Theres nothing quite like a blade that does it all at a budget price. Nice job

[@gideonstactical]

The Daily Shooter That is right, and thanks.

[@TrueBladeOH]

Btw, I've been watching your channel for about 6 months now and you do very honest and unbiased gear reviews. Nice job!

[@gideonstactical]

TrueBladeOH Thanks so much!

[@jameshawkins5939]

I have this knife and liked it a lot until I got the Work Sharp field sharpener. Now, being able to sharpen the recurve section of the blade, now I love the knife.

[@CazokingPlays]

Over hear in Australia everythings so expensive! I got the schf 10 version (only difference is the micarta handle) cost me $80 but in my opinion it was definitely worth it. One of the best knives I have ever owned.

[@gideonstactical]

Callum Zafer Right on.

[@em23]

80 dollars? Yikes!

[@TrueBladeOH]

Hey Gideon, Great review. I have had my F26 for a few months now and absolutely love it! The hollow grind bites into wood amazingly well for chopping, and it can feather stick all day long. I ground down the gimping on the bottom of the handle (the only design flaw I've seen on this knife) and now the handle is extremely comfortable and grippy. I love the TPE material because the more I use my knife the more comfortable it gets. Also the gimping on the spine past the handle works great to throw sparks with a ferro rod. I did buy a Spec-Ops combat master sheath for the F26, and it sits on my self with my F9 ready to go into the woods. The F26 is ideal in my opinion for a camping knife, it has all the capabilities of a larger knife without the added weight.

[@TrueBladeOH]

+TrueBladeI Sorry Aaron, brain fart on my part. This is still my favorite general purpose knife. I'm still loving the blade design, the comfortable TPE handles and the great coating on this knife it wears evenly and still looks great after months of use! Schrade does a great job making solid knives at a budget price.

[@BibleStudent4U]

Great Review I have both the SCHF9 and the BK2 and am ordering the SCHF26, honestly of the F9 and BK2 I prefer the F9 as surprising as that may seem. The handle of the BK2 has NO grip or traction what so ever, its just hard plastic with no textural details to securely stay in my hand. I really love the rubberized handle on the F9, yes it's a fat handle, but I have large hands so it works fine. Also I find the balance of the BK2 to be heavy in the handle and very awkward to chop with. I can't wait to get my hands on the F26 and see how it stacks against my F9. This coming from a guy who used to hate Schrade knifes.

[@lidji08]

Mr . gideontactical I would love to see how you test all knives not only on wood , but on meat too, for example how some knives perform on meat processing, maybe some skinning, of course you don't have to kill a deer for it, just my thoughts. Thank you you channel is very interesting

[@MasterK9Trainer]

I noticed recently that the SCHF10 is selling for $25 at Knife Center and on Amazon. According to a video on Knife Center's website, the SCHF10 has been discontinued. I'm considering buying an extra one after all the positive comments.

[@alaskaraftconnection-alask3397]

First-rate review video regarding the Schrade SHF 26. Here at Alaska Raft Connection - Alaska-BushRafter, I assess lots of outdoor gear pertaining to boating Alaska’s remote waters (mild to wild). Boating-wise… I evaluate rafts, catarafts, kayaks, canoes, sportboats, and hybrid inflatables and things like solid frameworks and essential on-water accessories. Concerning camp gear… I consider items significant to the accomplishment of a float plan, and what kit is dependable vs. failure in a true wilderness self-reliance trip --- whether it be experts or novices. I categorically like your examination and demonstration as well as agree on personal thoughts for the Schrade SHF 26. I have put the Schrade SHF 10 (in essence equivalent steel blade composition and geometry features with Micarta laminate handle) through rugged practical-side of field task, and am remarkably pleased with the overall capabilities and qualities of the knife. It is a complete package for its multi-role utility bush blade. The price is undeniably unbelievable for what this knife exemplifies. I’d relate that at 3x the price I’d still own this utility ‘camp-warrior’ blade. --- Thanks for your time - Brian

[@paulie4x1]

Hi Aaron, I see we survivalist/bushcrafter's are going into longer blade lenght knives, and 5"-6" seem to be very popular, although my favorite blade lenght on my survival knife is 7" but I also like a choil on the blade on my knives, and ofcorce a Saber Vex Grind, I alway's liked the Seahorse Style Handle like that Schrade, but I just got my Rodent 4 just a few hour's ago, and it has the Lightning Bolt Style Handle, it's one of the most comfortable handle I ever held, the other knife I ordered is the Rodent 6 but I had the top guard taken off, and thinned down because it was around .260 thick a very robust knife before you do anything to it it's built like a tank, but that's what I had done to mine, I have a nice selection of 6" blades, but the Rodent 6 is one of my best, but it's also pricy, I like what your doing with your video's it's very important work to be able to get people get out and experience the out of door's, the knife your showing seem's to be a good knife for that, keep up the great work, good job.

[@Airik1111bibles]

I think Schrade should have added this knife to their upgraded line the 51&52 which have way better handles now. If I were to get this blade I definitely would get the schf10 instead because the micarta scales cover that jimping up and give you a thicker grip. Schrade has some gems out there that have been overlooked with all the new stuff they have released some of the old blades end up forgotten. What really impressed me about that knife is the batoning, it really kicks butt imho and the coating is awesome.

[@MrSpartan117fan]

I have the schf10 and the micarta scales dont cover the jimping , yeah i with it had the updated handle i find it to small and a bit uncomfortable for my hands

[@MichaelMixson]

Schrade has come out of the corner swinging in the last few years got a few of their new knives and cant beat them!!!

[@crosshair64]

Schrade got one past me Mr Aaron, the schf10 and 26 are almost identical. I appreciate your review sir.

[@gideonstactical]

Brad Barber No problem!

[@MysterPynk]

I have the SCHF10 which is the same knife and micarta handles. LOVE it. Do wish the sheath was better but for a car-bag, where it's not used often (but gets plenty of use for comment), it's not so important. If buying a new sheath, the Becker and other knives can be considered as cost rises to about the same. I found little ways to mod the sheath just fine, so can you. Keeps the value in the purchase. Totally recommend this as an all-purpose camp/survival knife budget or not, I prefer it to several other blades I own costing double and it can't be beat if cost is considered.

[@garyridley3410]

I like the versatility of this knife and the price is awesome

[@cb3391]

Thank you for not shilling out for ridiculous 100 dollar knives

[@davidrogers182]

I’ve owned the SCHF9 in 1095 and it’s held up well, holds great edge when convexed.

[@jimspinasbook]

Great review. Shows how practical this blade is for real situations.

[@jessicafisk5323]

I love the designed and how it can be used for several things. Looks like a very heavy duty knife. Would love to own one.

[@Harley13411]

I like the hollow grind and it's a fixed blade,i like.

[@derecklockwood8633]

thanks for the video/chance. You are very descriptive with specifications and why they are good, or bad. And that doesn't take up minutes upon minutes upon minutes, which is great

[@jessicafisk5323]

Shared on FB, TW, G+, and Pinterest . Thanks y'all for the opportunity

[@csh6220]

I wonder if people in China are as leary of 1095 or S30V steel as Americans are of 8cr13 or 7cr14mov? 8cr13 is .8% carbon so it will hold an edge long enough when heat treated properly. You like Schrade's heat treat and that is good enough for me. You use many knives/steels and know what you are talking about. For $33 you cannot go wrong, though the sheath sucks. This knife is a workhorse. Thank for all the work you do to inform us.

[@tyrenolds0123]

Schrade blades are the best blades for the money. They are sharp right out of the box, and take a beating and come back for more.

[@jlrlobo]

Love that clean blade, not serrated. Shared video on multimedia.

[@crosshair64]

I really enjoyed this review Aaron, I have a half dozen Schrade knives, including the Schf10, which looks like the knife your reviewing. I stripped the coating off mine, and put a 90 degree spine on it to strike a ferro rod. I'm not sure if you're mistaken on the model, or if I'm mistaking, but if not, there twin knives. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience on this awesome blade from Schrade knives, I appreciate it sir.

[@gideonstactical]

Brad Barber The schf10 is the micarta version this the schf26 is the kraton version.

[@crosshair64]

So that explains the lesser price point. Is everything else pretty much the same knife.

[@idrisomarmorris]

Thanks for the review! just ordered one after watching. It costs a lot more where I am though.

[@snakrut]

Have had this knife for a while but I appreciate your review. I was positively surprised by the knife's heft and quality. Perhaps you were a bit harder on the sheath than you needed to be but like other comment I don't carry anything heavier than a Mora on my belt. Lot of good channels on the web but yours is one of the best.

[@gideonstactical]

leon green Thanks so much!

[@tnewdad]

Great review...I own an SCHF9 & love it, but this one should be on the list for anyone in the market for a new knife. Thanks!

[@jameshill6872]

The SCHF 26 looks like SCHF10 with different handle scales. Cleveland kydex is making sheaths for Schrade knives. Nice vid.

[@gideonstactical]

james hill I will check them out, thanks!

[@alexcrawford300]

I don't know man I got the same knife and it seems to have a really soft steel I was prossessing some wood it did fine then I noticed that the blade was dented. I did some experiments by that I mean from a steel ruler on the cutting edge about an inch from it it still dented not sure if manufacturing problem or I'm just an idiot

[@evgenymaslay721]

Cool knife with comfortable grip! Reliable assistant.

[@pinkbrisingr78]

Good review Aaron! Nice to see some "less expensive" blades in the mix!!

[@mrks998]

good strong knife paid 50€ for it. only the sheath feels little cheap and theres no retention on it. i have batoned it a lot and the coating is not coming off one bit.

[@oHalfBreedo]

Great price, great looks, dependable cause it's a Schrade !!!

[@fraudioc]

just bought this knife, really want it from long time. it's way heavier than expected and I found the bevel really thick. I have to definetely reprofile it, this way it's almost useless, the angle of the sharpening id too obtuse on mine. Time will tell me if it is a nice blde. yours seem way sharper in your review

[@vikkilott5923]

Love to try out this blade.....don't have one like it

[@MartinPeterWhitney]

Got this knife beginning of the year. Great knife but planning on making a kydex sheath for it.

[@gideonstactical]

Martin Whitney Right on!

[@RemyDufresne98]

Love the reviews man! Very good info packed into the vid, and well put together

[@gideonstactical]

Remy Dufresne Thanks so much!

[@sassurvivalman]

yea that would be the biggest no no the sheath. but the fix blade its self its awesome good job on the review brother

[@rcorkum44]

THAT'S ONE WICKET WEAPON THERE,I LIKE ALL OF IT!

[@jameshoneycutt4161]

Scharade is a underrated knife .I own three and have for a long time.I would love to see a review on the Mtech Extrere Raptor Bowie thinking about pulling trigger but would like your honest opinion before.

[@MrFjackie13]

I think I might have to get on of these. I'm pretty impressed. Great review. Thanks jeff

[@gideonstactical]

Fjackie13 Thanks a lot and I am glad it helped!

[@davidgau]

Good review I got one ordered looks like a great knife for camping/survival

[@smbikeshop]

Looks like a great camping Knife!

[@michaelshook2937]

I would like to see you do a review on the new schrade knives with1095 high carbon steel. You do a great job keep up the good work.

[@gideonstactical]

michael shook Thanks so much, I will doing a review as soon as I get my hands on them.

[@thefucrew9865]

I got this as a birthday present. Any updates on this ?

[@gideonstactical]

Not sure been along time since I’ve handled a schrade.

[@drcsep]

GreaT review. Great knife. However, I would for the moment stay with my SCHF9.

[@gideonstactical]

Carlos Sepulveda Right on.

[@djeborn1]

Thanks for your review. It helped me decide on my purchase. :)

[@gideonstactical]

+djeborn glad to help!

[@jkennedy1668]

Great honest reveiw--THANKS

[@johnhulbert6083]

nice design and nice overall

[@mortarmedic1973]

Beautiful knife

[@Wavester64]

Please post link to Spec-Ops to get modular sheath, thanks.

[@dglantz10]

love the design. Good overall knife

[@monroedragonfly]

Now that you have used both the sch10 and sch26 which handle material do you prefer? The micarta or Kraton?

[@DJ-lw9my]

So awesome, I love this knife

[@paleodynamics6333]

The schf 10 is just the micarta version right

[@alaskankare]

You mentioned the F9's handles being beefy, which I agree, do you know if there are thinner handles you can switch them out with?

[@gideonstactical]

alaskankare Not that I am aware of.

[@JediJunkie247]

Good review as always. God bless.

[@landshark73]

Great review for great knife

[@Tofu.87]

Schf26 vs schf36/37 ? Which should I buy?

[@GrasDeRost]

How long does the edge remain sharp, compared to the 1095 carbon steel of the SCHF51 for example?

[@jeffhart7670]

Good review on a nice knife!

[@scottc95]

do you still have this knife? how has it held up? is it the same as the schf 10? also i have seen some videos of them breaking tips has this been the case with yours?

[@kalvinculp9825]

would you recommend the schf26 or schf9

[@butthedd0233]

Great size.

[@claytonbill]

10:50 He says this is a good secondary blade. What would be a good primary?

[@ronniemewbourn8834]

Great knife!

[@DougFLA123]

I'm trying to decide between the SCHF26, the SCHF10 and the SCHF36M. Which do you prefer and are the SCHF26 and the SCHF10 basically the same knife, with different handles?

[@edn6671]

+DougFLA123 do what i would do and get all of them haha

[@smf0707]

Awesome blade

[@mattf8581]

Great video, great channel, great knife! I'm your huckleberry!

[@rios4175]

Hello Erin I bought that knife but need help on a sharpener which one do u recommend for a curved blade

[@gideonstactical]

The_kid The worksharp field sharpener

[@chokeout412]

Aaron, is the F26 steel better than the F12 (which sucked)? Is it sharper and can hold an edge better? Also, can you recommend a non budge version close to the F26? Thanks.

[@WarDawg77]

Boker Orca is the original knife that Schrade copied/stole the design from. This knife is made in Austria and available in a non coated N690BO Stainless Steel. The average price is about $250.00. The Shrade copy is ok, but if you really use it the edge chips out and requires a lot of maintenance. The N690BO Stainless Steel is a great steel and the edge will hold up much better. I hope that helps.

[@chokeout412]

WarDawg Tactical Thanks for the info. I did some research and ordered an Esee 5. It appears to be most people's choice in survival knives.

[@brandonfernandes8732]

did you have to sharpen the knife

[@ryanlee2754]

nice review =D

[@roberturichuk1573]

Nice knife !!

[@TheLake1963]

my budget is on a budget, this would be perfect

[@ivanbeilekchy9881]

[@svetlanaloskutova399]

Reliable blade!

[@mikedifeo8344]

Good vid. Great review. I have a question on a different knife I would like to ask you. I bought the Izula 2 and the BK14. I like them both, but I think I can make a mod on the BK14 that will make it better. Can you send me your PM so I can send you what I found? Thanks.

[@gideonstactical]

mikedifeo Just message me on youtube through the personal messenger.

[@williamstewart4559]

love the vid if i win would be first schrade i ever owned

[@SmaugtheMagnificent60]

Great camp knife, not so much for a carry knife though.

[@MyfriendscallmeAjax]

awesome, new sub here, looking forward to it!

[@abnergaldos8695]

Nice

[@Harley13411]

Subbed and will share on FB

[@zppsu-drrmo_michaelm.cabil1786]

[@billballbuster7186]

Great knife but I would hardly call 1095 a superior steel. Its old and cheap with no justification for the high prices some of these cost

[@MrKelso159]

The finish will last a life time if you don't chop and baton with it !

[@tavaaanonimo7392]

looks like böker orca

[@haldyde1331]
