    Best Ontario fixed blade 0 people found this helpful

    Overall Rating

    For the 60 dollars or so, it's an amazing knife. The full tang makes it strong and rigid, with an ergonomic G10 handle that is secure. It doesn't have that typical ugly factory "OK" branded on it like many fixed blade knives. It comes with a kydex "rat trap" sheath that has two vertical ridges for additional retention. A thick butter-soft steel gives it that sought-after soft flexibility, allowing it to be used in many ways (it can be punctured, struck, chopped through, etc.). The only con that i have with this knife is the sheath- that thick ridged piece of plastic really takes away from the looks of the blade. I'm not a fan of plastic in knife sheaths, but this isn't as bad as others.

    A Little Small, Good Functional Blade 0 people found this helpful

    Overall Rating

    This 7-inch blade with a plastic grip and molded plastic sheath with belt loops was purchased as part of a backpack camping/emergency supply kit, and for my truck's car emergency kit. The sheath is durable, has good holding and retention of the knife, and allows use with or without a glove. It does not provide for good ventilation of the knife blade or retention if the knife is not held properly, though, as the dorsal sheath part could fall off. That may have happened during initial packaging and shipping. For the intended use, however, this knife should serve well. The blade seems very strong, made from quality steel. After testing for sharpness, the edge is easy to keep sharp, though will dull fast when in use. This makes it good for an emergency, or if used primarily for lighter tasks, but will be hard to maintain for tasks requiring heavy use.

    Great but expensive and odd. 0 people found this helpful

    Overall Rating

    I purchased this knife for several reasons. The major reason was that, although I have many expensive survival knives, and some less expensive ones, I have never seen this one, even in the 25 years I have been into knives. I really wanted to see what all the hubub was about. The knife is good quality. I don't see any quality problems. However, the design does not work for me. The design reminds me of a child playing with their blocks and getting their shapes and designs right or wrong. The saw back reminds me of Scooby Doo's bowtie on steroids, as the saw does not line up properly with the blade's tip, even on a brand new knife. It is hard to explain, but see the photo. The sheath is also made in India, and I have a problem with that. I think Indian leather is too soft, which allows it to fray and warp more easily. I would prefer an American made leather sheath. This does not necessarily make the knife worthless, just harder to find a good one for it. The good things about the knife, aside from the historical aspect of it being the Army's blade for decades are the feel of the knife in the hand, the retention of an edge, and the feel of the pommel on the end of the handle, although some people do not like the way it feels on the palm of the hand when they grip the knife. The blade was sharpened well enough, with no irregularities or marks in the grind. But this particular knife has such a thick grind that, while it makes the knife tough, I find it difficult to sharpen to its full capability. I am not too sure about the coating on the pommel. It looks like some sort of hard plastic. The markings and lettering on the knife's edge is poorly applied, and a pain to read, as one can see in the photo. But all in all, it is an interesting, tough and useful knife, just with an odd look and design.

    He was excited to get this! 0 people found this helpful

    Overall Rating

    I ordered one for my husband and he absolutely loves it! We went camping a few weeks after he got it and we were telling him how nice it is. It's a knife he'll keep forever. I'm sure he'll be getting one for me soon! It's exactly what we wanted and then some. He's been looking for a knife to buy for awhile now and we were a little nervous because we didn't know what kind of a product we were going to get. When we got it and he used it, we were amazed at how good it is. It's the perfect addition to our little camping trips! Thank you to the vendor for being so amazing and quick at sending it out! We really appreciate it!
