Schrade Button Lock

Posted by Dan on 12th Feb 2021

This is a great knife for the money. I like button locks but don't want to spend a fortune because I use most of my pocket knives at work and this is great little work knife. I didn't think I would like the style of it but this changed once I actually had it in my hand. I like the fact that the button locks the blade closed as well as open. One interesting consequence of this is that you can disengage the button lock by locking it open on the safety when the blade is folded. This makes deploying the blade easier later on when you want it (depending on the tightness of the pivot screw), then take off the safety to re-engage the button lock when the blade is open or leave the safety on and it will be like a normal slip joint. Sounds complicated but it's just using the safety in reverse, very interesting arrangement and makes the safety actually useful. In general I'm liking Schrade more and more. Had a Benchmade bugout and both omega springs broke in a matter of months, had three boker plus knives and only one had a pivot screw not made of mush so compared to these more expensive knives my Schrade knives are looking and working better and better all the time.

Nice knife amazing delivery

I never write reviews and this is more about Heinnie's delivery. Ordered at 5:20 yesterday afternoon, was emailed 6 minutes later with despatch confirmation, and the knife arrived today! The knife is decent enough. Tough quality and good steel. I'm a collector and bushcrafter and as this is a bit unusual it will go well with the rest of the collection.

One to keep...

Whilst I haven't written any review for this knife until now, I can't believe it hasn't had any yet, I owned many knives of all sorts, from the Opinel to the LionSteel. I have had this knife for several months and I have put it to constant light use around the house / kitchen. I really like it. It's locked closed, it's locked opened. I was a bit wary initially with the button lock, but to be honest, it is pretty solid and once locked open (or close in that respect) there is no movement whatsoever. It's AUS8 which I much prefer compare to say 8Cr13MoV (I owned one knife with that metal and I hate it. So much so that since then, I have never bought another knife base on that fact alone). Right, anyway, this Schrade Button Lock Back to me is a really good knife for the money, you get AUS8, deep carry clip, a knife which is secure opened and closed (it's not going to accidentally open in your pocket or jacket). It has a cool factor and you can still open and close it one handed if you really want to. All in all and for the price, if you get one, you won't regret it. As for HH, well... no introduction needed - 5* service of course.
