I'm friends with the manager of a local Big 5 Sporting Goods store here in NorCal, and he showed me a bunch of these from their stock when they first came into the country. (2008 or 2009? I can't remember.)
Most had issues: uneven grinds, gaps between scales & bolsters, one had a scale shield glued in upside down, several had minor bladeplay, one had no factory edges... there were other issues too. But, for the price point, they were still selling pretty steadily.
Fast forward to last summer, when I looked at some of Schrade's patterns again, and all had great fit & finish, nice even blade grinds, were sharp, and had solid, tight joints. Very close in build quality to the former domestically produced knives. Material quality I can't comment on.
I have a couple from group buys and trades, but I haven't put them into the rotation yet. Maybe I should start.
