Big Ontario Knives SP53, SP10, and SP5 vs. Pallet

[@cbr600rrturbo]

Ontario makes some great stuff,thanks for the vid playboy!

[@paultorgerson8776]

Thank You for your enthusiasm in all your great videos.

[@tjn2254]

Go with the raider Bowie people. You won't regret it.

[@_Tang0_]

TJ N just bought 1. Cant wait to get it. Im gonna use it to sharpen my lumber pencils at work

[@ethanallen7030]

TJ N my raider didn't survive 3 whacks on a dead pine tree the handle snapped

[@ramtrucks721]

Wrong.. heavy as hell. Nobody listen to this dipshit

[@SmellNRoses]

I love Ontario Knives, great blades at very reasonable prices. I own a SP46 and absolutely love it, but would like to add a larger blade to my kit...I'm actually looking at the SP50 for heavy duty backcountry wood processing. This was a great video and I enjoyed watching!

[@1crimm]

Great work dude

[@Airik1111bibles]

I find your reviews strangely pleasing and oddly satisfying ;) I watch with a grin like the Grinch ....Oh I need a big blade for ChristmasLOL Hey brother you should let people know that there is a huge difference between those pallets that have blue paint on them and the plain ones....them blue ones are built to last companies for many years unlike the crappy thin basic pallets.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

+Airik1111 Yeah, I have encountered many different pallets over the years of my wars on pallets. The blue ones are particularly fierce opponents, I use a couple of them as the base for my throwing knife stand.

[@swapnesh4u]

Nice!!!! Atlast the SP10 Marine Raider. Thanks much.

[@Chumgeyser]

Nice chopping demo and commentary. I just have the SP50 but it is a very nice blade. Looks wise though, that Marine Raider wins. I'm waiting for Ontario to make a new Marine Raider in there 5160... at about double the size of this one :)

[@MichiganWoodlandWarrior]

Informative Video. I have the SP8 and SP10 but that SP53 looks and performs great for chopping.

[@Snake_808.]

Nice vid, I have the raider. I got some o-rings put them in the handle makes a sweet grip. I find it helps a-lot for chopping. Thanks -peace.

[@allanh3865]

I was thinking about doing the same thing to mine, and so good to know it worked out well for someone else. 👍

[@paultorgerson8776]

I can't believe that the sp53 is only up to $70. It seems to be an affordable hatchet knife for those who want to avoid over/understrike while gaining de-limbing/brush clearing ability. It has prying and some digging ability as well. I chopped a small rock in half with minimal edge damage. Regarding it not being full width, full tang. I got mine for $60 each. I would've bought it sans handle.

[@donjuanmckenzie4897]

Can't believe they discontinued it

[@jorgefernandez6407]

DAMN!!! Just got the SP6. The Marine Raider's next. The other 2? Who the hell am I kidding, I like them ALL...

[@parkercrone8743]

R u rich??? How can u afford all of this stuff from $300 blades to $10 blades is it the KZbin money that you get???

[@pigsticker5764]

Always good stuff ,I bought a new machete today and maybe I might test it like you do.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Cool, I'll be watching.

[@rickyfargason8859]

I have both the SP53 and SP10. Great choppers!!

[@StevanOutdoor]

I altered my SP5 bcs I have no use for the clip point wich makes it even more leightweight and still a very good chopper/large batonknife. I just love the knife. Not saying anything about these other two bcs I do not own them or have used them but the SP5 is all I need in a big blade.

[@ArcticGator]

what sort of alterations did you make?

[@phyllipgillespie6649]

Thank you once agian I was just looking at getting a new knife right in this size/dollar range.

[@heebs72gb]

AWSOME video ! I have been checking out the Raider ! Hope you make a full review on it . Wicked looking knife!

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Thanks!

[@dicksonanthony1]

I just ordered mine. Finally! Bowie Power!

[@patrickloveless6211]

alright so I'm 17 I live in West Virginia an I test my knives hard. I've put all three of those knives in metal doors(I'm 6'7 an beefy so I got some power) an I bent the metal door, dropped from a 5 story High window an absolutely nothing. I can afford say a busse tglb any day of the week but it's a better feeling knowing you can buy 3 of those for that price an have it able to be a workhorse

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Sounds like you had fun testing them!

[@El.Ponchos.Gaming]

Good video. I have the sp8, its a good chopper too. Ontario knives are great

[@concernedaussie1330]

Nice work mate .

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Thanks!

[@johnmutton799]

The grind on the marine raider is terrible! The clip is crap.

[@gwailotus9219]

+ANYONE or WeAllJuggleKnives - 1) Is the hilt (hand guard) on the SP10 metal? 2) What is the SP10 blade thickness? do u mind measuring it yourself please? (several online knife co's say different specs for this and ontario website doesn't even state the thickness) grrrrr 3) Anyone have problems with mosquito repellent dissolving the kraton handles on the SP10? *wish more of the ontario knives had a full metal guard/hilt

[@paulie4x1]

the designer of the SP-53 calls it the calls"sharp Hammer, I have a hard time choosing which knife to take out with my BK-2, the SP-51, or the SP-53, now there's a new kid(s) in town, it would be nice to have a face off between the 53,51, and the ka-bar Zomsyro, abduction swabbie, please think about it. Thanx Israel.

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Is, I think for the size, my O. K. C. Gen2 SP-53 will stand up to a E-Nap pound for pound. It's still one of my Fav's Chopper's for the $$$, only comparable to some of my Busse Combat large Battle Mistress and my large Nuclear Meltdown Fussion Steel Heart, etc. But they aren't cheap. So yeah for the $$$ it's still one of my Fav's that so far no other can match. Infact I teamed mine with my Ranger T. F. I. also a 1/4" of 5160 and a 5 1/4 blade, that holds a pretty good edge retention. Yeah, when I bought my Ranger T. F. I. they use to Temper them at 58 HRC. But because some chipped, they lowered it to 54 HRC. still holding a decent edge retention. I love mine at 58 HRC. because I was aware of chipping on that 5160 steel. Anyhow, it's still one of my Fav's. Combo's for cold weather trips. I just got my new Ka-Bar ZK Pestilence Chopper's, Infact I put some Brown Handles from one of my Johnson Adventure Parangatang's, Yeah, I like to color match my knives. Anyhow I took it out and teamed it with my vintage Blind Horse Bushcrafter with a flatter polished natural micarta handle which is a tough knife to match with a Larger Knife, It was for me because alot of my knives have black handles. I did the color changes for both the Pestilence Chopper and my Parangatang, Yup, The Handles interchange. I don't like that Pea Green Handles, they look like a Fantasy Toy for a knife, Yeah, My ZK Swabbie, and ZK Zomstro both have the black handle's. Infact, I seen a ZK Swabbie and ZK Zomstro on sale along with some other's. Infact I paid $80.00 for both of my ZK Pestilence Chopper's including shipping. I don't know how long the sale will last. But as of the beginning of October, 2017 they were on sale. There is no way will the ZK Pestilence Chopper out chop my SP-53, but it's just what the Doctor ordered, heh heh heh taking both out on my Afternoon Delight, Yup a hot cup of Coffee A La Mors, eveporated milk with a little honey and Paul'ies A La Chicken and Dumplings, Hmmmmmm mmmmmm good, Oh, Yeah, and a couple of good cigars (Los Blanco's) I also love my vintage Gerber Multi Tool that I like using to open can's, and with a Awl, with caution I untangle paracord, and use it to take hot pot's off the fire. Since a Soldier's life was saved when a bullet richocheteed off his Gerber Multi Tool, I became a Gerber Guy (Gerber Multi Tool). So, Yeah, call Kristi at Ka-Bar, She's quite a Gal. Tell me which one you bought Ok. Dilly, Dilly.,,.p

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Is, Yup, I still love my O. K. C. Gen2 SP-53 as one of my Fav's Choppers for tge $$$. Infact I still team my Ranger T. F. I. (Tactical Force Infidel) with my SP-53. a Awesome Combo. Yup, it's that time of year to bring this combo out to process firewood with them. Although I could baton with both of them, I still like using my Ranger T. F. I. to make kindling with it. Infact early on in Fall Weather all I do is add a Saw and that's it. Great Review Thanx You, Is.,,. p

[@jasonsadliberty1503]

That SP-10 is a MONSTER! These are ALL BADASS knives,. & I wouldn't turn ANY of them down... essentially though...the SP-5 is honestly all you need

[@thenrylee]

So was this chop-off traditional rules? (Just some obscure humor from Fallon's drum-off with Will Ferrell and Chad Smith. Well worth watching if you haven't seen it.)

[@donjuanmckenzie4897]

Looks like the sp-5 has the best penetration

[@BB-pi7mt]

could all my fellow knife lovers help me out I am looking in to making my own knives from kits and was wondering if any one could recommend a good starting bench belt sander that also has a disk. this will be my first time doing anything like this so I only need some thing that can handle bone, metal, wood and synthetics. some thing that's in $150 range if it goes a little over that's fine. thanks

[@paulie4x1]

Great video Israel, is this the O.K.C. Chopper vedio, you know the O.K.C. is one of my Fav's Choppers, I love it, it make short work of processing wood.

[@Winston_Smith_84]

You know, I have several pallets just sitting in my basement right now accomplishing nothing. And yes....I am watching this video.....AGAIN.

[@bigpoppapump4060]

Love big blades

[@leonardoalmeida5345]

Uau é um machado

[@KBar666]

I'd love to see fuller reviews on the SP-10 and SP-5....more so the Raider though. Or at least just a more specific look at it. Yes, I know what its for. but still. lol. Badass blade.

[@tangsoodoarnis4life]

I have been looking at these knives for a while now I think I will get them in the future and I like how reasonably priced they are as well, nice review bro, send some of the rain out my way we need it lol.

[@ricev7071]

Actually, the SP-10 is not 1095 but 1075. Go to their website and you will see for yourself. I was going to buy the SP-10 till I found that out, I bought the SP-5 instead and never looked back. The SP5 is the king of Ontario knives, and the toughest. I am very happy I bought the SP-5. Too bad they lowered the quality of steel for the SP-10.

[@glbwoodsbum2567]

Up until recently the SP-10 was made with 1095 Steel.

[@ramtrucks721]

Ontario Raider is way too heavy

[@charlesgawain3610]

The Marine Raider Bowie is the best knife I've ever owned, as a US Marine infantry Sgt. and a Game Ranger in South Africa after my service.

[@charlesgawain3610]

Yep, TJ N, you're a good man with a horse. I'm the same--a good horse, a good knife, a good wife, and a good life. :) That damn Raider Bowie does everything in one. Ha! Every US Marine Raider should keep this by their side.

[@GrottoGroveGroves]

Charles, love the knife. not a huge fan of the sheath though. mines done. having one made to my specs. cant complain to much though. cause this sheath has lasted damn near a decade now.

[@treybailey886]

Can u sharpen the sp53 on a flat stone it looks like u can with just a slight recurve

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Yes indeed

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah, That Marine Raider has competition, Becker came out with the BK-20 and it's looking good.

[@Octagonalish]

On the topic of large blades, though only vaguely related, have you ever looked at any of the Silky blades? It would be cool to see a review of their natas.

[@brnobre4301]

Diferenciadas

[@kasquaskannachehukapapansk9857]

For a knife fight do not go where guns are. But that SP5 or SP53 looks righteous to do cut f'n up.

[@jeffclark7685]

All deserving of the Christmas list ! I did not know Ontario used that high of a Carbon content but have long known of they're quality.

[@arnoldscottniernberger5139]

US ARMY. I HAVE ALL 3. N. ALL 3 ARE. OUTSTANDING. HOOAH

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Excellent, my dad was also in US Army. I saw some KZbin videos saying the drill instructors are not allowed to be mean anymore ...

[@brnobre4301]

👍

[@JeepJeep234]

Lol every bowie knife I have ever picked up without a cross guard felt kind of awkward, almost like a naked feeling. Kind of wish the sp5 had that nice big guard like the sp10, I would probably buy it in a heart beat if it did. I finally pulled the trigger on the sp10, it hits a little harder than my Junglas but even after re-profiling and sharpening the edge on the sp10 it does not sink as deep as the Junglas. I think it has something to do with the Junglas being a nearly flat grind.

[@sergeantdef.3572]

Then you would feel yourself very naked in the times that Jim Bowie was alive.. Cross guards on the Bowie knife started around the civil war.. In orgine the Bowie did not had a Cross guard..and when they getted the Cross guard the most People cutted it off.. But i understand what you mean..ounce i had the same feeling..

[@michiganedge4770]

Great video! I am in between the sp5 and the marine bowie. Think I like the classic look of the marine Bowie. But I also like the flat grind of the sp5. Damn it have to get both now!

[@ArcticGator]

Michigan edge I use the sp5 like a short machete, it's light and fast and great on thin green stuff and small saplings, it chops pretty decently too with that flat grind it bites deeper than my kabar kukri but the kukri being much heavier and having the kukri shape chops better despite having the weird grind on it, i have wanted the marine raider for awhile now as well.

[@michiganedge4770]

Arctic Gator that's cool bro! I have the marine raider now. Got to do a review on it soon. Love the classic lines of it! Sp5 will be next on the list!

[@ArcticGator]

they just brought back the sp5, that says something about how good a knife it is! (i'm in Michigan too)

[@michiganedge4770]

Arctic Gator cool what part of Michigan?

[@ArcticGator]

Southeast Michigan, westland.

[@REAPERMILITIAOUTDOORS]

Man this is a great detailed review brother awesome video all three are going on the list lol

[@GrottoGroveGroves]

I have the first two knifes you tested. they are heavy duty work knifes that I have used for years now. well worth the money.

[@isaacarnold4635]

Rezin Bowie would definitely approve of that Marine Raider.

[@ahmedhussein4675]

sir how are you doing thank you for all the grate videos i need u help with some thing if you to go to iraq with the army what big knife will have im thinking of takeing colsteel MAA Messer One Handed Sword or butrefly sword and what combat knife also you think is good

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

I would check out the Ka-bar Becker BK-7, BK-5, ESEE 5, ESEE 6, Ontario SP1, SP6, SP43, or SP10.

[@простослухаю]

i really love the way how the knives looks like and seem so very ergonomic, and the black metal i always seeing on my knives, they seem like a stone or something? they dont get curved but shattered yes

[@Icypotato]

Damn that SP10 is a beast! Looks bad ass.

[@zunedog31]

That looks really fun to chop through.

[@mayson1014]

Would you recommend the marine raider Bowie or the Condor mini duku?

[@Winston_Smith_84]

This is epic KZbin chopping greatness! America!

[@jorgekd66]

me gustan los tres pero el SP 10 tiene un protector metalico mas confialble que los otros dos, ahora si todos fueran hechos en acero 5160 como el SP 53 y tuvieran ese protector metalico entre el mango y la hoja serian cuchillos interminables y confiables para mi gusto.

[@GrottoGroveGroves]

George. read your post I've been spelling cuchillo wrong. feeling stupid. but hey, not my first language.

[@raycontego3276]

SP53 or the Tops power eagle? And which HT do you think is better?

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

The Power Eagle is noticeably longer so I'd go with that if you want to go up to that length.

[@DShiflet01]

I've got the SP10 and a few other in the SP line, but I still need the SP5 and SP53, eventually I wanna get the whole SP lineup.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

A worthy quest, for sure!

[@DShiflet01]

Indeed. Still got a ways to go though, so far I just have the 10, 15, 24, 43, and 45, but it's a start!

[@wolf-qq8nl]

Ontario sp53 Is full Tang?

[@Braeserker]

I wish someone would test the Zombietools weapons.

[@firefightin6]

I always love watching your videos! Always will!

[@krs120]

It look to me the greater was chopping better to me the other to looked like they didn't bit in to the wood as deep or easy

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

kyle schalk True, I should have mentioned that the Raider and SP5 had brand new edges, whereas the other blade is one I've been using for a while so the edge was a bit beat up, I've since re-sharpened it.

[@BeenieBomb]

Great chopping! Very impressive.

[@capcon6]

Nice presentation brother. I got the SP10. Very good chopper. U gotta like that point though.

[@capcon6]

Are the other two at a 1/4 inch thick?

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

capcon6 Yes they are

[@ArcticGator]

I have the sp5, it chops almost as well as my kabar kukri machete, and is a lot faster in the hand, it's also less clunky tp pack into the woods, it's a shame that ontario discontinued that model.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Arctic Gator They've brought it back for this year!

[@ArcticGator]

do you know if the sheath is different? i would really like to get a better sheath

[@johnwalters7415]

How do you sharpen the 53

[@hardedgecustom]

Review the damn steel eagle already!

[@phrankus2009]

SP8

[@PowerMadHeadBanger]

This Bowie is one of the manliest knives I ever saw.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

It is, it must be dual-wielded on a mountaintop with shirt off

[@rollinlikeariver7756]

Which one is best overall?

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

My favorite is the SP53 because it is the strongest and hits the hardest. It is heavy though.

[@Bandit032X]

I bought Ontario SP-10. Man this is awesome!

[@ramtrucks721]

Too heavy

[@robertmotte1688]

grow stronger

[@0oJoe]

:D

[@iHateAshleyGraham]

So did you notice a difference in performance between the full flat grind blades and the saber grind of the bowie? When you used them on the log did one of them have more trouble in concerns to removing the blade from the wood? i only ask because ive never trying chopping with a saber style blade.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

The flat grind SP5 sinks in deeper, but can also get stuck easier, whereas the other two tend to chop bigger chunks out of the target and split it better.
