Review: Great Survival Knife, SHTF Knife, Camping Knife - (Look for update at the bottom) I first of all my knife came in the package dull! I mean so dull it struggled really hard to cut thin and thick paper. The edge it came with seemed really really small. But I will sharpen myself no big deal. The edge you get is the edge you put on it. But aside from that miniscule out of the box issue. Its a super duper strong knife! I went straight for batoning a really hard log wood. For hours. Held up like it was nothing. Even accidentally hit the knife on brick. No dents in the knife. This is exactly what I wanted. A super durable large blade that's not too large but plenty large enough to get any bush crafting/survival task youd throw at it. I wanted a knife that could potentially save my life and if I had to depend on this knife for the remainder of my life I would be happy and confident to live off this knife. One other caveat I found was that the other ontario ranger rd-6 knives has a silver logo vs the gold one on mine and even some others didn't have one at all. So, idk what that means. Definitely did concern me. But one thing I know, is it is strong. (Update):it's 2022 and I've used this knife extensively. The knife has held up really well. I have made modifications. I sanded down the handle so it's smaller and firs in my hand better. Best decision ever. I also cut the top and bottom edges off the sheath and burned the edges so it doesnt fray, makes it a better sheath and a bit more compact. The knife is Sooo strong. I have used this knife in so much batoning and feather sticking. I sharpen all my knives and have sharpened this knife with the lanky sharpening system and also wet stones and electric Sharpener and grinders. And this knife works well being sharpened in all those methods. Also keeps its edge pretty well. I'm satisfied with this knife. And after taking it through much abuse I am confident this knife will last the rest of my life. The more I use it the more I realize YES this is a good knife. Remember people. The sharpness of the knife is the edge you put it on it. The factory doesn't make it an obligation to make it razor sharp. The quality of the knife is not based on the edge that comes from the factory Because if you actually use your knives you're going to HAVE to sharpen it yourself anyway. Unless it's just a toy for you. Learn to sharpen your knives. Having the knife is only have the process. You must know how to hone your own blades. I updated some pictures. The knife has paint that's wore off but that's only natural when you baton all the time.
Review: If I could only grab one knife in a survival scenario, this would be it. - Ordered this knife almost a year ago but held off on a review until I had a chance to really use the knife. This review reflects my opinions AFTER any initial thoughts I had about it. First, though, the specs: SPECIFICATIONS Overall Length: 11.625" Blade Length: 6.625" Cutting Edge: 5.625" Blade Width: 1.625" Blade Thickness: 0.25" Blade Material: 5160 Hardness: 53-55 RC Blade Style: Clip Point Blade Grind: Flat Finish: Black Edge Type: Plain Handle Length: 5.00" Handle Width: 1.50" Handle Thickness: 0.80" Handle Material: Black Micarta Weight: 1 lb. 0.06 oz. Sheath: Nylon Knife Type: Fixed Blade Brand: Ontario Knife Company Model: RD-6 Model Number: 8675 Country of Origin: USA Best Use:Tactical First the good. This is a HEAVY knife, so if weight is an issue for ultralight camping/hiking, this probably isn't going to appeal to you. But the knife is heavy for a reason--it's a TANK and looks bombproof. Full 1/4" thick steel stock in 5160 spring steel. This knife is about as tough as you can make a knife. Using it in a variety of camping and wilderness settings for a few months now, it's extremely robust and can handle just about any type of task it's applied to. I've cut through rope, nylon webbing, seatbelt material, industrial zip ties, flex cuffs, and even used it to process and prepare a rack of ribs for cooking. In all of these the blade cut effortlessly and took zero damage. For processing wood, it's much better than it would seem. The full flat grind makes it great for slicing and cutting and shaved paper-thin curls off hardwood with ease the same way a Japanese woodworkers chisel would. When building a mesquite fire for some ribs (mesquite being one of the densest and hardest woods in North America) the knife was able to cut some birch bark thin slices of mesquite off a very hard seasoned log like a hand joiner. The weight itself is very beneficial for chopping, and it chopped through a 3-inch thick log of mesquite in a handful of strokes. The point is very nicely tapered and the spine remains thick all the way to the point, preserving piercing capability AND tip strength. The Micarta looks very very well finished, smooth with a bit of texture and very solid feeling. Fit and finish is almost perfect. The balance, also, is great for this knife. It's actually very handle heavy but on a knife this heavy it makes it feel somewhat lighter, since the center of gravity isn't on the blade itself. The edge was originally very sharp, but after reprofiling it and sharpening it to scary levels, the edge seems to have stayed just as sharp after a few months. I've only had to strop it periodically to revive the edge. The not-so-great. As I sad before, it's a heavy knife. Really heavy. It's heavier than even the Becker BK-2 which is another knife people often say is very heavy for a belt knife. I personally don't mind, but if you're not wearing a sturdy belt or carrying it on something like a pistol/cartridge belt, it does weigh your pants down. I use a riggers belt so it's not an issue for me. The only other thing I'd find might need improvement is the blockiness of the handle scales. It's a very blocky handle and while the shape of the handle is great, it's a very two-dimensional shape and the corners aren't rounded nearly enough. Being as thick as it is, it just makes if feel that much blockier. Overall, it's a great knife, truly more suited for tactical use (it's great for breaching and entry) but the blade geometry also makes it an awesome survival knife overall. Great value for the price and I ended up buying a second one to keep in my vehicle.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice knife, a few flaws - but fixable
*by 3***S on May 26, 2018*

I ordered this knife as an all around knife for use in a bug-out bag. It is a beast - 1/4” spine makes for one hunk of steel and it has a decent factory edge (I personally will be sharpening it a bit more). I would have no issues trusting the durability of this knife for chopping and batoning. On to the not so great: the sheath sucks - just a nylon sheath with plastic insert. Nicer custom leather or kydex sheaths are easily found. Another issue: I did not care for the handle geometry at all - the overall shape is okay, but way too blocky on the edges, so much so as to cause pain when chopping or gripping firmly. It can be fixed fairly easily if you have a Dremel and can use it with a fair amount of skill. Using a rough sanding drum on the dremel, the micarta handle scales easily sanded down and are now much more comfortable. Overall, I’d recommend the knife for someone looking for a fixed blade that can take a beating, and who doesn’t mind a little work to make it comfortable.
