Reviewed the Schrade SCHF14 Survival

[lewynn]

Hello there,
I'm new here but thought I would post a review of a knife I received to test. I received the Schrade SCHF14 Survival Fixed Blade to test out. I have a Schrade Golden Spike that I have had for around 27 years which was made by the original Schrade company, they are now being made by Taylor Brands. Not sure if it was just a name change or what but this new knife is very nice.

This is the page for the knife - http://www.taylorbrandsllc.com/shop/schrade/fixed-blades/schf14/schf14-p-197.html

The knife was very sharp right out of the box but I was able to really polish up a nice edge on it with no problem. It comes with a thermoplastic/kydex sheath which is nice and holds the knife securely, it also has different carry options by changing the angle of the belt loop on the sheath. I'm more partial to leather sheaths for my knives so I made a leather sheath for this one.

The grip seemed a little sketchy to me at first when I saw a picture but I found it to be very comfortable in my hand. The knife is well built and looks like it will last a very long time. Just some pics I took for the review.

not a name change, Schrade went out of business a while ago and now Taylor cutlery slaps the name on cheap Chinese imports. No relation to the original company.

Levels are how StuffStuff classifies products. There are six levels numbered from one to six.
You get assigned a level as well by earning points. Whatever level you are classified in by your points, you can apply to test products in that level and all levels lower than that one. For instance, if your level is 3, you can apply to test products in the following levels: 1, 2 and 3. The levels are typically directly related to price value of product. Level 1 $10 and under, Level 2 $11-$25, Level 3 $26-$50, Level 4 $51-$100, Level 5 $101-$500, and Level 6 $500 and above, but sometimes we will put higher valued products in lower levels for special opportunities.
