It is every hard to find a knife these days that offers the features, design, and quality for under $50. Schrade is doing just that with this design from Brian Griffin.

Would you take this over the Tops BOB I’m stuck between the two very different price point but willing to pay it if it’s way better
Chopping with a 4 or even a 6 inch blade will give you nothing but hard exhausting work, ideally you need a 8 inch plus for any chopping if you don’t believe me try both side by side
Designed by a cartoon dog
I have see video`s of too many Schrade knives were the tip snaps off with little effort or edge warping or a massive chip breaking off, some within minutes of coming out of the box and the replacement blade breaking just as easy, Maybe these were the made in China models, hopefully the Taiwan made ones are better quality.
It's crazy that the dog from Family Guy designed this knife, holy shit. 😮
just ordered one and im gonna pair it with my small fuko knife
The one I received is just horrible. The edge grind was so far off center that I'm still working on it with my diamond rods to get it evened out. The handle scales were literally loose to the touch, I had to remove the screws and apply loctite. My Chinese made schf 52 & 56lm were of much better quality and ready to use out of box – but not this Taiwan made knife. I like the design of this knife but I've spent more time trying to make this knife usable than any other knife I ever bought. Urrggg!
Just bought this on Amazon
Good reviews….you got a sub from me
gideonstactical, would you consider doing a review for the Schrade SCHF55 ? (the little brother of the SCHF42, also designed by Brian Griffin) I certainly look forward to viewing it 🙂
taiwan is part of china
i think the new version without the recurve is even better
I missed all the specs, I was distracted by the ant lol
Do you collect knives just for looks and keep some stuff just lying around or do you do collect and use knives? I see you have a collection, do you rotate blades or simply get rid of blades not in use? I'm just starting out and I have some blades. I'm not sure to buy and expand my variety or just keep to the ammount I own. I mean, I'm doing well with what I have. I'm not sure what buying more would do. Can you tell me why you have so many blades? Maybe it'll push me in buying more. Thanks ( Blades I own: BK16, Esee 6, Bk9, Doug Ritter RSK. Schrade 42)
