Pros & Cons
Pros
Upgrade the sheath. Sheath is well thought out with both molle and belt attachments. Only down side is the coating prevents using the spine to throw a good spark off a ferro rod.
This knife is incredible. Great knife for the price. Highly recommended. Bought after watching creek stewart in fat guys in the woods series.
Stainless steel is a good comprise between durability and hardness. Provides a fair amount of rust resistance. Fits my big hand very comfortably and doesn't want to twist when chopping.
Blade has a nice dull sheen that i really like. Sharpens well. For kitchen chores, cutting rope, butchering, feather sticks.
A good hard use knife based on horace kepharts design. Nice spear point for detailed work. Full flat grind for excellent performance for moderate camp tasks.
Cons
Very unimpressive. Cant even cut cardboard as well as a small cheap folder. Turns out this blade is made of some very weak metal.
Highlights
Quality
This is a good quality knife in the 100 range
Ive been practicing survival skills in the backyard with the kids
The build quality is decent nothing more
First off i own several other ontario knives and love the quality and affordability you get from them
Price
All in all a very good knife at a very good price
Packaging/appearance
The knife arrived on time and was pretty sharp right out of the box
After opening the boxit was love at first sight
Bought the black version because i like the black gray scales and black sheath spent an hour or so stripping of the black blade coating
It is a full thickness tang knife the whole way through the micarta handles
Competitiveness
I just bought a kydex one for it and its everything i wanted
I have since ordered a custom leathercraft sheath and will keep the original one as a backup
Yes the stainless blade stripped of coating will make sparks from a firestick
Im not going to spend more than the cost of this knife for a custom

The micarta is a little roughly finished not nearly as nice as say the micarta on an esee or blind horse knife

There were grind marks on the blade and sharpness was reasonable but not great

Upgrade to a leather sheath preferably one with room for a sharpening stonemagnesium firestarter
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Its a versatile design but not a tough enough steel or assembly to back it up
