[@fangfour]

I've owned and compared my quip with your reviews and you are always consistent and unbiased. Simply put....THIS is the best channel for reviews.

[@TheVquintero17]

I'm a faithful subscriber for a long time now and I enjoy watching your plain and simple explanations. Thank you so much.

[@SherPettit]

I like that the blade and handle are all one piece. I really love that handle grip!! What a great knife! Thank you for sharing!

[@eleven_bravo7033]

Just subscribed to your channel. Enjoyed the "straight to business" format of your review of the schrade schf2. Look forward to watching more.

[@willchouinard9457]

Man you guys have come along way. I've accually played with one of these and i must say it is on sturdy knife. I would'nt worry about this thing breaking like so many other hollow handled knives. Keep up the good work and more informative videos please thats my favorite part of this chanel

[@leighrate]

Personally I would pack the handle with lifeboat matches and a striker, wrap as much 30lb Spyderwire as possible around the handle with a Altoids tin containing a decent kit in the sheath pouch.

[@cobythomas1315]

I love how you use the tools your given outside the box. I love the knife.. would suit me very well since I work in the oilfield. The 6 piece set is something I would use everyday and im always looking for a lighter knife to carry thats versitile amd strong. Thanks for the videos. Keep em coming!

[@JusBurninItDownSmothers]

I thoroughly enjoy your videos David. I find most of your information to be easily digested and find it very enlightening. Thanks and keep doing what you are doing.

[@texasgreazer]

Great video. Nice production value and informative. Love the barrel handle and blade design on the Schrade SCHF2sm knife!

[@1erkenbrand]

The SCHF2SM knife would be awesome for taking to the deer woods. the video and review were well worth the time to watch.

[@jj903hunter]

Great review on a great knife! Schrade has made a big splash in the knife world recently and this one does not appear to disappoint! Thanks for the review!

[@Baruch-Hashem]

The only thing great could be the storage handle, nothing else great about it and the handle is questionable.

[@6565lindmik]

Nice explanation on everything that new people would understand and need to know. Great channel

[@covita100]

Love the videos and short clips that allow for viewing when I have a spare moment

[@georgesulea]

Very useful and helpful. You can never be too prepared.

[@sassurvivalman]

wow brother good good review u gave us all the specs from top to bottom n the blade n handle n showed us some tips for survival items thats the best review ive seen

[@praisehisawesomename]

Great review! Your production quality is among the best on KZbin!!

[@unitedwestand126]

Hi Dave.. I was wondering when you'd do another review. The knife looks like it can handle a good beating. It was your review that inspired me to purchase the bk2 and I'm glad I did. I'm very happy with it. This new schrade knife is something I definitely wanna look into. Thanks for your great reviews and videos. Keep up the good work.

[@dglantz10]

You guys are awesome and I love the review videos. I would love to add this beast to my collection schrade knives.

[@TheMisterMonkeyman]

Very nice review. Yeah the tools included are a strange addition, but I like that there's a barrel-handled knife that seems like it won't fall apart. Between the handle and the pouch there is plenty of room to put a personalized survival kit for wilderness or urban use. I like it. Peace.

[@CommonCentsOutdoorsman]

I think the tool kit is actually a plus as it just gives you another option other than wilderness survival. And as you did... the hole can be filled with anything one likes! Another great job David... you do this the best!

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Thanks bro! You are right... at the least... it's 6 free screw bits... Somethings is better than nothing... :)

[@Sherrodja]

Good knife. Won mine from Schrade when it first came out. The sheath is actually decent. You can carry a bit of kit in the pouch and the knife fits in either direction which is great for lefties.

[@bgoat78]

Great review. I like the SCHF2. It looks like it can endure some serious work. Like the one piece design also.

[@joevanblarcume8469]

Great channel and the information we get, could be life saving. I love watching all the videos. My fingers crossed and praying.

[@lazmonroy8165]

Nice review like always, nice ideas in how to use the knife and all the specs

[@aartvangent7671]

I've been waiting far a new video! Glad you're back david.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Back for like 4 more days... and then off for 40 days of training and shooting... We have some stuff to hold you over until I return though... Stand by...

[@aartvangent9745]

UltimateSurvivalTips have fun!

[@JamieDarren]

love your videos. faithful subscriber for a long time now. and it's amazing that you actually respond to your subs. amazing knife too.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Thank you for your encouragement Jamie! ~David

[@84neilbone]

Its been a while but I'm back now I like your hands on videos . vendors stand videos are good as well but I really enjoyed field tests

[@MrKelso159]

I use the tool kit in the handle to make adjustments to my kydex sheath. I like it fine !

[@nikkih1228]

Great review! Love that it's solid. Would def. change out the tool kit for a survival kit. Unless of course I'm camping with the family up north, then it may come in handy. Can pack one or the other in the sheath, make it useful for something anyway.

[@oHalfBreedo]

Nice knife & review, keepin' my fingers crossed !!!

[@PrepperGreenBay]

Nice review...I think this knife with tool kit included would be a great addition to a Ruger 10/22 takedown, the included tool would allow a person to disassemble the rifle completely... Keep up the good work

[@levimusgrave9072]

thanks for the tip about the Leatherman Wave fit in the sheath I never did like that she's at all just kind of keep but the knife is awesome I love it

[@jonathanbhowani1040]

I have this knife and I love it. Go camping and hunting. So many applications.

[@invidiaz8764]

i think the tool kit was a nice touch considering your have room for gear in the extra pouch on the sheath. plus you can save some room in your pack because you won't have to worry about screwdrivers.

[@donaldpearce8830]

Very Informative. I like the Screw Drive in the Handle! You have tools that you may need, in an Emergency. Like that it is made of 1 piece of steel.

[@kcolmore1]

Wow, I was just looking at the spear point version and it's really nice for the price of $49. If I wasn't already committed to the BK2 I would consider buying one.

[@LuisDiaz-lk9pf]

Great vid. Very informative as usual.

[@landshark73]

Love the full in depth review of the knife

[@hazelclowd]

excellent review, would be great on my camping trips!

[@paullayman7216]

Very nice review. i like the ability to change out the bits fo rones that fit whatever weaon you may be carrying. i may be able to insert replacement broadheads into the barrel, but cannot tell without having one in my hand (hint hint). Thansk for the review and the chance to win one.

[@bodhi974]

I have always been a “full tang” guy but I have had a couple hallow handle knives. Of course they failed epically. I like this one and found them on amazon. Going to have to pick one up. Great review.

[@ChrisGilliamOffGrid]

Wolff Tracks Did you get one? Mine came today. 😉

[@alannoorkoiv6281]

Excellent, and appreciate the survival kit option...

[@dgillespie13]

excellent review, thanks. Always look forward to your plain and simple explanations, and the replacement of the tool kit with a survival kit makes too much sense, I look for them to offer you idea on the next run. Hope you get a commish.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Thank you David!

[@MidWesti]

would of preferred a diff sheathe.. My Ontario RD6 BUSH knife came with the same one.. kinda cheap, but I guess it does its job.. another great review, thanks

[@NoOne-ex4sx]

Nice review, David. Can you review a 3-4 in. fixed-blade knife?

[@TheLake1963]

love that its solid steel, thanks for the review of it

[@monniefox6410]

love the whole package lol. nice storage spot for a small survival kit ;)

[@BossHog1183]

Great review as always keepem coming!

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah David, Just yesterday, I bought a Vintage Bianchi Hollow Handle Knife. I do have a few Hollow Handles Knives that I would trust my life on everyone of them except that $10.00 General Hollow Handle Knife, My new Hollow Handle that fits right at home in my Hollow Handle Stable is my Bianchi Hollow Handle that was made before the Nighthawk, But they did copy it's design and it's put together solid that Fighter Pilots used to survive. Yeah, it's all brass with a 6" 440c. Blade that has a serrated Sledge, I guess to cut yourself out of the safety belts and cockpit, a simple awesomeness of a Knife design, a deadly looking spear point and a Zero Grind Saber. It just feels great in your hand, Infact as you pick it up, You can tell.

[@flynncowburn9786]

I might consider buying this the hollow handle knife.

[@jkennedy1668]

Great stuff, thanks for the chance at a great idea/product

[@iancooper7643]

Nice review. Love me some Schrade!

[@didymusdaniels]

Good lookin blade, most of my good knives are Shrade, think i may invest in that one also

[@semco72057]

That looks like a nice looking knife and wonder if it is American made. I purchased a Schrade full tang knife recently and love it. I also purchased the Uncle Henry full tang knife from the same company and it is a nice looking knife also, but have not tried it out. If this knife is as well built as the one I got it is a gem.

[@richardlambert30]

Great vid commentary. I agree about the screwdriver know idea what they are thinking. I do have a question though. It looks like a saber grind on the blade but I know schrade is a fan of hollow grinds so could you tell me if its hollow or flat? thanks

[@djprojectrain]

The toolkit inside the handle is so it can be a "urban survival knife" which can be altered into a "wilderness survival knife" by replacing the toolkit with a homemade one like you did David! Schrade is stepping up their game!! Also looks like an Altoids tin kit could fit in sheath pocket ;)

[@MichaelMixson]

the tin wont fit at least a full sized one wont

[@eloracorne9760]

i love that its one solid piece, its an awesome knife

[@josephstidham939]

I have the SCHF22 and would love to have its bigger brother the SCHF2 thif is my first time watching your videos but i like what you do so ill be checking some more out thanks

[@whisperofsteel]

No need for the striker in the carried kit. Strike the matches on the handle of the knife or any rough surface available.

[@jublywubly]

This knife looks incredible! I expected it to cost, at least, twice what it does. I'm definitely going to have to get one! :-D

[@toddflowers8052]

Great video and review!

[@sanfranciscobay]

It would be nice if that handle was designed to hold a 1/2 x 5-6" ferro rod. What are some of the most important that you could carry inside the knife handle?

[@johnhorton9417]

I think from the sound or the bits chosen to be in the handle it might be there to make the knife a good choice for some people who would carry the knife and an AR type rifle.

[@reyray6969]

You the man. Sweet videos

[@minibackyardballers4998]

You should do a review on the cold steel survival edge knife which my just be the best hollow handle survival knife on the market

[@diablobrian1]

Reminds me of the late 80's-early 90's Chris Reeves knives I lusted after but could never afford. Kydex sheaths are easy to make so if you don't like the sheath make your own. throw a tek-lock on it, add what ever accessories you want and be done with it in an hour or so (if you take it slow). This review does not mention the utility of using this knife as a spear in survival situations. I was wondering if there is a reason for that? I like the larger size of these knives but wouldn't currently buy one because of the serrations that they seem to have deemed mandatory on those. So this one looks mighty tempting. The pricing is great, good knife steel, durable coating, and fine (un-serrated) edge all make it a winner in my book. Thank you for the review.

[@colnagocowboy]

a number of people have commented that the front pouch on the sheath is the right size for a Leatherman wave

[@MrBluesluver]

The OEM kit might be nice for urban survival. I like your kit a bit better. Nice review.

[@ceschmid]

This would be the only barrel knife I would consider....., well designed and durable knife.

[@terryeatmon6674]

Does removing the screwdriver set affect the balance, or does the overall weight of the knife make it a nonfactor? Love the vids, David. Keep 'em coming.

[@roundandrandom8576]

I've pondered this multi-bit kit thats included and the only thing i can think of is perhaps a sort of field kit for screws on various types of hunting type rifles or grips on certain types of pistols. I would love to hear ideas anybody else has.

[@robpenpek7352]

Customize to my liking depending on my enviroment I plan on being in.

[@bakupcvr]

I always notice the survival kits have hooks and split shot but what about fishing line?

[@coywilson8608]

Where can I purchase that awesome piece of survival steel? This video sold me!

[@Icecold185]

What is that balisong sharpening stone called? Looks pretty cool

[@jkoeberlein1]

I like the survival kit, but the fishing gear is a little silly (without fishing line). I'm going to get this knife but I'm only putting fire starting material in the handle.

[@ryanlee2754]

Very detailed review.

[@tylerfoster2601]

I know the only cold steel knife you reviewed was the S.R.K. But can you do the cold steel Bushman fixed blade it seems like a very good knife for only 25.00$

[@JanoTuotanto]

Screwdrivers are the points I mostly use from my swiss army knife. Wich scenario is more likely : a) you crash-land on deserted jungle island b) you need to fix a screw ?

[@thewakenedwolfs1198]

Thank you for this video it helped me out

[@sappersam787]

Awesome video David ~ Thank you! ;-)

[@killianmclean9815]

Can you do a knife review of the SURV TAC 7?

[@michaeltyree6648]

Always like these videos

[@Memphisfire40]

Im planning to buy this knife. Did you know that they finally made a survival kit for this knife? Thats what made me want this knife :P

[@Jacob-vr2ne]

What's the tiny knife necklace? Can you do a vid for that???

[@HDeverythingSD]

What is that blade sharpener you were using?

[@euanfredrick3340]

hey can you do a review on the henry survival kit because you said you would in a vid . please thank you if you think he should like

[@leongrimes7473]

I'm impressed!

[@lykos1963]

Well done!

[@NoOne-ex4sx]

What's the neck-knife he has at the beginning of the video?

[@pancakeman14]

Nice review and info.I hope I win got my fingers crossed. Thank you

[@KrisSays]

Sub'd... You do some nice work!

[@stfisher65]

Okay. Perhaps this will put an end to the questions. First there was the Jimmy Lyle designed knife for the John Rambo films. It had a hollow handle and the guard ended on each side in a phillips tip and flat tip. The pommel held a fairly useless compass inside. The knife was designed for survival in any environment including urban areas. Then the Buckmaster came out. A better design knife wise because the exterior pouches could hold a compass (mine came with one) and other tools (I always kept a swiss army knife in the other pouch on my 184). There was also a sharpening stone in the sheath. This knife inspired the current designs of the M9 bayonet (blade style, sheath, pouches, sharpener). Now we have the Schrade knife. Machined from one piece of steel. So much better than the other two (bolted into the handle). It comes with it's own screw driver set because it's more likely you will need it in urban settings. Going into the woods? It comes out!

[@jamesritchie6899]

+Steven Fisher The Rambo knife was a piece of crap that was designed for coolness, not survival. You couldn't cut through tissue paper without breaking it.

[@Kb-eb4ur]

James Ritchie true that the Rambo knife can piss off

[@sboardcrew69]

Wow! Awesome!!

[@svetlanaloskutova399]

Cool company! Cool knife!

[@chuckbrow66]

I think I might epoxy a small ferro rod in the butt cap of the knife after the screwdriver kit was removed. Great video. Thank you.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

GREAT idea! Thanks for sharing it! ~David

[@skumautz]

How many stars did you get it you didn't saying your video

[@thebudkellyfiles]

This isn't a knife, it's a work of art! Precision milled from a drop-forged billet of 1070 steel, beautiful, sharp, indestructible, functional. A copy of the Chris Reeve series of hollow-handled knives that cost 8 times more, and to my eye every bit as nicely made. I am buying the big brother SCHF2 with clip blade. They will last a lifetime.

[@briansmith9175]

+thebudkellyfiles I baton with it all the time as well as other things. Stays sharp along time. I keep it dry and oiled. Have had the long one 2 years and just bought the short one. Im in the mountains a lot west of Calgary Alberta Canada

[@snow_tacknives2024]

I have 2 of these outstanding and robust, I'll do more videos on them.

[@PlattyB]

Has it lasted?

[@dakotasmith1561]

Does this knife come in a serrated version?

[@thebudkellyfiles]

Great vid on a great knife. One small point: I believe the butt cap is aluminum. I ordered this knife, but have not received it yet, so I am not sure. Thanks!

[@briansmith9175]

+thebudkellyfiles. My butt cap I think is 1070steel like the rest of it. It feels heavy
