Had this knife for years and used it and abused it. Never had a problem with the handle moving. I have heard some others have had this problem but, not mine. It’s still going strong 💪👍
Its a lot easier if you have a belt grinder and a lot faster also. So doing on stones does take a fair bit of time to change the edge but, its worth it i think personally.
Great Video , you can't beat the real life footage of actually using a knife out in the woods , I hate table top videos. Ive been thinking about buying the SP53 for years , I think Im finally going to pull the trigger , I have a few OKC Knives and I love them All , the Bank for Buck is practically UNBEATABLE , were else can you get a Choppa like that for $50 (on Amazon) , keep up the Great Work , you just got a New Subscriber.... 👍 🖖
Another great video thanks. I watch a lot of knife reviews but not many are as thorough as yours! I’d like to see you put an esse jungles through it’s paces?
@@easygoingoutdoorse.g.o7342 I keep thinking or one, if one came out of your abusive treatment unscathed ( what these knifes should be built for) it would make my mind up.
@@davelynoutdoors6654 Once you know what you want from your knife and how you will use it, this should make your selection a lot easier and not to forget the big one. Your budget. If you are going to be hard on your blades, hopefully some of my videos can help you out with your decision.
@@easygoingoutdoorse.g.o7342 True,true the pry bar stuff you cant do with a thiner blade.I woud like to see you doing more axe work.Belive me its adiction when you do it right!
Safety. Large blades with lanyards in them have a tendency to swing around and hit you on the body when attached by a lanyard if the come flying out your hands when doing prolonged chopping tasks hence no lanyards
@@easygoingoutdoorse.g.o7342 I'm not being funny but I haven't experienced that at all. How the lanyard is attached is crucial in my humble opinion. The risk...in my experience is glancing. If your lanyard is spot on there is little risk.

@@easygoingoutdoorse.g.o7342 My girlfriend likes to carve frozen meat for dinner :) :) Thank god, I got herself a stainless mora and now she leaves my kitchen knives alone. I have never thought that Mora can take so much punishment. After all frozen meat carving, it still shaves! Incredible!
As the saying goes you only get what you pay for. Don’t get me wrong the SP53 is in my top 10 of all time and for the money you pay for them who can complain
@@easygoingoutdoorse.g.o7342 Their 5160 carbon steel is really super efficient (to me better than esee 1095 and bark river's cpm3v) with that blade shape and thickness make it a near perfect camp and survival knife. I would like so much that it is completely full tang and especially that Ontario corrects this problem of handle which moves after a certain time of use ...
With respect.... You don't need origin knives.... This one has stood the test of time..... Origin knives look awesome....I get it....but must be a bastard to sharpen.....!!
I can definitely tell this is the tool for you. I'd like to have one too. Thanks for sharing brother
Cheers m8 👍

I managed to convex my Ontario RD Tanto. Took a bit of effort but it now cuts much much better. Thanks for giving me the idea.

How do you sharpen the recurve ?
Handy sharp - ceramic rod and a leather strop
@@easygoingoutdoorse.g.o7342
Thanks
Why don't you use a lanyard ?
If you dont mind me asking ?

Not in my experience. I have seen two marines stick a mod golock through the top of their thighs and another through his forearm and elbow

I grew up on a farm used almost every sharpened tool you can imagine...
Still got all my limbs....
I should get one of these for my girlfriend to use in the kitchen. So she stops using my kitchen knives for frozen meat chopping :) :) :)
PMSL, never tried frozen meat with it yet lol.

Sp 53. Or origin....?
Origin 🔪
@@easygoingoutdoorse.g.o7342
I wonder why.....

This is a super excellent knife, but the problem is the handle..
Yep I hear what you are saying. I have just learnt to live with it as it does most of what I need to do with the greatest of ease. It’s bomb proof

I feel the birds beak at the end of the handle could be slightly bigger as you can get some slippage when wearing gloves.
With respect....

Not at all m8. Very easy in fact
Speak up can't even hear you talk sound like your mumbling
Will do 🫡
