http://www.amazon.com/Schrade-SCHF9-Ext ... rade+knifeSchrade SCHF9 Extreme Survival Knife. Drop point style blade made of 1095 high carbon steel. Full tang with TPE rubber scales and a lanyard hole. Comes with a ballistic nylon sheath with buckled outer pocket and nylon cord leg strap. Overall length: 12.10; Blade length: 6.40"; Blade steel: 1095 Steel; Handle material: TPE; Handle length: 5.70"; Weight: 15.9 ozs.
It actually appears to be of halfway decent construction. It comes with a decent looking ballistic nylon sheath. I gather it's made in Taiwan; I gather also that the real Schrade went out of business years ago.
How thick is the spine? Will it stand up to serious batoning?

I like the drywall hammer. Have to acquire one soon. Been redoing the house shouldn't be a problem next time I go.
