Ontario makes a fine knife for a "field test"
Review by Keepshooting Customer
Verified Buyer
For those with less than adequate experience in evaluating a field knife for actual service - this "is" what it is designed to be - but - as with most field knives - will never be the "one" knife you will want to take into a BSEE survival situation - this is what Ontario (specifically US Otek in New York State) is aiming for with this fine knife. And to that aim, they hit the proverbial nail squarely on the head. Pro: A no nonsense military-style knife made to US GI military and Otek specifications (US standards), designed for just about any type of duty except those you might find in an Ike "all weather" coat pocket or pack pocket and made at reasonable (albeit "short of the substandard for production purposes") standards at Ontario. Con: Nothing to "see" here. Recommendations for additional items for purchase to be the same thing that might be purchased at just about any military or field supply outlet (such as Brownells or other similar online supply houses), such as a combat utility knife with gut hook - in fact this model of survival knife (while I'm not going to put this model through combat, per say) might make a better fighting knife (where it could serve dual duty as a weapon and utility knife for survival purposes) for those who find that fighting (or defending) from their vehicle (such as the front seat or back seat) a more practical idea than going into combat, unarmed, where possible (which should only be a last option). Summary - if I can get this in a better edge (dull is fine, and in keeping with the mission), and in less rust, as a gift for a family member in the field, with a better price, I'll do it again.
So long, ................

This thing is sturdy. The coating is kind of weak and will scratch easily. Overall, I'm satisfied with this purchase. Would buy again.

Awesome! Just like the original! Only 4 stars for a dumb reason. Why isn't the sheath made of the same leather as the blade handle. Its uncomfortable to wear with the nylon webbing sheath that it comes with.
Very Good

Great Knife
Review by Keepshooting Customer
Verified Buyer
This is a great knife and I'm very happy with it. It's a little dull out of the box but not too bad. The sheath is good but I would have liked to see a strap instead of the plastic insert. I will be buying another one soon!
Great knife

This is my second one of these knives and I love them both. The first was purchased new in 1986 and is still going strong after 30 years of hard use.
A great value

I have had several of these over the years and they are always good to go. They will take a beating and keep on cutting.
