Affordable Price Schrade SCHF51 Frontier Full Tang Fixed Blade Knife with Sheath and Ferro Rod Sharpener

Think you can’t improve on something that’s already great? Schrade begs to differ. The Schrade SCHF51 Frontier is an updated version of the highly regarded SCHF36, which won Blade Magazine’s People’s Choice of the Year in 2015.

The SCHF51 retains the same 5.05-inch 1095 carbon steel blade, but it features an upgraded blade coating. The thick powder coating of the previous iteration created drag while batoning, but the SCHF51 uses a Teflon-like coating that not only holds up better to rigorous use but also adds an extra layer of rust-resistance to the steel.

Made of durable black TPE, the handle was extended and jimping on the lower part of the grip was removed. This ensures there are no hot spots in your grip, making it comfortable to wield for hours on end. A pronounced curvature toward the rear of the grip also keeps the knife from slipping out of your hand. Less aggressive jimping on the handle near the spine of the blade gives even greater control when dealing with finer tasks.

The Schrade SCHF51 comes with a black polyester belt sheath as well as a ferro rod, striker, and sharpening stone.
