Schrade Delta Class Exertion Drop Point Fixed Blade 8.5in with 4in AUS-10 Steel Blade and Non-Slip Grip for Outdoor Survival, Camping and Hunting

Excellent knife! The quality is superb! It’s light and has a nice handle grip. The blade is extremely sharp and smooth. It fits nicely in your hand. My husband wanted this for his hunting trip. He says it’s just what he needed!

It's an okay knife. I use large sized gloves, and the handle is rather on the small side and hard to grip securely. It would be better for people with medium or small hands. The blade steel (AUS-10) is very good for this price range. The blade has a hollow grind which makes it better for slicing or whittling. The hollow grind makes the blade edge weaker so not as good for bushcraft usage such as batoning. The built-in sharpener and ferro rod are nice, but I have not tried it. Overall, it is ok, but IMHO the older SCHF56L was a much better bushcraft knife.

Maybe the best deal you can get for a big game cleaning/skinning knife. The steel is excellent, easy to sharpen to a scalpel and holds an edge very well. The blade design and size is pretty much perfect for elk/moose/ and deer. Pair this with a good deboning knife like an Uncle henry 7 inch fillet knife and your good to go on all big game.

AUS-10 Steel, man what a great steel to work with, sharpen, shape, it's just awesome steel. This one is no different, the blade is polished great, the grind is well enough not to complain. But where Schrade is going wrong with these, is they're getting cheap on the little stuff that makes you want to use their knives. 1. The handle. OK it's grippy enough, but add a third screw in the middle. I can put about 20 pennies under the hollow handle, 10 a side, so who's to say what might end up under them down the road. I used some RTV to fill the hollow scales, so they do "feel" better, but I'm looking for a cheap drill press to put the 3rd screw in and not worry about tearing the grip off one of the screws. If that happens, I'm making new scales, and I feel for those who don't have the tools and materials to do that. 1. The sheath. I'm sure it's a great sheath for a knife, but not this one. It's too big, knife bounces around enough that the pennies come out of the handle while you walk, and just for fun, the belt clip is the same height and width as the handle of the knife, just on the back side, so you get to learn how to pull a knife out of a sheath that blocks your ability to draw your knife out, like every other sheath I've seen. So, you need to find new scales that fit or make some, very doable, or modify the ones it come with. Then deal with the clip, ULTICLIP isn't a bad option for it, but you would have to cut the factory clip off, and you're good to go. And don't forget, the steel alone is worth far more than the price for everything you get, I've ordered my second knife to work with in less than a week. I now have 3 because this can be such a great set-up.

FAIR DEAL FOR THE MONEY

Knife is of good quality! Nice size, very good sharpness and ergonomic and secure grip. Perfect for my hands. Sheath is another chapter.... cheap, thin plastic. Nice gadget ideas with the sharpener and firesteel.... but execution could be better. And I absolutely don't like and don't trust the belt clip! Come on Schrade, produce something worthy for this nice knife! If the whole idea of this knife is outdoor, survival and hunting, it should have something that doesn't look like taken from a 7 Dollar knife. By the way, there is no picture of the sheath on the amazon site.... not so proud of it...??

Good grip, the sheath is so so, but the blade quality is great.

Sturdy all round camping knife. I have to look up how AUS-10 is cared for. Comes with built in fire starter, that's nice. Rubbed off the coating and sparks were flying. Remember to use the spine not the cutting edge. Not going to use it for wood cutting just general purpose.( it could be used for it) I have other tools for that. Feels good in the hand, can reverse knife grab, if needed. Not razor sharp, but sharp enough.

150g knife/210g with sheath, 3,75mm/96,5mm cutting/101,25mm blade/98mm fingers handle zone/113,75 handle/215mm total.Center weighted knife is slightly in the back of first screw handle. Thumb ramp jimping 28mm is grippy.

Couteau très coupant en sortant de la boite. Faite robust et durable. La poigner est un peu mince si vous avez des grosse main mais quand meme confortable et anti-dérapante.

Price was great at twenty nine. Would purchase again if it comes back down simple tips: cut off that useless belt clip before it snaps and you have a lost knife heat up the plastic and compress in clamp to fix the poor edge retention, becomes a nice pair with large knife mini bk2

I spent a lot of time researching a fixed blade knife for bushcraft and the Schrade Exertion Drop Point ticked a lot of boxes for me. Pros: - Good price - Good blade material (AUS 10 holds a very good edge and is quite stainless) - Good blade geometry (perfect thickness, full tang, thick drop point design) - Comfortable grips - Sheath has fire-starter and ceramic sharpener built in Cons: - The grips are flexible and not securely attached to the knife and dirt can easily get stuck underneath them. Absolutely need a third screw in the middle to hold them down. - Sheath is absolute junk. Will not securely hold the knife. Bottom line: For the price you're getting a great blade but in a compromised package.

Small knife . Cheap cheap handle and sheath . Luckily you can make a handle and use the screws . Good blade nice look I just can’t believe the sheath and handle they include . Not sure about this new lineup . All made in China and for for small fellas..
