Schrade Lateral AUS-8 Sheepsfoot Folding Knife - Dark Green

A folding knife designed for everyday carry (EDC). The Sheepsfoot-profile blade is made of Japanese AUS-8 stainless steel, which offers excellent corrosion resistance. The smooth blade has a satin finish. The handle is made of G10 laminate with a non-slip texture. The knife opens using a flipper, and the Frame Lock ensures safe use.

Japanese AUS-8 steel

The blade is made of Japanese AUS-8 stainless steel, which is used in utility knives. It is characterized by good corrosion resistance and is relatively easy to sharpen. It offers a good balance of wear resistance and edge retention while maintaining good toughness.

sheepsfoot blade with a satin finish

The blade, with a Sheepsfoot profile, is 83 mm long and 3.2 mm thick. It features a smooth cutting edge achieved through a hollow grind. The blade is finished with a satin finish, which gives it a semi-matte surface, ensuring an attractive appearance and increasing scratch resistance. On the spine of the blade, where the thumb rests, there is jimping, which improves control over the tool during use.

frame lock, flipper opening

A durable Frame Lock is responsible for locking the blade in place. The knife is opened manually using a flipper, which also serves as a cross guard, and the smooth deployment of the blade is facilitated by the Ultra Glide mechanism, which is based on ball bearings.

Comfortable everyday carry is ensured by a spring-loaded steel clip that allows the knife to be easily attached to a belt or the edge of a pocket. At the end of the handle, there is a hole for threading a lanyard.

AUS-8 feature
AUS-8
AUS-8 is a Japanese stainless steel, equivalent to 440B steel, characterized by a good balance between corrosion resistance, ease of sharpening, and edge retention. The carbon content (0.7-0.75%) affects the hardness of the steel, while chromium (13-14.5%) provides very good corrosion and abrasion resistance. Vanadium additives (up to 0.26%) improve the homogeneity of the steel's crystal structure and increase the blade's resistance to abrasion. The steel also contains molybdenum (0.1-0.3%), manganese (0.5%), silicon (0.4-1%), and nickel (0.49%). After proper heat treatment, AUS-8 steel achieves a hardness of 58-60 HRC, making it a solid material with good cutting properties and durability. The steel is widely used in mid-range knives, mainly produced in Japan and Taiwan, such as the popular Ontario RAT 1.
System Ultra Glide feature
System Ultra Glide
Ultra-Glide system used in Schrade knives is a ball bearing-based opening mechanism designed to ensure smooth, light, and quick one-handed blade deployment. This solution minimizes the resistance of the mechanism, making the blade movement smooth, precise, and much more pleasant than in designs without bearings. Ultra-Glide significantly facilitates knife operation by reducing the effort required to open it, making it particularly practical in EDC knives.
G10 feature
G10
G10 is a lightweight and extremely durable material, considered one of the best for knife production. It is created by pressure-pressing fiberglass with phenolic resin, which gives it high durability and resistance to mechanical damage. It is chemically inert, does not conduct electricity, and retains its properties at both low and high temperatures. In terms of parameters, it is similar to carbon fiber, but its production is much cheaper. G10 handles are manufactured by precision cutting and cutting, which increases the cost of processing but ensures a perfect fit and long knife life.
Satin feature
Satin
Satin finishing is one of the most popular blade finishes, achieved by grinding the steel with fine-grained abrasives. Parallel micro-scratches remain on the surface, giving the knife a technical, matte appearance. Satin finishing has both aesthetic and practical significance - a smoothed blade is easier to clean, and the slightly reduced friction promotes smoother cutting. Depending on the direction and intensity of polishing, different effects are achieved - from a matte finish to an almost mirror-like finish. Satin is valued in both utility and collector's knives because it emphasizes the structure and quality of the steel while maintaining functionality.
