Just got the SCHF31 a few days ago, this knife is excellent quality for its price of only $25. I've never gotten such a good knife for so cheap ever before in my life! Solid build quality, great balance, handle scales feel great, and it came fairly sharp for a factory edge. Which brings me to the steel, I was a little worried as it's 8cr13mov steel, which as far as I know is a generic aus8, but it took a fine edge pretty easily and has kept it nicely. My only complaint about this knife is the sheath that comes with it. Don't get me wrong, it does it's job but it leaves much to be desired. I would have been happier with a nylon hanger. But like I said, for what it costs I can't really complain. I wanted to learn how to make a kydex sheath anyways lol.
