Ontario SP5: "Survive for Less" by Nutnfancy

Mojo indeed. This big 10" bladed Ontario Spec Plus Model 5 (SP) shows great promise for your wilderness and defensive needs. Forget CQB, this is a "FQB" (Faraway Quarter Battle") knife; long enough for some stand off capability and high levels of intimidation (and capability!). The long blade with its longer moment arm can produce high velocity cuts. But the SP5 will have equal or better prowess in the woods as a survival blade. It's 1/4" thick epoxy-coated, well-shaped Bowie style clip blade is made of flat ground (love that) 1095 steel and looks to be a good chopper, splitter, and all-around cutting tool. ). The 1095 steel will have to be cared for to prevent rust in high moisture climes but should offer good edge holding and toughness. Its Kraton polymer (called Gnvory®) handle is adequately long, not overly sticky, and will be comfortable during impact-inducing strikes. A deep bottom finger quillon should prevent forward hand slippage. The flat grind should baton well through wood well. The big blade is carried in another Cordura-leather design that seems tough and durable but lacks quick attachment capability (std for this price point). If all this sounds like a lot of knife it is but the amazing part is you can get the Ontario SP5, at least NOW, for under $50. This is the advantage of an overseas-produced knife that is the product of good quality control. The SP5 would be a suitable deployment blade for soldiers, adventurous civilians, or any Good Guy needing the impressive capabilities of BIG blade. Great value, seemingly great knife.
