Similar in form and function to Spyderco’s now discontinued Dyad Jr, this Schrade model provides the best of both worlds in terms of its capabilities. The plain edge works well for general cutting, piercing, and trimming chores, whilst the serrated blade really makes short work of tougher materials. The size is sensible and compact, the action is smooth and positive for both of the blades, and the ergonomics are, for me, comfortable in use. The non-reversible pocket clip does not really get in the way, and whilst the clip may not offer the lowest carry profile, it seems to be sturdy and effective. The honeycomb pattern of the scales ensures a good grip, even with wet hands. An oval thumb hole design gives good control when opening this pocket knife, with the obvious advantage of one-handed action. Very occasionally a Spyderco Dyad Jr may be offered by the manufacturer as a sprint run, that is, reissued in limited quantities. But the price will be several times more than this quietly capable model from Schrade. As it is a locking folder, mine stays at home, where it easily and eagerly copes with the usual household tasks. As a curio, this is an interesting concept and any collector would probably be happy to add it to their array. As a useful toolkit or workbench addition, the Schrade will no doubt fulfill its no frills function with happy aplomb. Am I glad that I bought it? Yes, if nothing else, for the novelty factor. It performs well, and the edges were free of burrs; even the more complex serrated edge, which is often not the case with a brand new pocket knife, especially at this modest price. A light strop instantly improved matters. Cardboard, smooth and with buffing compound, easily tickles a serrated blade to tip top shape, and spares your posh leather strop from wear and tear. On plain edges, this method is quick, and if burrs are present, it will quickly remove them and yield a nice fine edge, ideal for even precision tasks, like wood carving or leather work, for example. This model is a bit unusual, but certainly a worthwhile consideration. Well recommended. Dealing with HH was, as ever, a thoroughly pleasant experience. Cheers!
