JayseaJaysea: This is a pretty nice knife with a nice leather sheath. It came pretty sharp but after running it through my work sharp sharpener, now it’s sticky sharp lol. Very comfortable handle and a solid feeling full tang toughness. Can’t wait to put this knife through a good weekend test with cutting steaks, veggies, cheese, salami some lite whittling. Going to use and abuse it for couple weeks then see how the sharpening goes from a very dull blade.

popo22: I have owned several of the smaller "sharpfinger" skinning knives over the years and always found them to be good quality, functional, and a real bargain. After ordering and receiving the larger "deer-slayer" version I was very pleasantly surprised.
It arrived with arm shaving sharpness and a nice fit and finish. The sheath is of surprisingly good quality and construction. Considering the price point and quality, for a great design, balance, and functionality, I can't see why anyone could ask for more at this price. I have many much more expensive fixed blade "skinners" but I doubt you can find a better tool for the price.

Rick Clark: Item received 2 days before original estimated time frame! Sheath is very well made and not nearly as flimsy at it looked in original add. The blade itself has a very keen edge with no scratches,blotches , etc. Handle was formed precisely to the tang,no burrs or ridges. Rsearch determined Schrade hasn't made any knives "stateside" since the late 1990's or early 2000's. The company was absorbed by something called "Taylor Enterprises" which,in turn was subsumed by another organization. Long story short.... this little gem was manufactured in China....surprised!!!? I wasnt. Anyway it's very well made,or appears to be anyway. I collect these things so won't be going out to skin a deer,bear or any other beast. Quality control was spot on the day this blade went down the line. Thank You.

Kurt Smith: Love this Schrade blade design. I have a smaller, more medium-sized one and another just a little smaller still. But this larger one is very versatile, like I said, i love the design. It's used on camp-outs for cutting meat for grilling, with its pseudo-cleaver shape and very sharp edge, or as a utility knife for cutting up veggies, cooked meats, etc. As you might expect with the price, it will lose its edge sooner than your US-made Case or Buck, but it's nice steel and sharpens easily. I think the trick to keeping the brand-new sharp is to sharpen/hone it often and regularly. I do that after almost every trip. I suppose it'll wear a little faster but it's easy to keep it brand-new sharp all the time that way. Otherwise, I'm very satisfied with the handle and its construction, the size, feel and balance are great, and the blade is strong and stiff, even if a little thinner than you'd like, The sheath is well constructed and sized right but I can't speak for it's durability if you carry it daily. Mine stays in the camp mess box - makes an excellent block knife!

W BRUCE MACDONALD: A great knife for the price. Made in China, this knife is beautifully constructed. The one I received has no flaws what so ever and was received razor sharp. The stiff leather case is well designed and will fit up to a 3 inch belt. I just love the feel of the saw cut handle which is both beautiful and practical. You can't go wrong for the price as this knife's quality is equal to ones multiple times it's price.

Rabbiddog: This is another Schrade classic that's been around for a long time. Though these are no longer made in the US (and no longer made with Carbon steel) they are still decently made and a good buy for the price. The sweeping blade edge and point make these excellent for dressing, skinning and quartering large game. My uncle had an original that he carried with him all the time while hunting. It was his favorite game knife.

The blade is nice and thick, just right for this type of knife. With a finger notch and thumb jimping to ensure you can control this blade pretty well when performing such tasks. The Delrin handle material is the same type Schrade has been using for years and should last a lifetime. I have 35+ year old Schrades with this same handle material and they haven't shown any signs of breaking or chipping (though some have worn down some). The knife is decently balanced for this type of knife and feels good in the hand.

Now for the blade steel. Taylor brands, as well as other knife reviewers, like to list the steel as the equivalent of 440C. However this is incorrect. Taylor Brands site lists the blade material as 7Cr17. If you go a site like A.G. Russell...
