Schrade SCHF59 Full Tang Fixed Blade Outdoor Knife with Good Sharpness

Diseño: El diseño del cuchillo es muy bueno, sus curvas son suaves y el mango cumple con la ergonomia de una mano promedio. La cuchilla es de una sola hoja y el mango es de micarta tallada que da un buen agarre y comodidad al uso. Funcionalidad: Es un cuchillo sumamente robusto al igual que los otros Schrade, sin embargo el filo que trae de nuevo es un poco mediocre, pero nada que no se arregle con una buena piedra de afilado. El ferrocerio es muy bueno y no es decorativo como anda por ahí alguien diciendo. Es importante que para que el ferrocerio funcione se le retire parte del recubrimiento negro que trae de fabrica, mismo procedimiento aplica a parte de la hoja de cuchillo si quieres usarlo para raspar el ferrrocerio. Su funda es rígida y en efecto, es dura de abrir. Esto es un beneficio porque evita que tu cuchillo salga de su funda accidentalmente cuando lo amarras a la mochila y andas en terreno muy accidentado, adicionalmente si tienes niños pequeños te sirve de "seguro" para que no saquen el cuchillo y se corten. No obstante, con el uso la funda plástica tendera a aflojarse y a que el cuchillo salga con mayor suavidad. Si se desea acelerar el proceso de aflojado, puedes calentar gradualmente con un encendedor la parte que "aprisiona"el mango y de esta forma abrirlo para que saga mas fácil.

Good quality for price. Knife not fully sharpened on delivery, but easily rectified. Feels very sturdy in hand. Fire starter works well!

I ordered this after receiving an SCHF57 and wanted something bigger (couldn't bring myself to return the smaller knife as it's a great knife as well). Well made knife and sheath just like it's little brother. It came sharp enough for this type of knife with a nice symmetrical grind and has only been stropped to maintain the edge after a good bit of carving. I did initially hit it with a ceramic rod and strop for a screaming sharp edge. Love the feel of the G10 scales and heft of this knife. Like a few reviewers said...the sheath was so tight I could barely get it out at first, thought it might have been accidentally glued in. I fixed this by pulling the knife slightly out of the sheath and setting it in the Florida sun for awhile. Bring it in to cool down with the knife still slightly out of the sheath. Now it's perfect, with good retention and still no rattle. If it's still too tight for your liking.....repeat the process. This is my 3rd Schrade in a few months and they've all been well made, outstanding value knives. I could care less where it was made and am thankful to be able to buy such a great knife for so little $$. I'll just spend the money I saved in a nice AMERICAN restaurant with my English girlfriend. In a SHTF situation if I only had room for one knife, this is the one I'd take. Thanks for another great knife Schrade and Amazon !

First let me say that I love that Schrade made a universal sheath. Thank you. The steel on this is supposed to be 65Mn high carbon. Blade length is just a tad over 3.75 inches. It does come with a ferro rod and a striker too. Seems there were some initial issues as to whether this knife could perform as a fire starter. Several videos on line prove that it can if you do some minor adjustments to the blade. So here are the pro's: Very light weight at 6 ounces. Love the textured handle. Not sure if it is Micarta or not but it fits my hand like a glove. No slipping yet. Full tang with nice lanyard hole at the top end. Sharp but you will need to do some fine tuning. A non issue for me. Perfect size for general tasks and so far it appears to be very sturdy. Some light gimping on top of the blade which actually feels good. You can baton with it just don't try to cut red woods with it. Smaller limbs are no problem. Feathers wood decent enough. Has a good balance. You can remove the ferro rod holder. Cons: Non that make this a bad knife. The sheath is a tad bit tight but hey over time that will change. Overall I highly recommend this if you prefer smaller and more controllable knives.

Super messer geile Qualität und super Grip
