This knife feels pretty sturdy upon first impression, the spine is thick and substantial. It feels pretty good in the hand and I’m very sure it would survive what I intend to do with it. The only downside is the sheath/scabbard which feels pretty flimsy and cheap, its made of lower quality nylon which I understand schrade has to do to keep costs low, I would still buy this knife if its $5-10 more if they would have thrown in a kydex or a leather sheath that would give this excellent knife some justice.
A beast of a knife let down by a horrible sheath..
