I appreciate the in-depth review, especially the time you took going over the sheaths. I like the fact that the SCHF13 comes with a kydex sheath, and I wish the other ones did as well. Perhaps they don't in order to keep the price point as low as it is. Keep up the good work!
Glad it was a help. Take care.
Good video. I'm becoming a fan a schrade as well.
I got the schf9, I love this knife... split a bunch of wood of mixed species, birch, spruce, even oak. After batoning throughout the afternoon, I decided to try make a spoon from a piece of oak. Using a gouge and the schf9, was able to make some pretty good headway to a decent spoon! The edge held up quite nicely! 1095 high carbon.
I live in South Texas. I go camping, and if I want a fire, I can usually only purchase either Mesquite or Texas Live Oak. The logs are usually 4 to 6 inches in diameter. This is why I bought a Schf9. I need to baton up to 6 inch logs for that can be harder than English Oak. A Mora Companion won't work. ( I also have smaller knives for food prep etc. ) These are all good knives, just get the one that suits your needs based on where you live.
Hey man, I finally used a long held gift card and bought some blades. I couldn't choose, but based on your videos more so than most, I now have the SCHF10 and the SCHF9 and I have to say the SCHF10 is a DAMN good looking knife and the SCHF9 is a real beast and both actually appear to be a quarter of an inch thick. I find both grips to be great and the SCHF9 fits my large hands perfectly... your assessments have been right on the money and despite our personal preferences or physical impressions I agree with your reviews and they're truly helpful for people like myself who don't have well stocked stores nearby.
Thanks for the feedback - appreciate that.
Excellent Review! Concise n relevant!
Thanks for watching.
I understand according to a video on Knife Center's website, the SCHF10 has been discontinued. And it's selling for $25 and for same on Amazon as well. I have purchased other knives and wasn't even aware that they were out of production nor did the price suddenly drop. I hate to see it go, but hope they at least continue to sell it, so to speak, as the SCHF26. I may buy another one as an extra.
Everyday tactical:
Both the 9 (1095), and the 9n (8cr13mov) are available on Amazon today.
I've got the 9 currently. It is massive. The value Schrade put into this knife demands the small investment. I don't have extra large hands so it is a little oversize in the handle. I might try to narrow it a bit. If you have extra large paws, this knife will make you wonder why those little puny blades exist. Nice vid, I do plan on purchasing more Schrade knives.
Great videos! Keep up the hard work! You're a good dude
Appreciate it.
Killer review, well done!
The f9N, besides being stainless, is hollow ground whereas the f9 is saber hound. Excellent reviews. Thank you for your great videos. They always help.
rainbowhiker thanks for watching - and glad they are a help.
Great review. I have the older f9 with the 1095 steel and love it, but don't use it much because it's a little to big. I wanted the f10 but don't like the micarta handles they are to fragile and break. I don't chop or baton with a knife so they would probably last so I got the f26 which is the f10 with the rubber handles of the f9 and really love it. I'm thinking of getting the f14 for even smaller jobs. Thanks for the review. Good job !
Yeah - as I read your comment I was thinking, "Sounds like the F26 would be best" and then I read that you bought it. They've got some cool new ones coming out soon - pretty cool.
+MrKelso159 If you get the 26, it has the same blade with the rubber TPE handles. I have both and like the looks of the 10, but prefer the TPE in actual use.
The 9N is 8cr mov13 steel opposed to the original 9 being 1095 high carbon
Great vid! Schrade has really stepped it up as of late. I have the Schf14 (just a different handle than the 13) and after a bit of sharpening, has been a good knife. I really really like the look of the Schf10 and would like to get one, but I am alway hesitate of a recurve blade..just simply due to my limited sharpening skills. Again, great video.
Yeah - that's something I've heard from a few people. Glad the video was helpful.
I have the SCHF10 (and the 26 which has the rubber TPE handle), as well as the 13. The 26/10 are my absolute favorite survival blades and one goes w/ me when we're quading in remote areas in S. America. Given the humid muddy environment, I think the stainless steel is a must and the heat treatment they use on it makes it hold an edge just fine for field use. I keep a small pull-thru sharpener in the sheath pocket which doesn't get it back to shaving sharp (unlike my ceramic rods with a strop or my Worksharp), but still gives me a good field-use edge. I love the 13 too and keep that w/ my day-hike pack. Does everything I ask it to - which is plenty, and it could easily be my primary go-to blade if I didn't already have the others. It's smaller, but big enough. BTW: there is a mini-version of the 13, a great little neck knife called the SCHF13SM which retails under $20 and is awesome too. At the price point these blades have, I don't think they can be beat. I prefer my 10/26 to my BK22, although the sheath is just enough to get the job done. They are rugged, effective, dependable, and look cool as heck.
The SCHF9 has held my interest for some time now, and I believe after watching this in-depth review that I may actually be closer to finally buying it. However, I did try the smaller model 13 and returned it immediately after buying it because one firm shake upside down and the knife flies out of the sheath. A Kydex sheath should have greater retention than that, IMO.
i guess Im randomly asking but does anybody know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?
I somehow lost the password. I love any tricks you can offer me
@Karson Tristian Instablaster ;)
@Drew Princeton i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out now.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Drew Princeton it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my account :D
@Karson Tristian no problem =)
Great review. Schrade is making knives of great value. I'm leaning toward the schf10 myself
Agreed. And there are a bunch of new ones coming out in 2014 too.
I got it. I like it.
The Schf9 ( Not the N model but the 1095) is a real beast. I split some big cottonwood logs with it, and cottonwood is very twisty and hard. At one point I used a hammer as my baton after my other broke and wanted to see how much the f9 can take. After some really hard whacks, the spine only had a very small chip where the hammer hit more towards the edge of the spine. This knife is very stuff and forthwith money, it definitely competes with your higher end blades.
I believe the 9N is not 1095 but the 9 is.
+David Davidson
Absolutely correct, David... The "N" designation, indicates that it is made of stainless...
@@vasvaskel8221 Yes, they do this for several of their models. SCHF3/3N Some will have an "M" designation for "Micarta" handles and such.
I have the schf36m and I personally love it! The handle provides amazing grip, the blade has a kind of a gritty texture on it, and it is sharp as hell, actually bit me the other day, barely touched the edge and it sliced me, the sheath is nylon its disappointing, but I'm going to make a kydex sheath for it....but it came with a sharpening stone and a neat ferro rod and striker!
The SCHF10 has impressed me so far...but the sheath is quite sub-standard, but not totally useless. I will have to work with it to see if I can make it more useful. Great knife though.
Nice, in-depth, well thought-out video. Thanks!
You may wish to consider some corrections and/or points that you missed!...\
1> you neglected to mention that the accessory pouch on the SCHF9N sheath is removable, and that the sheath itself, is also MOLLE compatible.
2> the video has a "correction" that states the SCHF9N... "used to be called the SCHF9"... WRONG! The SCHF9 was/is the original "Griffin Design" blade, made of 1095 High-Carbon steel, with a 'sabre-grind.' The SCHF9N is the same blade profile, but made of 8CR Stainless, with a 'hollow-grind.' Other than appearance, these two blades are completely different!
3> you mentioned early (and often) in the video, that the nylon sheaths were "floppy." That may very well be true... but only when the blade is not in them! Take into consideration, that the SCHF9/SCHF9N is 1/4" wide... not many things you can strap around your waist are going to be more rigid!(sic)
I just purchased the SCHF10 today but I may switch out the sheath with a Spec-Ops sheath. Out of these four I liked it the best also.
Cool - let's hear what you think of it after you use it a while.
My favorite amongs the shwowed knives is the SCHF10.
You mean the SCHF26 is the same as the F10 not the F36. Also I agree with you that the F13 is a great small blade for better control and general utility tasks, but the one thing against it is that I can not get it as sharp as I want. I'm thinking of taking it to be re-profiled.
Another thing I wanted to post about these knives. After some very minor modifications - mainly grinding off that horrible gimping and bump on the handles of the F10 - F26 handle design, the F26 and the F37 have become my favorite beater knives that I have used and loved to death. As far as toughness goes my F26 and F37 have never let me down, both are .23 to .25 inches think and are beasts with chopping tasks.
16:45 I'm just browsing around this topic, certainly a newbie but the Schrade site says the SCHF9N is 8Cr13MoV stainless too. I gather the SCHF9 is 1095.
Yes, and from what I understand the SCHF9 is no longer available.
EverydayTacticalVids Dont bother i have a schf9, terrible edge retention, probably poor heat treat
If you were on a budget, you can by an F9 or 10, it helps conserve money for other things so you can feel more comfortable having supplies along with your knife ( one you know you can trust) and be better prepared. I do like higher end knives, but, Schrade offers so much value and quality in their survival knives, that for the price of some of those higher end knives, you can own a couple of these Schrades. Sheaths are OK, but that means you can make your own, customized to you!
I was deciding between SCHF9 and SCHF10 and I have to say I dont like the balance of 10, because its weighted more on the back of the knife (wft?). They both weight the same. Also, you can detach the pocket on the sheat of SCHF9 and it has thicker blade tip. Overall, yes, SCHF10 is smaller, but I would fear for the tip. For batoning and chopping, the SCHF9 is the winner and you get better sheath, which will be the only difference in weight.
Size - thats a different story. It matters for me the same as the weight.
But you can guess which i ended up with...
It would be nice to hear this about all the knives from the video...
File the spine down so you don't have to wreck the blade when you strike
How's that tpe handle feel on the bare hand? Could it feel rubbery and sticky-gross on a hot summer day? This unknown has prevented me from ordering on online.
Well done review. thanks.
thanks for sharing
Sure thing - thanks for the view.
Do you have a review of the SCHF36M? Do you prefer the SCHF10 over the SCHF36M?
DougFLA123 I'd choose the 36M. Here's a look at that one: ruclips.net/video/WVjnsNMFQTI/видео.html
I'm trying to decide between the SCHF36, the SCHF10 and the SCHF26. Are the SCHF10 and SCHF26 basically the same knife, just with different handles?
DougFLA123 Exactly - just different handles. I'd take the 36 still.
+DougFLA123
Don't forget to take into consideration that you will be "most likely" be wearing gloves while using this tool!
the schf9 uses 1095 high carbon steel (the best imho) the"N"model uses high carbon STAINLESS does not rust but does not hold an edge as well....again just my opinion..... the difference is the steel.i use oil on my guns and just use a dab from time to time on my blades.
personally I like the schrade schf10 the most because I've had it 2 years and I've used if alot because I love to go off into the woods and explore and find things and stay for days on end making fires and chopping wood and I just love the way the knife handles and I've never had any problems with it it's just my favorite overall knife ever but I plan on getting a 36 but I don't plan on switching it to my primary knife I will be using the schf10 till I die
joe perez ive been looking for a good knife for ages and that just got my vote
Awesome
Check out my custom sheaths for the schf10
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! This SCHF13 is screaming at me to buy it!
+Plamen Dobrev You won't be sorry.
Great review but I couldn't force myself to buy China junk.. All of these knives are made in China.
But you set and watch a 21 minute video about Chinese junk and then troll it? I don't think your opinion really matters.
Rambo generation of knives ..all ya need is a small knife, a hatchet and a sawing tool.
if you've ever spent real time in the woods you'd know this is a very unnecessary "hollywood" knife.
here's your clue... does any military carry a "survival knife" no thats because its a hollywood thing (yes they issue a kbar for killing in the event of close quarters combat not asurvival a thing as these movie prop knives are peddled Although some are very expensive well done hollywood "props"...learn by experience not by people who are out to make a profit or others simply whatched movies and have done a couple overnights in nature , video taped it and claim to be "professional" survivalist and promote products for a cut of your sale.
if you knew better youd realize "survival knives" like this are a cruel joke to good survival equipment for beginers.
Show up with real woodsmen with a survival knife and it will you will immediatly stand out as your wearing a mini skirt with no panties.
dont be led with words like " Tactical, ballistic, ops" etc its all to play on you to by unnecessary items
