I have no doubt that the ESEE warranty is better than one on any Taylor Schrade branded knife. I honestly would toss the Schrade in the trash and move on if one broke.

Just felt the need to quote that for posterity.
Sweet. So you have what personal experience with them again?
I looked at the Esee warranty and it is for Rowen made blades only. Right under the red colored we don't warranty 440C blades it says they don't warranty normal wear and tear. So the only reason I would use their warranty, they won't honor it. As I said before, as they wrote it, they will replace an idiots knife, but hey man, if you treat it right and plain wear it out, you ain't getting a new knife. Now that's got to be written by an idiot.
The only reason I see myself using their warranty barring material/manufacture defect is wearing it out. So someone can put one of their blades in a vice and break it with a 12 pound sledge and get a new knife. Sorry guy who treated it right and wore it out, our warranty don't cover normal wear and tear. Ok.

I just chuckle. I am not likely to ever need to use their warranty as at the present I only have the ESEE 4 and don't even use it. I quoted it because of my personal experience with you.
I never go back and edit my posts to remove statements. Try another angle at credibility. Maybe don't read them if you don't like honest posts by a person who enjoys hobbies that require sturdy knives. Too easy.
Whoosh.
Just for you, a highly offensive picture of a 8cr13mov blade at 58-60 HRC destroying some solid dry honey locust that's a good bit more dense than oak. Made some kindling from the dry heart wood and got a fire started quickly with the even more offensive ferro rod that came with the SCHF37. Then split more honey locust with that crappy wannabe blade. It's my "tweener" now. Does perfect in that roll.
Enjoy.

Black locust is tough stuff. Used to cut it growing up in PA to build fences. Honey locust.... not so sure, but I believe you. Boris, don't take this stuff too seriously.

Seems like battoning is your only yardstick...
I don't. I think it's hilarious to see people bad mouth a brand because the Internet told them to, even more hilarious is the reaction they give when proven wrong. As if it's so hard to admit their internet based opinion is wrong. They should be thankful someone uses them like they own a Busse, and showing how tough and what they can handle offline, not online. Cyber pride is too hard for some to swallow, oh well.

Boris, that's the 26 not the 37. I know you have both. I don't doubt that both are fairly good knives, especially for the price. I just don't need them at this point as I have others.

Sure about that? The 8cr13mov blade is the SCHF26. I don't own a F36. My oldest son wants one (SCHF36) for his birthday so I may post some pics of the blade in the near future. My large one is the SCHF37.
Did you edit that lol, looked like 36 not 26 when I first read it, oh well, we both know what's up.

Lol, nope.
It does the fine detailed work real well too.
Did you do that before or after you battoned with it?
I haven't sharpened it after the last two uses, or even touched it up. I just made one pass and it did this.
Why is it so hard to comprehend you don't need to spend big bucks to get great performing knives. The 8cr13mov holds an edge more than twice as long as 1095 and so far just as tough. Difference between your and my opinion, mines based on actual use. The last two uses, split enough wood to burn a large fire for 4 hours, last one a few days ago burned 3 hours before I put it out.
It is what it is. So when I read the anti fan boy posts, if you can logically deduct information, why I see it as being so humorous and almost childish to attack someone who uses them. Y'all can do what you want with what you bought. I'm just saying the stuff you're reading online is wrong.
I farm part time with my dad, and there have been times when I've had to make due with what ever I had on hand. I've been in situations where I've had to hack branches off with a spade, I've had to dig and pry with screw drivers, and I've driven nails with whatever the hell I could get my hands on.
That includes my knives, and I expect what ever I choose to put in my pocket and wear on my hip to do things a person wouldn't normally expect to do with them. I just make sure I choose well.
Now, I said I farm part time. I've also been involved in sales and distribution, and my past education was geared to sales and business. I'm experienced enough to know that you can call a customer an idiot if you like. I also know that you can stay in business while doing so. I also know that while you may stay in business, you'll never be at the top of the game, because your competitor doesn't make stupid mistakes like that.
There was a Pioneer Seed Corn dealer in our small town many years ago, and EVERYONE had a Pioneer Seed Corn hat, jacket, pocket knife, or whatever he could give away. He absolutely ruled central Iowa in seed corn sales back then, making the cover of many trade and a few business magazines. He didn't want a single person unhappy for any reason, and it paid off very, very well for him. He is, 25 years later, a very wealthy man.
A happy customer will only tell a couple of people how happy he is with a product. A pissed off customer will tell 10 to 15 people how pissed off he is. It's pretty simple business math.

Here's what you need farmboy
I said "I choose WELL".
If I have to make due with junk, I've done so. Hell, if you find just the right rock, you can drive a fencing staple pretty well if you need to.
But I don't knowingly choose to take garbage out to fight equipment and the elements. If you choose to do so, I guess all I can say is, best of luck to you. You'll likely need it.
