Delta Class Wolverine Fixed Blade with 65Mn High Carbon Stainless Steel for Outdoor Survival

I ordered this after receiving an SCHF57 and wanted something bigger (couldn't bring myself to return the smaller knife as it's a great knife as well). Well made knife and sheath just like it's little brother. It came sharp enough for this type of knife with a nice symmetrical grind and has only been stropped to maintain the edge after a good bit of carving. I did initially hit it with a ceramic rod and strop for a screaming sharp edge. Love the feel of the G10 scales and heft of this knife. Like a few reviewers said...the sheath was so tight I could barely get it out at first, thought it might have been accidentally glued in. I fixed this by pulling the knife slightly out of the sheath and setting it in the Florida sun for awhile. Bring it in to cool down with the knife still slightly out of the sheath. Now it's perfect, with good retention and still no rattle. If it's still too tight for your liking.....repeat the process. This is my 3rd Schrade in a few months and they've all been well made, outstanding value knives. I could care less where it was made and am thankful to be able to buy such a great knife for so little $$. I'll just spend the money I saved in a nice AMERICAN restaurant with my English girlfriend. In a SHTF situation if I only had room for one knife, this is the one I'd take. Thanks for another great knife Schrade and Amazon !

First let me say that I love that Schrade made a universal sheath. Thank you. The steel on this is supposed to be 65Mn high carbon. Blade length is just a tad over 3.75 inches. It does come with a ferro rod and a striker too. Seems there were some initial issues as to whether this knife could perform as a fire starter. Several videos on line prove that it can if you do some minor adjustments to the blade. So here are the pro's: Very light weight at 6 ounces. Love the textured handle. Not sure if it is Micarta or not but it fits my hand like a glove. No slipping yet. Full tang with nice lanyard hole at the top end. Sharp but you will need to do some fine tuning. A non issue for me. Perfect size for general tasks and so far it appears to be very sturdy. Some light gimping on top of the blade which actually feels good. You can baton with it just don't try to cut red woods with it. Smaller limbs are no problem. Feathers wood decent enough. Has a good balance. You can remove the ferro rod holder. Cons: Non that make this a bad knife. The sheath is a tad bit tight but hey over time that will change. Overall I highly recommend this if you prefer smaller and more controllable knives.

The knife and the sheath are great. The knife sharpens fairly easy and retains it's edge well. The g-10 scales are nice. The knife fits perfectly in the sheath with no rattle. It's the belt loop that is the drawback with this knife. It's terrible. Probably the worst carry system I have ever encountered. Luckily you can remove the belt loop carry system that comes attached to this sheath and replace it with a tech lock. With the tech lock carry system installed this is a very nice edc, camping or hunting knife made of decent steel that will handle about any task you throw at it from skinning to batoning.

I really like this series of knife. They hold a good edge. They sharpen nice. They’re durable. And they’re affordable.

So impressed by this knife. Schrader makes a solid piece of equipment. I am usually a Gerber or Sog guy. However this knife makes me second guess it all, purchased based on reviews and the style of the knife. Definitely was not disappointed. Sheath is solid as ever, locks in great, knife is very sturdy and feels amazing. The price is even a better bargain, most knives like this are around $60 and up. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a solid, reliable, cheap working knife.

This is by far the best value and highest quality survival knife I have ever purchased, for the money. The fit and finish are impeccable, it came sharp as a razor and holds a good edge, and the sheath is slim, lightweight, and low profile. I removed the belt buckle and fero rod attatchmebts (which is very easy), gave it a custom camo paint finish, and tied a paracord lanyard to add a nice looking functional touch. This knife now holds a coveted place in my bugout bag. Get one today! 👍🏼

First off let me say that the reason i cary this knife is for personal defense as an EDC, so i wont be chopping trees with it. With that being said i feel like it fits the bill way better than most people's folders/assisted knives. Its bigger but not obnoxious ( than a folder ). And in addition, there are no locks to fail on you. The 65nm steel is the same steel used on my Chanceinhell machette by CTKT which is a steel chosen for toughness, so as long as you use it as a knife i anticipate 0 failures. The balance of the blade is also on point, making it fun to twirl or transition from blade up or blade down with a little practice. The sheath locks the knife in place with little rattling, and the ferro rod provided comes with a striker so you wont need to file the blade or mess up the edge using the knife to strike it. I love it so much im hesitant to use it for dumb shit only because i want to preserve the finish on it. Definately a great buy! Now for people who arent nerds about knives let me tell you that this is not a stainless, so dont be letting it get wet or stay wet. Clean it and oil it after repeated use and keep it dry when you can to prevent rusting. If you have 100, 200 or even 500 dollar knives in your collection i would still recomend this knife. For $27, you wont cry if the cops take it or you misplace it, and you will know that you have a solid piece on your hip. P.s. i have medium size hands so this fits me well. A person with large hands will not appreciate this knife as well as the handle scales are on the thin side.

Schrade seems to have improved their lineup in recent years, even making some of their knives in the USA again. This is the 4th Schrade I've purchased recently. The first 3 I really liked, this one not so much. The good: I like the materials used, G-10 scales and AUS-10 steel. AUS-10 steel is the premium stainless from the AUS line produced by Aichi Steel. AUS-10 can be made to be very hard, as high as HRC 60. As such it offers great wear resistance and edge retention. It is however easy to sharpen and can be sharpened to a very fine edge. AUS-10 also provides good toughness so resists chipping and breaking. Since it is stainless it also resists rust. I have for years owned many Cold Steel knives made from AUS-10 and found them to be rugged and great performers. The pattern on the G-10 scales and the excellent placement of the jimping on the top of the blade make gripping this knife easy, even with wet or oily hands. When testing this knife it's performance equaled the other AUS-10 knives in my collection so Schrade seems to processing the steel well. Great performer! Now the bad: One of first steps when receiving a new knife is to compare the actual dimensions with those listed by the manufacturer. I use only Starrett digital micrometers, and calipers. With this knife, for the very first time I found a blade that was thinner than the spec listed by the manufacturer. Even the cheapest knives meet or exceed this measurement. The handle scales were also disappointingly thin. I'm going to have to add liners to make me a little more secure holding this knife. I do have large hands however (XL or XXL gloves) so the handle might fit you better. The heads of the screws have suffered a bit of cam-out so they are rough to the touch and look bad. No QA process? Finally, just a few times pulling the knife in and out of the plastic sheath is already wearing away the blade coating, leading one to not expect the coating to last long. About the sheath...I am old and in turn old school. I prefer a good leather sheath. Some of the plastic sheath are good though, Ka-Bar, Cold Steel, and Glock especially. The sheath that comes with this knife is not in that league. Of all the built-in knife sharpeners I have seen though this one is the least offensive. I'll probably end up keeping it though. Update: I have been working with this knife and overall like it. I've sharpened until it's as sharp as a straight razor and is holding that edge quite well. I've added red liners to the handle scales. It looks cool and the added handle thickness is very welcome. At first the sheath was very tight but that has quickly changed. The sheath grips the blade on the finger guard. The blade coating has worn away already and now the knife slides out much too easily. I'll be tossing this sheath and will making or buying a leather one.

Diseño: El diseño del cuchillo es muy bueno, sus curvas son suaves y el mango cumple con la ergonomia de una mano promedio. La cuchilla es de una sola hoja y el mango es de micarta tallada que da un buen agarre y comodidad al uso. Funcionalidad: Es un cuchillo sumamente robusto al igual que los otros Schrade, sin embargo el filo que trae de nuevo es un poco mediocre, pero nada que no se arregle con una buena piedra de afilado. El ferrocerio es muy bueno y no es decorativo como anda por ahí alguien diciendo. Es importante que para que el ferrocerio funcione se le retire parte del recubrimiento negro que trae de fabrica, mismo procedimiento aplica a parte de la hoja de cuchillo si quieres usarlo para raspar el ferrrocerio. Su funda es rígida y en efecto, es dura de abrir. Esto es un beneficio porque evita que tu cuchillo salga de su funda accidentalmente cuando lo amarras a la mochila y andas en terreno muy accidentado, adicionalmente si tienes niños pequeños te sirve de "seguro" para que no saquen el cuchillo y se corten. No obstante, con el uso la funda plástica tendera a aflojarse y a que el cuchillo salga con mayor suavidad. Si se desea acelerar el proceso de aflojado, puedes calentar gradualmente con un encendedor la parte que "aprisiona"el mango y de esta forma abrirlo para que saga mas fácil.

Good quality for price. Knife not fully sharpened on delivery, but easily rectified. Feels very sturdy in hand. Fire starter works well!

Super messer geile Qualität und super Grip

Compré este cuchillo en octubre, por poco menos de 500. Estoy extremadamente satisfecho con él. Previamente ya tenía el Schrade SCHF52 que es una bestia, pero no es precisamente portátil. Este el 59, por el tamaño ha resultado extremadamente práctico. Lo he usado en el taller y acampando para partir madera, cortar cuerda, abrir latas, etc. Ha aguantado de todo, hasta arrojarlo contra troncos muertos. Por el uso, ha ido perdiendo el recubrimiento en la punta pero es normal. El mango sigue firme y sólido. El filo no se ha dañado, sólo de vez en cuando le doy una repasada con una piedra cerámica Lansky. La verdad no entiendo las quejas de las reseñas anteriores. La funda es bastante buena (para el precio). Sí es un poco dura, pero lo necesario para asegurar el cuchillo. El pedernal funciona a la perfección, sólo hay que rasparle el recubrimiento a la barra (como a todos). Anexo un video demostrando ambos. Espero sea de ayuda. Saludos.

Su filo y acero es bueno, se le cayo muy facil el recubrimiento gris y comienza a oxidarse donde ya no hay recubrimiento y su agarre es algo incomodo, por su mango que es muy duro y corto, pense que era goma el recubrimiento del mango pero es plástico rígido, pero es muy util y fuerte he partido leña con el es aceptable por el precio..
