SchradeDelta 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 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.

This knife is good looking and is well designed.The handle is a little flat, but the grip is good.From some of the descriptions I thought the blade coating would be rough feeling but mines not. The only disappointment to the knife for me is that it's not heat treated very hard. I sharpened it and it's on the soft side.I have other aus10 knives from Cold Steel and they are considerably harder. I had to work to get a razors edge on it because it rolled so much. I used a leather strop on it and looked under a magnifier afterwards. The burr did not want to break off cleanly indicating a softer heat treatment. But other than that I like it and the sheath. It's a nice handy size.

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.

I spent many days, and nights watching brands and models for my first fixed blade knife and the SCHF59 catch me since the first timeI saw it, but at last minute I went for the Gerber brand (an awesome knife no doubt), but the idea of the SCHF59 still were on my mind, I had saw some vids where they said the grip were no comfy due to the slim of the handle, so I ordered the knife and at same time a pair of 1/8 G10 scales and Voila, problem solved. They were right, despite I don't have big hands is not easy to acomodate the grip, the edge is not the sharper, but it's good, other than that it's a sleek knife, pretty solid (it's a full tang), the weight feels almost like the Gerber despite is smaller than this last one, and aesthetically (IMO) the Schrade looks much better. I think the Schrade comes perfect for the daily tasks, and the Gerber will be the starring of those fishing days.

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! 👍🏼
