PERFECTION!

and the next day I was out in the woods with it it chops very well didn't need to baton with it but I know from the weight and size that it can do the job with the very thick blade I was even able to clean a hog right on the spot fits great in my hand the sheath is nice the sharpener wasn't the best but a good add on the fire stick works great another great purchase from knifecenter

Super Heavy Duty Knife!!

This is a large heavy duty knife that is definitely a workhorse!! It has a decent quality sheath and came with a decent quality diamond grit sharpener and fire starter flint rod. I can not stress how large and heavy this blade is!! At a true quarter in the majority of the length of the blade this knife has plenty of mass when chopping, but is surprisingly balanced when holding it in with the index finger in the forward chole. The handle profile fells very snug and safe.

Great Buy

Pros: Size of handle, versatility, accessories, price and comfort. Cons: Would have preferred a flat grind, and a kydex sheath.

Not just good for the money

There are a lot of reviews on line about this knife and I was not disappointed. They were not just Schrade hype. This is really great camp knife and a one tool knife if you need it to be. I would not feel under equipped at all if this were the only tool I had. Great for survival situations.

Great value for a great knife...

Not for gear snobs. For those who still want quality at the best price!!! This HEAVY duty chopper fits the bill. Good quality blade with decent steal. I would give it a 5 if the sheath was equally built... It's not bad but the knife will out last it. You will need to make your own (Kydex) if your on a budget. Online sheaths cost more than the knife...

A bargin price for this beast.

My review is for the SCHF52M Frontier which is the same basic knife with different material scales on it. •This is a Very Large Full size, Heavy Fixed Blade Survival Knife. It is very heavy and feels incredibly stiff and strong in the hand You could chop through anything with this beast. This knife is a combination of the ESEE 5 and ESEE 6 knives. •Massive 0.230" thick, ½ High Sabre Grind blade is Hollow Ground and is very thick and strong behind the point tip due to the squared spine edges and having no swage. •The extra-long and large girth handle scales are full size, hand filling, contoured milled Micarta. •The blade spine has moderately squared off edges for fire steel striking. •Large thumb jimping on blade spine behind the ricasso is oddly placed. Jimping should have been placed on the spine above index finger choil for better control during push cuts. •Extra-large 1” diameter index finger choil at the ricasso for detail work. •Extended tang pommel drops at the heel for striking chores and serves as a rear handle bolster when chopping. •Large nylon sheath is well made and has two storage pockets for the fire starter and sharpening stone. •This knife should excel at stationary heavy field work. This is not a lightweight hiking knife! I hope the heat treating is done well enough for rough use. Time will tell.

Great Knife for the Price

Took this knife camping and used it to carve, cut and chop everything from food to fire wood. It's a great all around knife. Came sharpened and resharpens easily. Sharpening stone that came with it could be a little better quality. TPE handle has great grip when wet and the handle is very comfortable reducing hand fatigue.

Great Knife with a Limited Sheath

I got the SCHF52 Frontier so I could have several large survivalist knives. This knife definitely fits the bill. It's built like a tank and would be very difficult to break it. Due to its size and weight it isn't meant to be a EDC.This would be a great "Castaway" knife to use for survival if you were stuck on an island. They did make the sheath with a pocket that has a sharpener and a ferro rod. That was nice of Schrade. The only thing I don't care for is the way the sheath was made. Other than the belt loop, there isn't any reasonable way of attaching the knife to a pack with molle. I don't know why that was done. It would have been easy to attached some molle on the back of the sheath. That's my main criticism. Other than that, I highly recommend the Schrade 7" Frontier.It's an excellent value.
