It’s been a while since I reviewed a cheap automatic, so when online knife retailer Grindworx
offered to send me something cheap and not legal in most states of course I said uhh
ok.
That would of course be the Schrade SC90BS pocket knife with push button mall ninja action.
With pocket clip.
But before we take a look at closer look at this beauty rocking Aus-8 let’s look at
the dimensions…
Like the overall length and weight.
I know I had you at Aus-8.
Blade size and cutting edge.
Kinda has a Benchmade Rift err look.
But with jimping and handle angles.
Handle size grip area.
It’s Schrades attempt at brutalism.
Spine Thickness Handle thickness.
Maybe German Expressionism.
Are we at tallness yet.
It’s been a while since I did a short knife review.
The Schrade SC90BS features a partially serrated blade in a clip point, reverse tanto, drop
point, whatever the hell style blade.
Half serrated of course being the mullet of knife edges.
I respect the intelligence of the viewer enough to decide which is the business and which
is the party side.
The blade is of course made from the finest of Aus-8 steels and ground in the hollow style.
If partially serrated is the mullet of knife edges then aus-8 is probably the camero of
blade steels.
You remember how you felt about 80s cameros in the 90s- like that.
Of course all that these hyperbolic metaphors mean is that you might have to sharpen it
more.
Not that anyone owns knives long enough to sharpen any more.
The blade is an ok side, and one of 3 blades I own that’s partially serrated.
Lockeup and deployment is handled by a button.
It locks up every time.
It’s a medium press… and almost like a two stager button… but more like a 1 and
a half.
It would be a great knife for small children because it’s fairly easy to deploy.
Ok that was a joke.
It’s ok though this channel will never get popular enough for it to be a problem.
Umm… let’s put it on my pocket and punch it half a dozen times and see if I can get
it to deploy.
Let’s start with some bumps, simulating maybe butts in the club or something.
Ok cool.
Ok let’s simulate like you have touched someones butt in a club.
Let’s punch it.
Yep so far so good.
You’re only problem will be the charge for carrying a switchblade and maybe an assault
charge or two.
The handle.
The handle is milled or cut or chiseled out of aluminum, which means its lightweight and
fairly rigid.
No real hotspots except maybe the clip in a hard use tactical strip mall setting.
The anodized aluminum is lightly textured like soft serve from the food court.
The handle grip area is a little over three and a half inches, so it fits my hand pretty
well.
On the back is the tactical glass breaker that you loosen to swap the pocket clip to
the right or left side in a tip up configuration only.
The deep carry pocket clip holds pretty tight to the pocket on your finely crafted polyester
work pants- and if you care about pocket wear on your finely crafted polyester work pants,
not to worry you didn’t have to buy it anyway.
Comparisons.
Let’s see automatics.
I have this Ganzo one.
It’s cool.
I did this review a long time ago now.
If you’ve been watching the channel this long, than actually you’re not a real person.
I think about the only dude been watching that long that I regularly see comment is
pieman.
I think he goes by Richard something now.
Sorry the Ganzo.
Did I say it’s cool.
You hit a button on the side and it opens.
How about another partially serrated knife- the Kershaw link.
I deassited this one, and didn’t feel like putting it back together.
That’s a cool knife too.
The plastic box it’s been sitting in for 3 years also likes it.
Oh yeah I could I forget the Z Hunter.
You know in my knife nuts podcast platinum creator series episode I called this a Zombie
Tool.
I really shouldn’t have a Youtube channel.
You know what I take that back- I have the prefect amount of talent for Youtube.
Thanks to mysterious benefactor Nick Shabazz for donating this gem to the channel- stay
tuned for a special episode.
Are we done?
What else do we need.
A cardboard segment.
We’ll do that then baton.
Partially serrated knives exist for a reason.
People buy them right?
They have to because Grindworxs looks like they’re sold out of this knife right now.
There are two types of people in this world the partially serrated people and then other
people.
I know people drink Bud Light and Mikes Hard Lemonade because I see the cans in my ditch,
and then I run over them with my lawnmower.
The secret to a weedy sorta green lawn is just run over everything.
That’s a life hack.
There’s actually nothing really wrong with this knife.
I guess blade centering is slightly off.
The lockup is strong and it locks every time, mostly because it’s not called a Kershaw
Launch.
