I not in a hurry so hopefully my spelling will be better. Schade got to the point that they had only one handle material but as far as the blades go, do they hold there own with case? Opinions

Yes, like most companies, they did do experiments with molded Delrin and used it quite a bit on their main production patters. But Schrades are also to be found with crimson birch, birdseye maple, a hardwood composit called "Fibron" (also used by Camillus and others), smooth and jigged dyed bone, European stag, walnut and others.
All cutleries have their "secret" steels. For the most part, the difference lies in the heat treat and quench. Schrade called their stainless SCHRADE+, both 400 series steels, and my favorite, 1095HC High Carbon steel. Best? Ask a Schrade collector and a Case collector and get two different answers. I personally don't think that most users can tell a whole lot of difference between the two.
