I have a few knives, but I don't like to spend a lot of money on them.
I know the old saying "You get what you pay for" applies to blades probably more than just about anything else, but I just can't seem to find justification in my budget for a $300 Falkniven, Fantoni, or Reeves... Not saying they aren't worth it... Just too rich for my lifestyle and needs.
I found this Schrade SCHF9N on sale for $40.00, did a little research on it, and decided it might be a good buy. After replacing the crappy shoe string tie down with some 550, and adding a little more 550 to the tang, it was more to my liking. A light dusting with a "shooka shooka" can of krylon made the jet black nylon sheath a little easier on my eyes.
The sheath pouch doesn't hold much, so I decided to pack it with a few minor FA items and a magnesium fire starter.
I'll try to put together a review, as soon as I get a chance to actually use it. I think it's going to be a pretty functional blade. It's a VERY solid build.
The blade is 6.5" (High Carbon SS)
Overall is 12.5"
Weight as it sits with sheath is a hair over 20oz. (Heavy!)
Questions, comments, suggestions welcome.
