New 2016 Schrade Knives Video Showcase

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Great video Jon. I think Schrade has done a great job of improving the 36 and 37, and I liked them already. And Chris' knife is sick.

[@Wingman115]

I can't wait to see your balance test on Jessica.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I am hoping to get it in the testing facility this weekend.

[@Wingman115]

Survival On Purpose Can't wait to see that.

[@charleslarson3152]

***** I remember when Bryan tested the balance on the Schrade shovel!! Ha!! Never seen anything like that before!! >;)

[@MichaelTravis12c27]

It appears as though they have addressed all the issues I had with the old "bushcraft" knives and made some substantial improvements to the handles. I'm looking forward to going hands on with all these blades.

[@Wingman115]

I'm looking forward to working these blades.

[@jacquelinen6950]

It is amazing what those knives can do, and the Teflon coating makes a big difference as it makes it more user friendly. Gives me a good Christmas idea for the men in my life. Thanks Jon. Happy Father's Day to all.

Since the advent of the Schrade SCHF42 I've given my attention to this knife company. I was aware of their knives but not interested. That has now changed particularly having watched Chris Tanner's review of the SCHF42 at Preparedmind 101. In watching this video - Wingman115 - it is the SCHF51M that most interests me. It's a handsome blade. It is the micarta that is so eye catching. Here are two blades I have to have: the SCHF42 and SCHF51M. Let me add that, as an avid viewer of many YT channels that give focus to knives, I'm most impressed with Mr. Chris Tanner. This guy's passion for knives and for what he does, generally, does not escape the notice of viewers like me. I like his knife designs a lot. He's very good.

[@Wingman115]

Thanks for checking in and commenting.

[@MrLeonidas0001]

That Jessica X is something. And nice Micarta handles on some of these blades! Exciting stuff Jon.

[@Wingman115]

MrLeonidas0001 "Tactical Adventure Lifestyle" Will be out testing these blades later on this week.. Video coming soon.

[@GearReviewDepot]

Badass blades for sure! The use of 1095 and Micarta makes me think they'll be a top contender to the ESEE line of knives. I can't wait till they're available, I'm definitely picking all of them up. Thank you Wingman for the teaser. Be well my friend.

[@Wingman115]

We the schf37 did win a award at blade. And they improved on that design. I can't wait to get out in the woods with these blades.

[@BigFun4Life]

Those are all really nice my friend.I'm still behind on a couple Schrade reviews.I need to get cought up.

[@Wingman115]

Getter done son. LOL

[@feralwoodcraft]

Very cool, thanks Jon. It's pretty neat to see something like these come out of a "noncustum" shop. "This is for Sparta!" Lol

[@Wingman115]

I love how fast their reacting to what the consumer likes and wants.

[@vincef7487]

It's been TWO YEARS since Schrade messed up. When's the FIX coming?!

[@swhited13]

Love all the new schrade blade, looking forward to adding a few to my kit. In need of a custom kydex sheath maker for a combo sheath. OH one note...it its 'no holes barred' for everyone out there that wants to use the term correctly.

[@Wingman115]

+Scott Whited OK... Thanks for watching.

[@Countryprepper]

Looking forward to seeing those blades in use! Especially the 51 and 52, since I had the 36 and 37. Hopefully I can get them early on and get a review in before they're available everywhere. Do you happen to know what they have coming out for folders?

[@Wingman115]

Me too I think they addressed a lot of issues of those 2 blades.

[@LtSurvival]

Great preview Jon. Those look like awsome blade. Wish i could of gone to blade that look like an awsome show.

[@Wingman115]

Thanks for stopping by. I'm hoping to get out in the woods soon to test these bad boys out.

[@TedsOutdoors]

I don't remember if I left a comment on this video or not. I'm really looking forward to these knives. Thanks

[@Wingman115]

Teds Outdoors HoodCraft Survival Thanks for checking in my friend.

[@dannbailey4654]

I learned a lot, and am saving up for one someday.

[@Wingman115]

Dann Bailey Thanks for stopping by.

[@futuresonex]

I WANT Jessica-X! I don't have any idea about what I'm ever going to do with it, but I want it anyway. I'm really glad to see that Schrade dumped the jimping and recontoured the handle scales. That was my big complaint with those knives. The handles just sucked, but some Wilson tennis racket wrap helped solve the problem.

[@Wingman115]

The TPE handle material is used on a lot of their blades and works really well.

[@futuresonex]

***** The material is fine. It's all the jimping that made those handles so uncomfortable to use.

[@Wingman115]

Look for a release mid August.

[@AvoidingChores]

Good stuff, you know.... That Jessica x is way too big IMO. I watched the gauntlet talking about it, but damn certainly a love it or leave it blade.

[@kpw528]

Great video as always, Jon. Can't wait for the review/testing videos on these blades. the 52M and of course Jess X are my favorites out of these. Random question, what sunglasses are those? I've been meaning to ask, but always forget lol.

[@Wingman115]

Oakley M-Frames with Revant Optics replacement lens.

[@mountainman.4478]

Thanks for the review. I really like the smaller knife with hw micarta handle. Looks more bushcraft. What's the price range for that knife?

[@Wingman115]

Robert West Not sure yet they are not released for sale yet but I'm sure they will be priced well.

[@pawildful]

love the rugged style

[@Wingman115]

Patti Wilder Thanks for watching.

[@701overland]

I am so glad they backed off on the jimping. I can't wait to get a hold of the 51 & 52. I think I will pick up the Jess X as well .. I think it will be more effective than even the kuhkri in my opinion! But to be honest there is really nothing out there like the Jess X!!

[@Wingman115]

True.

[@701overland]

***** SPARTA!!!!

[@Wingman115]

I can't wait to get time to head to the woods to test these knives out.

[@701overland]

I'm looking forward to it!

[@Wingman115]

Thanks for stopping by and checking them out.

[@Jarhead6]

Great stuff!

[@Wingman115]

Thanks brother.

[@tammyreedy8997]

Hey Jon!Those are some AWESOME SCHRADE KNIVES! It would be hard for me to decide which one I like the most.

[@Wingman115]

Tammy Reedy I'm leaning towards the 51M I like it's size and it feels well balanced.

[@tammyreedy8997]

Thank You Wingman115.

[@paulpall6719]

I was looking at buying the Schf36 after watching all the online reviews. However, now that their coming out with the 51, should I buy the 36 or wait for the 51?

[@Wingman115]

I love the 51.

[@tedkachulis8116]

Hey pal! Just found your videos about a week ago and I'm loving the 2016 line up for Schrade. I've got my eye on the SCH52, and the wait for it to release is brutal. Any idea when these will start hitting the stores? Also I've got a question - I like the look of the Micarta, but I've never used a knife with this handle material before. How do the two grips compare, for example, if they get wet? Do you recommend one material over the other? I tend to need very 'grippy' handles.. Thanks

[@Wingman115]

I liked the micarta they grip really well. No news yet on a release date.

[@fog360]

Awesome mate love schrade gear

[@Wingman115]

+fog360 Survival and Bushcraft specialist Thanks for watching my friend.

[@meawoodsman8321]

Nice review Jon, will there be a new version of the SCHF38?

[@Wingman115]

I don't think so. I haven't heard any word on it.

[@SkyrimHod]

I'd been interested in getting the 37 at one point, but heard a lot of people were getting them with either the blade slightly bent or unevenly ground. Have they fixed these issues as well with the new ones?

[@Wingman115]

SkyrimHod I haven't recently heard any claims like that.

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Joh, I like supporting Chris and You, because you guys bring alot of good stuff to our community's table. I can see the similarity of his new Jessica X especially the blade profile it's almost like the BK-9 (Jessica), and I think the BK-9 is a great knife, infact I paired my BK-9 with my BK-10 a great combo, and I think the handle of the new Jessica X will help to make it a great chopper it also reminds me what I thought of the Espada XL by Cold Steel I said Yikes what's with that large handle will anybody want that in their pocket, yet it sells even though it's a bit much for me, as I'm posting, I'm thinking if only it was just a little smaller handle, I like that Spartan look, and I know it will stay in your hand and won't fly away, the angle is good for a chopper, but if it was just a bit smaller, then I wonder why Chris went with the 1070 when he has so much success with the 1095 CroVan with his Jessica, I also like that 1095 CroVan and because of that and Chris I almost have all of that line, maybe it's because of my summer theme and that's compact, for our Ohio brambles, my long knife I chose is the Swamp Rat Rucki, awesone long knife, but for my camp knife I had the Rodent 6 modded, I had it thinned down and the top gaurd taken off and now it look's like a beefy Ratmandu on steriods which the Ratmandu was always and still is one of my Fav's, but now my new Modde Rodent 6 is slowly taking it's place, then my 2Hawks Double Bit Hatchet is becoming my chopper, compact and I can person carry it with N/P, and my Wicked Tough Saw made by Wicked Tree Gear became my saw of choice and beat out the Bacho Laplander for that spot, maybe it will take time for me to get use to that large handle just like it did with that large Espada folder, I dunno, but I wish Chris all the luck, and I support him for the reasons I mentioned, but right now I wish he would of used the 1095 CroVan and a little smaller handle, but what do I know, I wish him the best, Have a Safe, Happy 4th of July John.

[@charleslarson3152]

Great update!!!

[@Wingman115]

Charles Larson Thank you sir.

[@bluetunder40]

Nice One Bro! Happy fathers day my brother

[@Wingman115]

Thx brother.

[@SUFFICIENTSURVIVAL]

Nice blades for sure!!

[@Wingman115]

They will be a fun bunch to review.

[@BestBugOutGear]

More new models? Crap I'm still trying to get a grip on the 2015s! Seems like overkill to me, but I guess they gotta keep folks buying.

[@Wingman115]

New knives is a good thing. LOL.

[@Bandicut]

Great blades :) Waiting for your reviews about this nice knifes. Cheers Uwe

[@Wingman115]

Thanks my friend. I'm hoping soon.

[@Wingman115]

Thanks for checking in.

[@mrmtman146]

Another good vedio I would like to check out the 51. when its ready , Also great shirt ordie, looking forward to see the feild vedios

[@Wingman115]

Thanks my friend.

[@Wingman115]

Thanks my friend. Ordie for life.

[@SLCBushcraft]

I can't wate for Jess x !!!

[@mw3founderjk]

don't really like there TPE scales uncomfortable after a while.i mean good grip and all but not the scales for me and I've never tried micarta scales

[@ak47popoff]

Cool

[@srvctek1]

51 and 52 are awesome...sorry but to me the 43 is a joke.

[@johnvarde1273]

+Mike Hunt must of been some good crack. it looks weird yes but designed to hit without putting pressure on the wrist by bending beck like a machete. i could be wrong

[@johnvarde1273]

LMFAO boomerang

[@brr8888]

+Mike Hunt lol

[@worddunlap]

I agree, the 43 is a total joke. If you need a parang, axe or a boomerang just buy them. It's a poor substitute for all 3. A friend pulled one out on an annual hike. It actually came with a shoulder harness which we all suspected was also for his man boobs....

[@brr8888]

Lmao!

[@noahcorpus6609]

Should call the 43 Two Handles on one blade.

[@Wingman115]

Noah Corpus As with any new design it takes time to catch on. We shall see.

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah John before I hit the hay, a early morning, Our New Year Gathering is a success and it's still going on for a few more days. But a $ 64,000.00 question, The SCHF 43 or the Machaxe BK-4 weight, edge retention and carry comfort. ,, .

[@Wingman115]

BK-4

[@paulie4x1]

Thanx Partner, As You Were. ,, .

[@akiraproject2424]

If you ain't ordnance....

[@Wingman115]

Ya baby!

[@thelambinator9234]

The new Hollow Grind schf43 knives will break , buyer beware.

[@TKDLION]

Why is the Jessica X knife made from 1070? I hope it isn't to reduce manufacturing costs; 1095 is not an expensive steel. I see that those knives still have some of that pain inducing jimping. Hey Schrade, just get rid of the jimping altogether. it is unnecessary. These new "bushcraft" models are essentially carbon copies of previous "bushcraft" models. Why release new models instead of just fixing previous designs? These aren't really bushcraft knives anyway, they are survival knives. Why doesn't Schrade make a Kephart or Nessmuk in 1095, those are examples of bushcraft knives. Doesn't Schrade realize the business they are missing out on? Why is it that only large 1/4 inch thick blades are made from 1095 and smaller thinner blades they always make from that cheap stainless?

[@Wingman115]

I'm not sure why they chose that material. Maybe Chris can answer that.

[@noctilucas]

the 43 blade looks good but the handle looks exaggerate.

[@Wingman115]

+Nocti Lucas It's a beast for sure.
