Very solid knife, basically already a machete ;) For me it's too big, but someone bigger than me will be very happy with it. It was a shame, but I swapped it for something smaller ;)
Solid and powerful Leroy SCHF45 knife, produced by Schrade, features a full tang construction and a Bowie, style blade with a thickness of 4.75 mm. The blade is made from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel and coated with a titanium layer, which protects against corrosion, reflections, and facilitates cleaning.
The appropriately contoured shape of the lower part of the handle and the thumb serration on the top part of the blade prevent the hand from slipping onto the edge. The handle with a non-slip texture is made from durable thermoplastic rubber TPE, and at the end of the grip, there is a hole for a lanyard.
Included is a rigid sheath, made of nylon with fiberglass blend, that has a mount for attachment to a belt up to 5 cm wide.

Solid large knife. Chops very well and fits nicely in the hand. The handle is rubberized, so vibrations from chopping don’t transfer to your hand. Good knife. I generally recommend the Schrade brand. Budget knives, but quite decent quality.

I'll say this: for this price, it's amazing. Great, sharp, big Bowie knife, very heavy. The only downside is it doesn't have a guard to look like a true classic. Much better than the Old Timer, which I also have. Overall 8/10, I'm very happy with the purchase, and it comes with a great sheath, looks solid, and I recommend it to anyone who, like me, likes huge knives. I'll just say my Cold Steel Ti Lite 6 looks like a toy next to it.

I bought it a few days ago, so far I'm satisfied. It works well for clearing the plot, suitable as a multifunctional camp knife. With prolonged use, the handle becomes a bit uncomfortable. Nevertheless, I recommend it — a chunk of steel, good processing and finish.

Great knife, large in size, strong, handy, works well for all survival expeditions.
-
Great knife, big but handy, fits well in the hand.
-
Really big knife, massive and handy, great hard sheath, a bit heavy.
-
A chunk of good steel. A convincing argument in your hand.
-
Massive knife, commands respect so to speak, leans more towards a machete but I'm satisfied.
-
Massive and sharp Bowie, made of quite durable stainless steel with very comfortable handle scales.
-
A chunk of steel, more for chopping than cutting, but it works for both. Comfortable handle. I recommend it.
-
Massive and sharp as a razor.

This knife is fantastic. Big, with a wide blade, kind of like the knife from Rambo III. A small machete. I wouldn’t recommend it for this, because it’s not what the knife is meant for, but it splits wood perfectly. Factory sharp to the point of cutting ribbons from paper and shaving hair off arms. No need to sharpen it further. I recommend it.

There is strength, there is power... this is not a knife's scrap, it's a cross between a machete and a hatchet, because it works quite well in both roles. For building shelter, bigger cuts, chopping, and it can even make a hole in the ice; for hunting mammoths and scaring household members :) Sharp, solid sheath. It’s got some weight, and you better take that into account when buying. A real beast, but if someone wants a knife that’s not afraid of hard work and can withstand almost anything, this will be a good choice. Good handle. Very OK.

Very nice knife, heavy, with a concave grind blade; mine does not have a lanyard hole in the integral guard (contrary to the photo). Difficult to sharpen by hand due to the concave grind. Blade angles are best for chopping. Factory sharp, but requires further sharpening. The false (upper) edge is dull. The knife sits well in the sheath, but with a very strong thrust could slip out because it's unsecured. Steel is good. Handle is fine. You can feel the blade with your eyes closed. Balance is correct.
