Ohhh hell yeah, I love my SP10 I LIVE 15MINS FROM THE Ontario knife factory and I have one of the original raider Bowie knives in 5160, freakin tank and it does it all!!!
Thanks for the great video. I love the SP10! I think OKC adds the extra retention strap to their SP sheaths to make them jump qualified. In order for an airborne soldier to jump with a knife, the knife's sheath needs to have at least two retention straps.
I think Ontario Knife does not get enough love in the knife community as I really dig em so nice to see you review one....I EDC a Rat 2 which I love and also own a Rat 3, Rat 5, and Rtak II....I think the Rat 5 is just an awesome working knife....Nice work on that Raider as I might have to put that on my list....Good info and review....Good stuff....
@@DonnieBAllDay Yea, their sheaths and blade coatings need some improvement for sure....The Rat 7 is a big working knife and that is not good as hopefully mine keep performing well as thanks for the info....
I have a rat 5 which I got really cheap years ago. I've abused the crap out of that knife, I wood craft so I used the knife for everything. I 've hammered it into steel sheet, cut industrial staples, used it as a chisel to split 6 inch diameter wood. What's impressive is the black coating, its held up incredibly well. Mine is a newer model, perhaps they improved the coating. The steel tempering is amazing.
Donnie B All Day I think it’s in sale at Midway for 39.99 right now. I’m wanting the SP46 too. It’s a little higher on sale there too but on back order. I’m not wanting them for anything really but to play with lol.. I’m not like some crazy woman running around with knives strapped all over me. Not Ramboette or anything 😅
I loved the SP10 but I couldn't help but modify it. I've got the SP6 fighting knife which I love so I decided to make it a big brother blade. I chopped off the hump on its spine, sharpened about half of it, lowered the tip, stripped the finish and thinned out the edge. I'm still working on polishing it and after that I'm going to either give it a striped patina or blue it, haven't made up my mind on it yet. It's a lot lighter now and makes crazy deep cuts even being lighter. Ontario makes some great gear. They remind me a lot of Cold Steel when I comes high value, low cost blades.
@@DonnieBAllDay I'm actually working on a couple of big ones. One out of O1 and another out of 1075. I'm going to have to replace some equipment before I can finish them though. I just like modifying blades made out of decent materials and making them better. My SP10 can penetrate way better now and is a little faster. It actually chops and cuts a lot better now too despite having lost some weight. 😃
Additionally on my sheath I ditched the shoelace leg tie and replaced it with paracord in a cobra knot braid, which if you consider by the time that goes around your thigh that is a fair amount of paracord you have at your disposal. Cobra braid has about a 13:1 capacity
Digging the channel man. Just a heads up. The case bowie sheath is cheap on ebay and fits that bowie. I had one rehandled and stripped and used that case sheath. Looked traditional then and was a workhorse. The sp 53 is my alltime favorite chopper. Keep up the great work. Check out my old vids you may dig em. Not shooting anymore but in the woods all the time. Cowboy c bop lead me here. 105th like
I’ve had mine for about 15 years. The swedge sharpens up quite nicely. The older sheath on mine is a leather/nylon dangler. It is to date, my favorite go to knife for everything I do in the woods. I’ve batoned with it and cleaned fish, rabbits and squirrels. I’m always looking for the knife to beat it and still have not. Rock on bro !🇺🇸
I love it. If I had to take one over it though.. The Esee Junglas without question. A bit of a difference in price though making this guy one of the best dollar for dollar blades on the planet.
Very good knives. I used my Sp-10 up in Canada and love it. They have that 1095 heat treated right. It stays sharp and is tough. Only thing I don't like is the crap sheath and the coating wears off quick. Previous sheath they made is more appealing.
Regardless, they are still good knives. And most of the places you can pick one up still advertise them as 1095 unless they are selling old stock. Mine is 1095.
Hey brother love your videos and you may already know this but just thought I'd point out that the strap closest to handguard swivels from left to right
@@DonnieBAllDay Well my lovey dovey got me the sp10 for xmas and I must say, damn it's a big beast tank of a knife. You really can't tell from pics and vids on the net..and holy crap is it heavy. It has great grip and the blade-heavy balance makes it a really excellent chopper. It's my daily now. I found strapping it to my bag was really fatiguing on a 12 mile hike, but when it was strapped to my belt, i never noticed it. Also, i think i figured out why OKC uses two buckle straps to hold the knife in the sheath. You see, the second time I used it, I put the knife away in the trunk of my jeep with just the one snap buckle that goes over the guard. When i got home and took it out of the jeep, the blade actually fell out of the sheath and landed on the ground in my parking spot! I was like "nooooooo". no damage, just some coating off the tip thank the lord..but now i think both snap buckles are required to fully secure the blade in the sheath due to it's weight..i also noticed the snap buckles are not that strong...Either way, love the knife and it was your review that made me choose it as my daily. Thanks Donnie! Love your channel, love your content. You're funny as hell when reviewing too LOL keep up the good work!

Hi DBad, Yeah, you can tell the edge is shave sharp by the sound : I heard pretty clear the "hrrrsssshhh , hrrrsshhh" sound when you tested it on your arm 😊 So, forget about Gilette 😆😆😆

"It's half the calories now!" Hahah... Man, do I enjoy your videos. And actually this knife seems like a good option I found some good price on Amazon maybe I'll grab it. I'm between this and the Ka Bar Potbelly. Do you have a best recommended among those two?
Hi, Donnie, if you were to do a comparison between SP 10 and Junglas regarding heat treatment what is in your opinion better made? And how about the toughness? I have had the Junglas but gifted it to a friend. It's an excellent knife with an extremely well done heat treatment, but the lack of guard just didn't do it for me plus I prefer sharpened clip point blades. How about the kraton, it is durable, especially in the pommel area? It's been a while since I am eyeballing it and was about to click the add to cart button, but I just want another opinion. Stay sharp, brother. Best regards from France.
You can't beat the Esee heat treat and temperament. I believe that the Junglas is unmatched. I recently did a video comparing large camp knives and it's easy to see why the Junglas takes it. Overall fit-n-finish, the heat treat, the materials, the shape.. Everything about makes for the ultimate user in camp/survival blades. It doesn't hurt also to have the best warranty in the business.
@@DonnieBAllDay I know very well what the Junglas is capable of as I stated in my first comment, my question is what do you think about the SP 10 heat treatment, it will withstand lateral stress if needed?
@@gunner3548 Ok, I see what you're asking. Yes. The Raider is a serious and very capable blade. You are bound to take a chip with the OKC before you would the Esee, but you'd have to earn that chip. It's a VERY well made blade.
@@DonnieBAllDay thank you for your fast response, brother, I do not abuse my knives, but I want to know if they will handle it if the situation arises. Stay sharp.
It's a military blade so it needs the extra retention. Soldiers are going to be jumping out of helicopters, trucks, airplanes, jumping onto the ground under enemy fire, crawling on the ground, bashing into things, etc. The knife has to stay put or it is a major safety hazard. Especially a blade as large and heavy as this. Regards, John, US Army veteran
It's a copy. Regs say for jumping(parachutes), you must have the second closure, but these haven't been issued knives in a lot of years. Nostalgia is one thing, but practicality is another. From one vet to another, thank you for your service
According to Tooj over on blade forums they switched from 1095 to 1075 because Dan Maragni figured that 1075 would make for a tougher knife with less chance to chip. Oh forgot to say Tooj is the head of marketing for Ontario.
These sheaths are annoying to me because Ontario throws every knife into the same one. My sp5 could be in a much much smaller sheath taking up way less space in a pack. I might make my own kydex cause there are no aftermarket sheaths worth buying for these bigger ones.
That strap is riveted in and allows it to be moved to the other side for right handed carry, have 5 Ontario knives / machetes, all the same ugly but functional sheath design.
Moving it to the right side doesn't hold the Falcon, RD-6, RAT-7, SP-8 at all, the SP-53 gets some retention but can still be pulled out, moving it to the right just keeps itfrom getting cut up by the blade. I cut that strap off the Falcon sheath all it did was get in the way
@@DonnieBAllDay I would have to work a bunch of over time to afford one so I've settled for a Ridge Runner Renegade Bowie but that's okay I'm very happy with it. I just had to sharpen it.
@@DonnieBAllDay Sorry Bro, couldn't resist. Love the SP-10. Only thing that bugs me is they updated the sheath but they changed the steel from 1095 to 1075. Penny pinchers.
@@DonnieBAllDay The grip is a little odd, but there is a lot of real-estate for large paw'ed humans and it isn't slippery like those plastic Becker grips. The SP-10 would be a good candidate for a custom handle job though! I've seen some pics of the tang and it would be doable.
A leather sheath retains moisture which will rust blade, a kydex will not. In a bad fall this blade will penetrate the leather sheath, NOT in a kydex sheath. Ontario knife company knows what they are doing.
Not really. This blade is coated for rust prevention. You always clean your knife after use and it your sheath gets wet, just like kydex, you let it dry. Kydex dulls the edge going in and out of the sheath, leather doesn't and in order for the blade to bite through the sheath, it needs improper seating. Maybe if they knew this, they'd still be in business
Look at my avatar, it's an Ontario raider bowie with the coating removed in a LEATHER SHEATH, and it still has no rust. It's almost like you need to know how to take care of blades to take care of them..... who knew.
Ohhh hell yeah, I love my SP10 I LIVE 15MINS FROM THE Ontario knife factory and I have one of the original raider Bowie knives in 5160, freakin tank and it does it all!!!
Another great video! Just picked one up last week along with the SP-53. Loving them both! OKC is quickly becoming one of my favorite knife companies.
I have a Buch of their stuff and while they can have their flaws, flaws are extremely minimal for the prices.
I have this knife. One of my favorite knives. It just makes me smile to pick it up.😁

@@DonnieBAllDay Sorry Bro, couldn't resist. Love the SP-10. Only thing that bugs me is they updated the sheath but they changed the steel from 1095 to 1075. Penny pinchers.
@@ZombieOrchestra im no fan of the grip
@@DonnieBAllDay The grip is a little odd, but there is a lot of real-estate for large paw'ed humans and it isn't slippery like those plastic Becker grips. The SP-10 would be a good candidate for a custom handle job though! I've seen some pics of the tang and it would be doable.
@@ZombieOrchestra it can definitely be made better
A leather sheath retains moisture which will rust blade, a kydex will not. In a bad fall this blade will penetrate the leather sheath, NOT in a kydex sheath. Ontario knife company knows what they are doing.
Not really. This blade is coated for rust prevention. You always clean your knife after use and it your sheath gets wet, just like kydex, you let it dry. Kydex dulls the edge going in and out of the sheath, leather doesn't and in order for the blade to bite through the sheath, it needs improper seating. Maybe if they knew this, they'd still be in business
Look at my avatar, it's an Ontario raider bowie with the coating removed in a LEATHER SHEATH, and it still has no rust. It's almost like you need to know how to take care of blades to take care of them..... who knew.
@@twistedmetal4897 I store all of my dbad blades in their leather sheaths and theyre 5160 and 52100. All doing great
"Vanilla Ice"..talking about knives!!!😆😆😆😆😆

Buoy knife? Must be for boaters
Haha! The Bowies themselves pronounced their name boo-wee. I'm not calling them liars.
3.5 mins of complaining about the sheath
maybe there should be a better sheath
The new sheath keeps me from buying.ome
they don't usually make the best choices in sheaths
