Schrade Frontier SCHF52M Fixed Blade Knife

1095HC steel from a company that PROBABLY knows how to properly heat treat it, big 14" slab of it for $35(give or take) is great, great value. Came ultra sharp, just like my SCHF9 did several years ago. Compare it to a Tops, Becker, Kabar, Esee, as far as materials used, it shines BIG. Look a little...

I'm thinking I would love this knife if it wasn't for the fact that I can see daylite between the micarta handle and the steel and am worried it will catch on clothing while getting it back in the sheath or cordage of some sort. Am I just to picky?

Customer service was first rate! There was a small problem with the handle scales on my original order (there was was a small gap between scale and tang where the blade. meets the handle). The replacement came within 2 days and no manufacturing issues. Returning the original wasn’t a problem at all....

Before I go into detail about why I only gave 2 stars, I want to say that the knife itself is—considering the price—very good, but I guess that is why the manufacturer had to save money on the sheath. As my pictures show the sheath completely dissolved after only 2 camping trips. I bought the knife ...

The blade is thick and holds an edge well. I get the impression this knife will hold up to a lot of abuse.

I'm not in love with nylon sheaths, but as they go this one is good. It has a plastic liner and quick n easy velcro belt loop.

The coating on the knife doesn't seem like it'll stick around fo...

First of all I’m not exactly new to knives but I’m not a big-time collector either but I watched a couple reviews online and they seemed very promising especially for the $50 price. Obviously im not expecting it to be on par with the Esse and the becker bk9 but when I got the knife in hand I can say...

I bought this blade to have as a test blade to try some things like acid etching and removing coatings. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box. The thick blade stock makes for a great chopper and capable camp blade. The micarta handles are attractive and comfortable. They make for a grippy...

I like this knife because it has the best of both worlds: great quality and a low price. The blade is 1095 high carbon steel with a hollow saber grind, with a drop point, and a full tang. The blade itself is just over 7 inches long, and the 5+ inch handle is covered by micarta scales. This knife has...

This knife is a beast. Don't be fooled it is a heavy knife. Micarta grips are great, however, they are a little warped. My guess it happened during the curing process. One is about 2mm at the hilt away from the tang and the other one is about 1mm at the lanyard fitting also away from the tang. Consi...

It’s clear certain compromises were made to keep this knife inexpensive, particularly with the sheath. Plus, some places of the handle scales were not flush with the blade. But I should state this is fantastic for the price. Higher end knives of similar sort run hundreds more, so this is exemplary f...
