The Schrade Survival Knife is built for hard use in unforgiving conditions, delivering the strength, durability, and cutting power serious outdoorsmen demand. Whether you’re clearing camp, processing firewood, setting up shelter, or tackling heavy-duty chores deep in the wilderness, this fixed blade is ready to handle the job. Its rugged construction and aggressive design give it the kind of dependable performance you want when conditions turn rough and gear failure isn’t an option.
The knife features a 4.25” cleaver-style blade crafted from durable 3Cr13MoV stainless steel. Known for its toughness and corrosion resistance, this steel is well-suited for demanding outdoor work and repeated field use. The black oxide finish adds an extra layer of protection against wear while reducing glare and giving the blade a bold tactical appearance. The cleaver profile provides excellent chopping ability and added cutting surface, making it ideal for campsite tasks, food prep, and utility work around camp.
Full tang construction gives this knife impressive strength and balance from tip to pommel. At .12” thick and weighing 8.8 ounces, it offers solid heft for controlled chopping and confident handling without feeling oversized on the belt. The tan and black glass-filled nylon handle is textured for a secure grip in wet, muddy, or cold conditions, and the integrated lanyard hole offers additional carry and retention options when conditions get demanding.
A molded tan polymer sheath keeps the knife protected and close at hand with a secure fit and rugged belt clip for dependable field carry.
