I just got my OKC 125th Anniversary Collectors Edition RTAKII. I couldn't find a regular RTAKII anywhere else locally but came across this one so I had to have it. Man, does that knife sing! It also came pretty sharp out the box. I've been using it for the last couple of days since I got it. I'm not the type to let a knife sit in a drawer just to collect and look at, I use all of my knives and on a daily basis. I love my RTAKII even though I paid $265 Canadian for it brand new, It has cut through branches like butter and has a very lethal bite. I love it! My RTAKII came with a black leather sheath, not that big green sheath for the 125 Anniversary RTAKII, which is even better.

@@WildBlueYonderDay I stripped the coating on mine and stopped at the line where it says RTAKII-OKC. That way the knife still has a protective coating underneath the scales to prevent rust if water happened to penetrate under the scales. I love my knife and I also took it to another level and put a very sharp edge on it as well. I'm definitely going to get a kydex sheath made for it. I've been using it everyday, it's relaxing for me to be able to go out back and do some bushcraft. It was sharp when I first got it, now I can literally shave with it.

Very cool mod! I’m inspired to try something similar. The SRK is one of my favorites. I’ve had 3 or 4 of them since the early 1990s. Never broken or lost one. Always gave them away to someone who needed a good knife. As a matter of fact, just gave away my last one to a younger guy on my recent trip to ZA. I’m pondering whether I should replace it with an SRK or SRK-C. I do still have a Recon Tanto with a similar Secure-Ex sheath. My wife is a weaver in a factory that makes webbing for the military. We’ve always got some scraps lying around.

I have the SP51 and specifically got it because of the saber grind. Probably the best chopper I have. I got the BK9 but after realizing that it has weak skeletonized handles, I replaced it with the 1/4" 5160 RD9 with non-skeletonized handles. I also put the contoured TKC orange G10 handle scales on it So the SP51 and RD9 are my go to backpack blades. The reason I liked Ontario so much is because they are affordable and I got the RD6, RD7 and RD9 for the price of a custom.

Also got the beast RD6, RD7, RD9 and RD Tanto because of the 5160. I wish I would have gotten the SP19 and SP10 back then. The SP51 and RD9 are supreme choppers. The SP6-94 and SP6-95 are supreme stabbers. The SP43 and SP46 are nice slicers. The more I handle the SP46 Boar Skinner, the more I like that big belly.

Brilliant! Your video popped up on my feed and it reassured what I’m doing on my old Parabody equipment will work with your pulley system. I was able to fasten the eye bolts (replacing frame bolts) to the outside of my frame at the top and bottom. This will allow the 3 pulleys to be used as a functional trainer at the top and bottom of the frame. I have selectorized weight stack and now I can utilize it with a lot more exercises, I literally saved thousands with this fix. Thank you!

@@jimbusmaximus4624 with the screw heads being different sizes, it stands to reason that the threaded bush that goes through the tang is going to be narrower, so the bushes from the Esee would be loose in the Rat tang and the Rat bushes wont fit the Esee tang holes. The scales themselves may work? however the holes on the RAT scales may be a little large and deep, having had larger screws used on them, but check it out and let us know how it goes.
