Schrade Extreme Survival Large Fixed Blade Knife vs Schrade Leroy Bowie Fixed Blade Knife Black TPE

rubber handle is not flushed with the tang, you can feel the metal edges when holding. heavy, solid and sturdy. surely will last

the scabbard is nice. And it is big knife. A little more dull than I was expecting from other reviews, but I want that surgical sharp edge (I know, not needed for a hack & slash blade), still solidly built for the price

Out of the box, the sheer bulk of the knife was the first thing I noticed - as many others have said, this thing is a beast, weighing in at close to a full pound. The grips are nicer than expected, rubber-like and with a slight give that gives a comfortable feel. I wish they fit better, as the tang slightly protrudes all around the handle. It's not uncomfortable, but I do wonder if that would be true once the knife was used for any extended period

It has the weight of an ax but can’t outlast an ax. I or ably should of chosen another similar model.

The edges of the handle do not come flush with the tang of the knife and when you look closely along the top of the sides of the handles you can see small dimples from the molding process. If you use gloves, which I do, the handle defects will not be a problem. However, it would be nice if the handles were defect-free. Another defect is found in the blade itself

The only reason I gave it a 4 is because I thought the handle would have a little more texture similar to two other Schrade knives I have. It has a smoother grip and the handle is a little bigger for my hand size. Otherwise everything else about this is great. Not super sharp, but sharp enough for most things for sure

-Extra, removable mini cargo pouch on the sheath. I'm HUGE on more pockets, and this comes through! CONS: -THE SHEATH!! Now although the knife itself is absolutely fantastic, the sheath leaves a bit to be desired. First off its just nylon with a plastic insert for the blade. Not a high quality nylon, but in all fairness

This knife is nice, sturdy and everything it says it is. The problem I have is the sheath, I dont like these sheaths and this one makes the knife stick way out to catch on things so easy if I brush up against them. I will see if I can do some magic with para-cord to tie the bottom of the sheath around my leg so it doesn't stick out/flop around so bad I dont even want to wear it.

I had a small Schrade folder from when I was a kid, but I haven't seen any since, so I thought I would test it out and if I hated it I could just exchange it towards one of the Beckers. The knife arrived beautifully, protected well in it's box, even though some textbooks in my order crushed it. The blade steel was clean and spotless, almost a bead blasted- gunmetal gray tone. Heavy, as expected, with a beautiful curve to the blade that resembles the kopis style on my CS Spartan

Exchange, align, sharpen, accessorize, smooth. Now, as opposed to out-of-the-box, I'll quote Paul Hogan: "That's a knife." There was no lot# or production code I could recognize on the knives or their packaging.

1095 steel, for the price this is a plus since this steel is pretty good for outdoors/survival tasks, will need to be taken care of to avoid rust though. Looks and feels tough, very thick spine, don't think it will suffer any damage when chopping or battoning. Price!, for the size and steel material this is a great price point. Ok now for the CONS: The balance feels a little off, I can't quite describe it but it just something you have to feel for yourself

I really dislike the cheap, hard plastic sheath. No way I would carry this in that hunk of plastic.

Let's be clear here... This knife is definitely one of the best bargains going! I don't think you can get a more heavy duty knife for this price guys

The handle isn't horrible but could be more comfy when gripping the knife tightly. The grip area is my only minor complaint so far. Otherwise this knife is well worth what I paid for it IMO.
