think Becky, it's a fairly large blade and he praises it when chopping and cutting, infact he said his BK-7 is his go to field knife, but when he designed his chopper he went with 1075, what's up with that, sure you can sharpen a knife to cut with, but for how long. anyhow it's always nice to see one of your vids.
Thanks
The Amazon reviews for this knife say it's terrible
I just recieved my "Leroy" today. I want a "Bowie knife for basic camp chores. and "battening". ( I smashed my knuckles the other night using a axe and a sledge to split/batten some wood for our fire pit in the backyard.) So I immediately went out and tried it out. What a monster of a knife!!! I've named it "mon frier" I believe that means "Big Brother" in french ...
;-)
i wanna know what you think about the following, please: does this split wood better than the SCHF52M? is this as thick of a blade as the SCHF52M? thanks thumbed you up!
+Martina Dejaquiz I don’t think k it is as thick but I am not sure. The 52 is more of a bushcraft style Blade
I've been a fan of the Bowie since I was a kid in the 50's. I watched that cheesy, by today's standards, Jim Bowie TV series. I have a beautiful Western Bowie in the safe as an heirloom. The SCHF45 will be a working knife. Nice video as always.
James Whistler Thanks James.
Bryan, I'm really liking that knife. Do you think a knife like that or the BK9 makes a hatchet un necessary? It seems like they process wood just as well, maybe better.
James Cooper I don't think so. if I have a lot of wood to chop, I prefer a hatchet.
NowThat's A Knife!!! great vid.
Thanks!
Last week before the kids went back to school, I thought I'd take my next door neighbor kids fishing, the little bluegills must of been to small to catch but the kids had alot of fun screaming I almost had one, and we ran out of bait really fast. So I wanted to brag my skills and I remembered how good frog was to catch bass, so I started looking for a frog, I found a frog, but it was in a Cotton Mouths mouth. So I took a big stick and pressed on the snake and very carefully I picked it up just behind the head, boy I could see how angry the snake looked as I tried getting the frog out of its mouth, so I reached in my back pocket and took my little flask of Jack Daniels out of my back pocket and poured a little in its mouth, the eyes rolled, and it relaxed so I was able to get the frog and place it back down without a problem, and I continued to fish with the frog for bait, all of a sudden I feel something tugging on my pant leg, when I looked down, here was this stupid snake with two frogs in its mouth !, heh heh heh
;-)
Fun , fun , fun
Yep
Much better sheath since they copied Cold Steels thank god! I hate the old nylon leather crap they have had up until now. Looks like a nice big chopper/survival blade!
Paul F It is a great chopper.
Cool review and nice bowie knife:) Hey Bryan! HAPPY fathers DAY:)
40belowful Thanks!!! Same to you.
I really like the fact that 14 seconds in , the knife is shown. Many other reviewers take 2 minutes of rambling before, then another 5 minutes talking about the sheath, and then finally the knife. By the way, what is the intro music? Sorry if it's already been answered.
+mrkiky It me playing a tune I call "The Survival On Purpose Theme". Catchy title, huh?
Question about the knife in this video. Is it comfortable in ur hand? I bought the SchF1. And when doing knife stuff the hand guard with the squared off ends cut into my hand and wasnt comfortable. Is this a comfortable knife to use?
I guess. this isn't really going to be very handy for more detailed carving stuff. Unless you are a Sasquatch
hey i am looking for a big chopper. i saw the schrade schf 45 and 43 but can't decide whitchs one i should buy. can you give me some advise?
+Bjorn Engels They are both good knives, just very different. You should buy the one you like the best.
Good for chopping, batoning and making small campfires. Just what a lot of moderns want.
Dwight E Howell I guess I'm a modern ;-)
I absolutely love mine!
Looks like a worthy contender against the Ontario SP10 Marine Raider bowie
, and at a similar price point.
I like this one but I have to say I really like the Ontario too.
I just noticed it, that one finger groove handle is the type of handle that's on my Randall Made Model 14, in the Attack, Nice. ,,, ,,, ,,,
+paulie 4x It is just plain cool.
I like the schrade products but I don't like that they are made in china. That's the part that drives me away from alot of products, particularly tools.
JeepJeep234 It's really hard to find knives of the same quality at the same price that are made in the USA. Sad but true.
This will make anyone drop a deuce when you pull it out.
Hi, I know this is an old video but I see Schrade is bring out some of the older knife designs like this one in Aus 8 and Aus 10. Was wondering if those versions in these steels might be better. Any thoughts on this.
I think they could just label the old ones as different steel and most people would never notice a difference. Not that there are no differences in different steels, I just think the difference is not as significant as the marketing departments want us to think.
Nice review i just ordered one thats why i looked for video
Say Heah Bryan, Yeah, It Looks like my BK-29 Moses Bowie.,,. p
;-)
podias haber cogido un arbol muerto
Cool 😎
I need that to replace my toothpick. 🤔
Man i would trade my 98 Gil Hibben Rambo lll in a heart beat for that. My only question is, skeleton tang or solid tang?
sara king I'm not sure. Every other Schrade I've pulled the handles off of has been solid tang. If I get chance I'll yank these and see.
Did you just make two hinges?
Hi Brian, Mark here i just ordered one thru your link, hope it helps and i like your knife throwing , i can throw about 1/2 the times i throw , i wish i could throw as good as you and at a pretty far distance to boot, im not that good, Thanks for the review
Keep working on it.
Looks like a good knife but I'd just carry a machete or kukri for chopping.
+Rodger Watt whatever works for you is what you should do
TREE MURDERERRRRRRRRR!!!
+IamNemoN01 ;-)
Feather sticking festival!!! ARRIBA!!!! :)
***** Mucho gusto.
i like a big knive, but would love a 7 inch to 9 inch, do they make one in that size? Great video and a.... new subscriber here.
+Tim Hill Check this one out:
survivalonpurpose.com/Uncle-Henry-Bowie
Say Heah, I don't think this video is because of the cookies, But we do have similar taste. I recently bought a Large Bowie. I bought it in my 2nd Ka-Bar Limited Edition. The 1st ine was the BK-20 BK-20 Bundok Bowie made out of a 1/4" thick 1095 CroVan, it came with the BK-4 and the BK-5. The Bundok is around a 11" Bowie. There were only 450 Kits sold and I think I bought the last kit, because I thought the price would go down, Until I realized it was selling for a real good price. Because I waited too long, I paid $250.00 for that Kit. So I didn't wait as long I bought this kit for less. But this BK-29 Moses Bowie which is a 1/4" shorter, but with a little stronger tip. It also came with the BK-5 which now makes my 3rd BK-5, No problemo, its discontinued and I think it will be a collectible. But it also came with a Snody SnakeCharmer, its a intergral design made out of the S35Vn and its just what I needed for a neck knife for my new bush craft trio. Anyhow the Moses Bowie l@@ks very similar to your SCHF 45 Bowie. You do have good taste.,,.
I just like Bowie knives
Copy that.,,.
Just got mine today, and wow at the size of this thing.
the drain hole isn't really necessary , it drains pretty well , I had to clean mine after I got into some poison oak or something I was badly allergic to with mine
Thanks!
I love a big knife as well. When is it coming out Brian? Any idea of the price point?
+Dave Rosa It's out now at about $60 survivalonpurpose.com/Schrade-SCHF45
@@SurvivalOnPurpose , it has now gone down a whole lot more.
you would use the leroy for camping and keep the tahoma field knife in reserve for survival right
Maybe
No need to beg to chop down a tree.trees in abundance. Scr.w the tree huggers.one seed planted yields a beautiful tree offered by God for us his children.enjoy.
Btw Jesus was a carpenter.where did the wood come from??? Chop away
Why don't you do a review on the MTech Xtreme Raptor Bowie. It looks like that one but it's bigger, stronger, and sharper! I think you will love it.
Your editing and music addition skills are not praised enough. Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
I bought this same knife, but mine doesn't have the lanyard hold on the cross guard.
I think they changed it
Like them big blades. Happy Fathers Day. God bless and stay safe.
Same to you Rich. Thanks.
Thanks for another great review. Would you consider a look at Oerla knives ?
Maybe
yes,but you're not allowed to go round in public places, I'm a survival instructor with the army reserve our version of the national guard so I only use it on training areas which is fine. atb.Russ.
+Rustum Mitchell You probably can't carry it around in public a lot of places here as well.
... Depends on your State Laws about Fixed Blade knife and size vs open or concealed...
Here in Florida, any Fixed blade greater than 5" is Legal everywhere, but must be Open, Visible on you person. Big 10" blades are hard to conceal anyways unless you're wearing a Trenchcoat, Duster Jacket, etc..anyways...
I'm still debating in my head, getting the 45Jethro or a Rtak2...
When is it going to available in amazon?
Want a drain hole? They're easy to create with a small drill. I wouldn't want one in a sheath like this because it keeps water out.
yep
Thumbs Up! Really,
Looks as if throwing the 45 comes easy with the balance being thought out when designing . Do you know if there company has one particular person who designs knifes and what his name might be? Thanks, good review
+Gene Sauerbry I don't think they do. If so, I don't know it.
Thx man 4 answering
Nice! That's a gotta have since it looks like it can replace a hatchet. Much lighter and much more versatile. Thank for showing.
Life Essentials 01 It is pretty versatile.
It’s not lighter than a hatchet lol.
I still take a hatchet. Leroy goes on the left, hatchet goes on the right of the belt I use in "gunbelt" fashion. There are times when you just need a hatchet. It IS an amazing knife tho without a doubt.
In a Zombie Apocalypse, this knife would handle pretty well against both zombies and humans, right?
It does a good job at camp tasks anyway
What knife would you use against zombies and humans?
I'm buying one for the zombie apocalypse
+Gary Storey That's as good reason as any.
I like this guy, blade review kind of reminds me of Hickok
+David Johns As in Wild Bill or 45?
