Ontario SP2 Air Force Survival Knife - Tan Kraton Handle

Great overall knife. Sharpens nicely and stays sharp a good amount of time. Holds a good edge and doesn't require lots of force. Overall great knife for what it is. The sheath is a tad on the cheap side, with only a few ways to attach it to your gear, but overall the blade and the sheath hold up well to heavy use. Definitely a great product from a great company for a good price. If it was any better, I would probably not be able to get this out of the sheath in time to defend myself from any potential threat! :D If your on the cusp about buying this or not. DONT. Go for it. It will pay for itself the first time you get it out in the field. You wont be disappointed. If you dont like the fact that the scabbard it comes with has plastic clips, look into other options. Also, be prepared to put the blade on and off a lot.

I’ve used the OKC Sp-2 knife and others for almost 40 years as part of a utility tool, 1st responder pack, and emergency car/truck kit. So I was very happy to find the Ontario SP-2 survival version. While I was apprehensive at first due to lack of a thumb notch in the tang for right handed blade guards, the edge is good, fit and finish are very nice, grip is comfortable, blade geometry and balance feel great, blade stock (no need to reg “countersink” the hole) was appropriate, and it actually looks sharp (a quality I find often lacking in survival knives)…I was immediately put it through its paces chopping through pine 2x with just my arm weight. While that’s not a standard of utility for this tool it was certainly reassuring that it’s capable. This SP-2 “survival” version will definitely make a place in my survival kit. Overall great product.

It has a little wobble but I like the size. Not sure about the shipping and craftmanship as I just received mine, and have had no other experiences with it. The blade is great and the fit of the sheath was decent, just not great.

Came quick. Came sharp. Just like you had in basic. Going to be fun taking this to campouts. Well worth the 30 bucks.

This a heavy piece. Strong feel, the cross hilt, handle. Knife feels solid, even the little rivets and metal pieces in sheath make this piece heavy. Its more than a tool for throwing knives (a skill I practice), or camp chopping. I think of a bowie style knife that could serve as self defense, camp chopping, wood gathering, and yes even small hunting if the situation arises (I hunt but mainly meat). Its not a machete. My favorite knife in the closet is a Cold Steel, Ka-Bar knife from there old CPM blade. I would love if they put a bigger size bladed blade like that in a large sp-2 sheath with double clip. My fear is that this baby will stay in the garage, because its TO BIG for hiking. Maybe just an occasional "wear and carry" as the piece is so nice. Great craftsmanship, worth every penny and more. Its heavy. So handle accordingly. Nice Job Oklahoma Joe Custom Sheath company !

Well built, does not feel cheap. Very nice knife.

Well Packaged & Shipped. As Described. Well Worth The Price Paid. My First Choice for A Survival Knife. High Quality

Knife was sharp out of the box and came packaged well. The sheath has plenty of padding and is comfortable to wear for an extended period of time.

The first impressions of this thing were nothing short of awe-inspiring. The knife has the perfect weight and size to handle the job. Its thickness makes me a believer that this will last me for a long time to come. The sheath looks great and works well. This is an extremely well built and very useful knife that will definitely be added to my backpack. As for my first impressions on the knife's sharpness, let's just say it arrived very sharp. I'm sure it will stay that way too. This knife will easily cut through paper, wood and bone. I think that for the first week I had it, I used it to clean out my basement with little to no problem at all. This is a fantastic tool that is an absolute must for any camper or survivalist.

Excellent out standing value in a working Bowie style Knife ! Out standing workmanship. Came sharp as a razor ! A well designed no frills rugged Bowie . A lot of us grew up learning how to do basic first aid out in the woods with these as our emergency Knife’s when all we had was no cell no evac . Nothing fancy just an excellent field workman / survival utility/ fighting tool / self protection ! A few hundredths on a perfect bevel ,a short an hour working up an edge with medium weight stone like Whet sta on an eggshell / medium coarser stone on lighter pressures to take an inch to an inch and a half. Very pleased with knife . Don’t plan on reenlisting in US ARMY , Marine Corps etc. as a dumb SOLDIER / NAVY / MARINES ,AF etc. Dumb uniforms . You pay for Dumb Insignia ! ( US ARMY RECRUIT / RESERVE CALL TO ARMS BILL / WOMAN’S CALL TO ARMS RECRUITMENTS ( Women you are only recruit right to vote plus after two years ( at all ) when this useless, extremely dangerous bill , program to call dumb boys to military useless service over / around women , dumb poor to pay and still useless /waste money military program is out the woods, Then dumb military can use women’s REAL ESTATE money for cheap real estate deals ( US DEPT OF DEFENSE . Women just join you don’t have enough smart women ) dumb “WOMEN” , are called out for dumb training , dumb / USELESS duties and endure useless tests , Used by men in super all powered positions that never come close to all women who would make super smart husbands. “In summary the real deal . OKC are extremely experienced design and machine men , makers , finishers that come from excellent design houses , original designers and or the guys who got stuff out of US ARMY INCUBATORS / FABRICATIONS , AND IN SOME CASES HAD INDIVIDUAL TALENT THAT

It was just my size and fit. A 7 inch fixed blade, straight edged knife, at a price of less than $25, that could withstand a heavy beating. It's 1095 carbon steel with no hardening treatments and would therefore dull with some use, especially sharpening it. However, Ontario knives usually come sharp out of the box and that would not likely happen with a lot of knives. 1095 is an excellent choice of steel for a straight edged survival/field knife. In my opinion it has more spring in it and the balance of a blade when sharpened to an effective blade sharpener makes it a great tool for general cutting and batoning and some wood working as well. I'm using it as my main survival/camping knife and I couldn't be happier. Ontario knives also seem to be built well. This would be an excellent choice of knife for a backpacker, bug out bag, prepper, survival kit, camping, or general cutting tool, especially when matched with some other high performance steel like Bohemia's CRKT steel, which is available in the right sizes and the two knives are really great together. I would definitely buy this again. I might buy another one for backup or I might get one of Ontario's less expensive hunting knives, the On The Track or Frontier for my prepper bag, camping knife and bug out bag. This is not my last Ontario knife. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a rugged and well made knife for an economical price and for a heavy-duty, hard cutting use, especially camping, out in the woods, prepping, and as part of a bug out bag. It comes dull but the sharpness is restored easily with the use of a diamond file on the edge, which does no harm at all to the blade and restores a really good cutting ability. After you've done that, just follow the directions on your file and sharpen with the grain of the steel and keep doing it until you have a really

Great product

I love this knife! The sheath is great and the blade is very sharp.

I've been carrying this knife on my belt every day since it arrived. It's not as sharp as I would like but I can fix that easily enough. The sheath is well made and holds the knife securely in place without any trouble.

I bought this knife to replace my 1970's era Ka-Bar knife which was getting too dull and rusted from years of use in the woods. This knife is very well made, and has a great feel to it. The blade is razor sharp right out of the box. The sheath is not as good as some others, but will do fine until I can find something better.

This is my second SP-2. I have used it as a hiking and camping knife for over two years now. It has held up well to the abuse of being in my pack every day. The sheath is not great but does its job.

<span>I have collected knives before and can tell you this is the best value I have found on Amazon. The steel, weight, balance, are nearly as nice as my Blackjack which cost considerably more. The finish is also excellent and the blade comes sharp. This makes the perfect survival or camping knife. The case is nylon and some of the black dye in it has leeched onto the handle with minor staining that can probably be cleaned up. Would have preferred a leather case however.</span>
