With an overall length of 12.875 inches, the Needle offers reach and authority without feeling unwieldy. Its 7.5-inch dagger-style blade is crafted from 7Cr17MoV stainless steel, a reliable and corrosion-resistant alloy known for holding a sharp edge while remaining easy to maintain. The blade’s black finish gives it a bold, tactical appearance while reducing glare and adding an extra layer of protection. Its double-edge serrated design provides exceptional versatility: one edge offers smooth, controlled penetration and slicing, while the serrations give you the cutting power to saw through rope, cordage, and other tough materials when the outdoors demands it.
At 0.16 inches thick, the blade has the strength needed for demanding tasks while maintaining a profile slim enough for quick, precise maneuvering. The Needle’s symmetrical dagger shape enhances balance, making it easy to guide the blade with accuracy. Camp and hike users will appreciate how effortlessly it transitions from slicing tasks around camp to emergency cutting needs on the trail. Schrade designed the Needle with real-world usefulness in mind, and it shows in the blade’s durability and handling.
The black polymer handle provides a secure, lightweight grip that remains comfortable through extended use. Its ergonomic shaping keeps the knife steady in hand, even when conditions are wet or cold. Weighing just 5.65 ounces, the Needle is surprisingly light for its size, allowing you to carry it easily without adding unnecessary bulk to your gear. The full package feels agile yet substantial, creating a confident cutting experience whether you’re performing controlled tasks or working quickly.
To complete the setup, the Needle comes with a well-crafted leather sheath featuring a belt loop for secure carry. The sheath holds the knife firmly in place while offering quick accessibility when you need it. Its classic leather construction adds durability and a touch of traditional outdoor style that complements the knife’s aggressive modern profile. Whether worn on a belt or secured in pack gear, the sheath ensures the Needle stays protected and always within reach.
