I want to grind off that mid grip jimping and soften the thump ramp buuuut its a great blade for the dollars. I used wilson wrap on the handle until I grind it.

I would've split the difference and just bought Esse 4. The sheath is much nicer and handle. But the best thing is they really do stand by that warranty. Beat it to death, braek it when it gets too dull and just send it in for a brand new one. If you really want an Ontario go with the SP series. You might need to fix the factory edge bevel but theyre bulletproof.

Enjoyed. Review is total information. Yet I perplex on the color. First it looked like grey clay later after total setup it looks green with gray clay blend. Sure is a nice tent. Hope the bears didn't want to try your bed. So glad you are like the Yellowstone tourist who try to pet the cute cubs😊

Found mine on a dirt trail, must have bounced out of someone's weak factory sheath. Looks like it could stop a bullet, dig a hole, or prybar a door open as well. Rambo level survival knife.

Cool video. I think the big draw with Mora is the quality for the price. I got a stainless clipper for $10 CAD and you simply can't beat that quality for that price. I stay away from their more expensive stuff like the Garberg, bushcraft black, etc. Those are not worth the money IMO.
@lheastridge4 ай бұрын
Thanks! I agree about the cheaper line. The 511 was my second knife, and it is still going. I beat the crap out of that knife, but it never failed. I will eventually get a garberg, as I've noticed the price dropping some. I'll never buy the new full tang line, since the prices are just laughable. Thanks for watching!

I just got a Rat 7 and it was kinda shitty. I'm a machinist, though. Blade was straight, and heat treatment seems very good. I reprofiled the edge to 18-20 deg per side and honed/ stropped it. Sanded the scales to my liking, and now I love it.

Spend the extra money on Tops or Esee . I love Ontario blades and always expect that I might need to fix an edge when they come. They are fun to work on but if ya want better ya gotta pay for it. I bought knives in that price range for many years always wanting a Tops or Esee. Yet instead of just paying the price I'd never pull the lever and keep dreaming. Finally i just bought a Tops Brakimo and wish I had not wasted my money chasing the knives i really wanted. Its worth spending the money .... That said I still love buying lower cost knives and making them my own. Ontario was just bought by another U.S owned company . Seems their plant will be moved so hopefully good changes are coming ESP sheaths and quality control.

I just got a RAT 7 a month ago to replace my old one. I didn't notice right away but the grind is off. Not the edge, the actual grind, the geometry of the blade. I feel like I could have done a straighter job here with my own tools. I don't know what's going on over there but I'm extremely disappointed in Ontario. They used to be my favorite.

I bought a Rat5 because it was more knifey and less trying to be a hatchet. It's still way too thick for a knife. Esee knives are 1/4" thick, I chose this one because the spine was a thinner 3/16". 20/20 hindsight, I would have bought a 5" blade with a 1/8" spine. I have an Esee Xancudo which I love, but the blade is just a bit short.

Which one is the most comfortable? I have the BPS adventurer, i love it. I did wrap the handle in grip tape to make it more comfortable. I also did a bluing. Im really trying to find a bluing that makes the blade almost black. I just haven't found it yet. Funny how people push all these expensive knives an these Ukraine knives do everything i could ask. I gotta add in all my many years with knives. The BPS adventurer was the sharpest knife I've ever got.
