Extreme Survival 1095 Carbon Steel Fixed Blade Knife, Brian Griffin Design SCHF9

Schrade takes pride in creating trustworthy knives that are perfect for all outdoor adventures. Whether you are hiking, camping, executing bushcraft or any in other activities, Schrade is the strong performing companion you need.

This is a medium-large knife with an overall length of 12″, a blade length of 6.4″ and a weight of 15.9 ounces. SCHF9 has a blunted tip, a deep full flat grind and a plain edge. The combination of the blunt tip, deep full flat grind and plain edge is an absolute winner.

Despite having a blunter tip, the knife can still be very effective as a defensive or tactical tool and will perform thrust cuts well.

The full flat grind (vs. a saber or hollow grind) makes for a much tougher edge. Not only does this avoid blade chipping but it is excellent for chopping. The steel on the SCHF9 is a good 6mm thick at its widest point and the blade comes with a deep full flat grind. The thick steel and deep full flat makes the knife very hatchet like. This knife excels at splitting wood and other chopping and slicing tasks.

The SCHF9 is made from a single solid piece of 1095 High Carbon steel. 1095 is a very popular knife and tool steel and is an excellent choice for a survival blade. A high carbon steel is generally harder and will hold an edge longer than a stainless steel. Schrade also applied a tough teflon coat to the blade to help minimize the chance of rust.

A lot of attention went into designing the handle of the SCHF9. Schrade selected Kraton scales for the handle material. Kraton is a hard rubber that provides excellent grip, wet or dry.
