The Schrade Melee 3.5" Tanto Folding Knife is a purpose-built everyday carry blade for hunters, campers, outdoor workers, and anyone who needs a reliable cutter that keeps up with field use. Built in the USA, this folding knife pairs a D2 steel tanto blade with assisted opening technology and a robust handle designed to work hard and last. The partially serrated edge gives you versatility—smooth cutting for detail work and serrated sections for tougher materials—making it practical for the kind of mixed-use cutting you actually do in camp, on the trail, or around the homestead.
D2 steel strikes a practical balance for a working knife: it holds a respectable edge and resists corrosion better than plain carbon steel, without demanding the frequent sharpening some premium stainless blades need. The tanto profile—flat-sided and angular—excels at cutting, piercing, and controlled work, a design favored by serious knife users because it delivers performance across tasks.
The handle is where daily carry comfort lives. OD green G10 (a reinforced composite laminate) paired with stainless steel frame elements gives you a grip that's textured for security in wet or gloved hands, lightweight enough for all-day pocket carry, and durable enough to take a beating. The assisted opening mechanism deploys the blade smoothly when you need it ready fast. A frame lock secures the blade fully extended, so you can work without worrying about it folding mid-cut.
If you're building an EDC setup or adding a dependable folding knife to your outdoor kit, the Melee delivers practical design and proven materials without unnecessary complexity or premium pricing.

D2 is a tool steel that balances edge retention with relative ease of sharpening and corrosion resistance better than plain carbon. For a working knife that sees real use, it's a practical choice—it won't require constant stropping like premium stainless, but it holds up well to field use.
Yes. G10 is a reinforced composite laminate known for durability, lightweight construction, and reliable grip in wet or gloved conditions. The textured surface enhances control, and the stainless steel frame components resist corrosion and wear.
