Thank you Thank you for labeling this knife for what it's intended purpose is.Three types of knifes.Bushcraft,survival and combat/fighting.I need me a GOOD combat/fighting knife.Thx's.
Freaking Awesome Review!!! Now I’m definitely inspired to go out and chop some stuff up haha . I’m a huge fan of Ontario Knife Company. I have like 9 ??? Seriously- Great Review !!!!
I have to be honest with ya Tac... I love your videos but I have one issue with them. I love them so much that once i see that you posted a new one, well i think about it until I've watched it haha. Keep up the great work!
I love all of ontarios spec plus stuff, that kraton is the best stuff for handles, especially larger knives made for chopping, it's one reason i love the kabar kukri machete, pretty much the same design, (same designer)
Gotta love Ontario. I think they give a great knife for the money. The sheaths sort of suck, but they basically do what they should. That blade is thinner than I thought, which I like that it is offered. The OKCs that I do have are nice, and a few are deceptively light in the hand.
Nice fighting knife! when are knife companies gonna learn that nylon sheaths can kick rocks!!! I bought a special order silent hero with smooth micarta handles from Tops and left some feedback explaining that they would sell more knives if they offereda kydex choice on all the knives. P.S still didn't stop me from buying my silent hero or sxb! ;)
Looks like a great knife. Ive always liked ontario; good products at a reasonable price. I have a spec plus dagger knife and a long machete that i ended up making into a short sword. Its freakin badass!
Liked the review, I don't know about the end of the handle "crow's beak" they call it , good for holding the knife one way , you're right Ontario makes some decent blades.
Could you please do a review of the CS(canal street) Green River Tactical knife? They are D2 steel with micarta grips. They are made at the old Schrade factory in Ellenville, New York. I am thinking about buying one.
Tramontina (I think that's how it's spelled.) Machetes come from Brazil and they're really good for a budget latin style machete. Around $20 for one and $10-$15 for a sheath because they don't come with one.
I love my SP 47 it's a beast that 5160 steel is fricken wicked tuff, also the coating really works good. Those sheaths suck but atleast yours fits, fricken Ontario gives you that sheath for every knife even my 5, inch sp47 now that's lame LOL. I scored mine for 39$ cause Ontario is discontinuing the saber grind version... don't know why. Great review as always brother.
Nice blade, sheath needs some serious love but that can always be fixed. Cool vid Tac, take care bro....oh one more thing, who's the hater for this vid? Always has be one I guess.
yeah dude i have the sp1 and she's tuff as hell, i broke a ka bar usmc in a week, and the sp1 keeps kicking ass, only complaint is thoes grooves in the handle can hurt a little doing stabbs aleast for me, but i know i can fix it with rubber O rings...when i get around to actually go get them that is, rock on Tac!
A knife like that really oughta have a false edge, in my personal opinion... What do you think the tip would be like if one were to modify it to be as such? Would it be too thin, do you think?
Looks really nice but that handle concerns me. I have a super cheap (10-20 on ebay) china made knife with virtually the same handle. So I don't know if i got a cheap blade with a good handle (feels a little sticky?) or if that's an expensive knife with a cheap handle. I do like the handle more or less though.
Blade is great, but that handle... reminds me of you know what ;) Still a great knife tho, but the sheath is little crappy. Great vid mang, keep 'em going :)
+ben terwellen ya it's a not so nice sheath but I'd call it passable. Not great, but good enough that if I wanted the knife, personally, I would still buy it.
Hi Tac im wanting some advice on blades, I need a roundish handle that can fill my hand's due to extensive damage to both my hand's and fingers, (fingers missing on both hands), I'm not looking for a fan boy of any knife maker, who will sing the praises of a knife maker, and you seem to fit the bill very well. Please can you suggest a knife maker that makes a roundish handle, that "you" would buy from. Im looking for a medium sized bushcraft knife, I'm prepared to spend unto $400, but I'm interested in all makes and price ranges. With all respect I don't want to buy some Chinese junk, for those who will be "Offended" since we live in an age where everyone is offended at everything,, my late wife was Chinese/Khmer, and when she came to the UK, she said the same about Chinese products. I don't like wood handles at all, as they are always subject to weather conditions, and in general in my mind "crap" Thanks for any reply.
Tac, before you do the "big chopper" test, make sure you get a Thai Enep (from Thailand)... they are fairly inexpensive on ebay, and they are built like tanks.
Ontario makes great knives, SHITTY SHEATHS. I don't get it. They could make a nice sheath for this knife far maybe another $5 at manufacturing. Maybe for $10 more they could make a Kydex sheath. These knives would sell a lot more if they came with a decent sheath. and you are right this is not a bushwackers knife, this is more of a fighting knife. That is why it has an upper and lower guard, which by the way would better if it was metal instead of rubber.
They put that guard on the whole SP gen 2 series even if it isn't a combat blade. My Sp47 is a five inch Boar style blade, I love it but I cut that flipping top guard off which made it feel way better. You are spot on, that guard cut off like butter. I used a razor knife and honestly just the pressure of the knife started cutting through it. I took my time and it turned out nice but no way would I trust it for combat. The grip is tough but for some reason the rubber gets softer for the guard, I assume for flex and comfort but that's not what a combat guard should be. My sp47 is awesome now without it, they should redesign the handles and definitely make better sheaths Kydex would be awesome;)
Thank you Thank you for labeling this knife for what it's intended purpose is.Three types of knifes.Bushcraft,survival and combat/fighting.I need me a GOOD combat/fighting knife.Thx's.
Some pretty impressive skills with the blade - Excellent!!
80 pops well spent. I like these "slicer" knives that can do harder work in a pinch just as much as I appreciate heavyweights like the SCHF43.
Freaking Awesome Review!!!
Now I’m definitely inspired to go out and chop some stuff up haha .
I’m a huge fan of Ontario Knife Company.
I have like 9 ???
Seriously- Great Review !!!!
Thanks man
nice work man! I like how you cut in (pun totally intended!) the freestyle. I like me some Ontario blades! beer! enough said.
I have to be honest with ya Tac... I love your videos but I have one issue with them. I love them so much that once i see that you posted a new one, well i think about it until I've watched it haha. Keep up the great work!

That blade stabs well and slices well, not made for splitting logs, its a fast blade. Good for cqc. Good review mate, keep it up!

+DannoCrutch its solid

Great video brother, and a great test as always.
+Tactical Patriot you rock
Honestly Tac, if I ever have a knife company I want you to design the best sheaths for them.
another great video tac, keep up the great work!
Ontario one of my fave knive companies. Btw Tac every think of going a Treeman Knives knife review? I love their D-guard stuff
So nice looking blade.
Was that gunshots on the background noise?
Yup
Could you please do a review of the CS(canal street) Green River Tactical knife? They are D2 steel with micarta grips. They are made at the old Schrade factory in Ellenville, New York. I am thinking about buying one.
I still want of those old fashioned Jason Vorhesse Machetes... Thick Latin machetes.
Tramontina (I think that's how it's spelled.) Machetes come from Brazil and they're really good for a budget latin style machete. Around $20 for one and $10-$15 for a sheath because they don't come with one.
Отличный нож , ничего лишнего !!!
Id like to get that Ontario freedom fighter looks like a sick blade
5160 is my fav steel so far....i have a parang an enep and an axe all amazing...aaaa yaa!
I love my SP 47 it's a beast that 5160 steel is fricken wicked tuff, also the coating really works good. Those sheaths suck but atleast yours fits, fricken Ontario gives you that sheath for every knife even my 5, inch sp47 now that's lame LOL.

I still can't get over the way that tops Armageddon crapped out .
Hey Tack. Great vid . Have you ever tested the Ontario SP 10 marine raider bowie ?
like to see u review the poshland knives reghk-99 damascus blade i love to hear ur thoughts on it
Awesome review on this blade!
nice knife brotha tac you should try the Ontario Rd tanto
I liked the coating on it. looked badass :)
It looks a lot like a bed liner for a pickup truck.
yeah dude i have the sp1 and she's tuff as hell, i broke a ka bar usmc in a week, and the sp1 keeps kicking ass, only complaint is thoes grooves in the handle can hurt a little doing stabbs aleast for me, but i know i can fix it with rubber O rings...when i get around to actually go get them that is, rock on Tac!
+southjerseybushcraft thanks mang
Could you possibly do a future video on the marine raider sp10
A knife like that really oughta have a false edge, in my personal opinion... What do you think the tip would be like if one were to modify it to be as such? Would it be too thin, do you think?

So I don't know if i got a cheap blade with a good handle (feels a little sticky?) or if that's an expensive knife with a cheap handle. I do like the handle more or less though.
I don't understand the concave part of the edge , means that you can't use a Flat stone , why , just why.
can you do a video on the ontario rd6???? there's not much on it...
Niiiice one bro! I think I am in love!
Got a question for ya Tac... will you ever do any reviews on LT Wright Knives? jw, i own a Gary Wines Bushcrafter and its a fucking beauty!

44magzilla!!!!

+Craig ActionJackson you have great taste
Semper Pararus Tac! -Corey @ PREPARED 2 THRIVE

Blade is great, but that handle... reminds me of you know what ;) Still a great knife tho, but the sheath is little crappy. Great vid mang, keep 'em going :)
TAC, Best value in the spec plus line would be?
Hell ya I would buy one but I already have 12 Ontario knives and need to buy them less for other great knives too like a second ZT muhuhahaha
+guncotton 1 lol
+Tactical it is a hell of a lot better than that retarded TOPS that you tested and this is way less money than that stupid thing
+Tactical dude I use sp51 as my major chopper love this looks like a great model little smaller
+stella carp You gotta try the SP53 too!
+stella carp I have a vid on that blade! Awesome knife

Tac good review, knife itself is alright, that sheath is not going to sell this knife.........
+ben terwellen true
+ben terwellen ya it's a not so nice sheath but I'd call it passable. Not great, but good enough that if I wanted the knife, personally, I would still buy it.

+Black Phoenix word, you are a man of wisdom :)

Great review man, hey is it full tang or rat tail
its not rat tail its just hidden but it is full tang
Tac, before you do the "big chopper" test, make sure you get a Thai Enep (from Thailand)... they are fairly inexpensive on ebay, and they are built like tanks.
+Roy Fernbach we shall see
My kind of a knife. ♥

+jared andrew I might have one..
I wud love to see a test on that knife I have contemplating getting one but I wud like to no if it is worth it
M 95 Peltonen brother ?
Good review test and vid...
do u know if the raider bowie is any good? I was considering it but it looked a bit rubbish
+Daniel Burley I think Ms Tac has one... ill check
+Tactical thanks, it's quite affordable compared to some things but I'd be scared I'd snap it. quite thin steel compared to the 1/4 inch I'm used to
Nice one tac.
Hey tac, how about that GSO 10 of yours?
+Ray Contego haha.. its comin playa
A big full flat grind knife! Nice.
it seams like its been a wail from your last combat/defensive blades
full tang?
Att least the sheat is thin,many sheats these days are too bulk.
Watching with my black M9.
Hell yes good video
What steel is better 1095 or 5160. Thanks
+Eldridge Young for me 5160, 1095 is sometimes brittle
+Tactical yeh 5160 better depending on where u get the knife...tops is amazing..buck is getting better as well
nice again tac:)
Coating looks rough enough to sharpen other blades.
ну кто так ножи проверяет...воткни его в дуб и встань на него, и попрыгай.и узнаешь, какая там "спринг стил" )
Sheath must just be for shipping lol.
I like lol
thumbs up dude..
Awesome knife wish hilt was
Solid
+John Wires ditto
Tops should take some notes.

+James McDonald playa
+1
Ahh Yeah on the 5160, Muhahaha...
