I have an SP1 from 1994 and I have used it to do just about everything.

Tactical Trevor Philips has convinced me to buy this knife. Honestly I thought the tip would bend or break during testing but it held up well!

that standing lateral test was gold dude. that's how every survival knife should be tested

We're going to read about this guy in the news paper one of these days lol.

I don't know about your other subscribers but I appreciate the great sacrifice you are making in taking time out of what I can only assume is your very busy schedule of competing in Jack Elam look alike contests to present your highly entertaining and extremely useful videos. I own several Ontario SP knives and was pleased to see the SP1 hold up as well as it did.

This is the knife I carry when going through heavily wooded areas or through hunting grounds. Oftentimes there are really tall weeds and other brush that grow there and I like to use this knife as a tool to clear a path as I make my way through. If I’ve killed an animal, I could dress it pretty easily with this knife. The handle feels amazing and it has a crap ton of stabbing power so it would be a really effective combat knife. If I was carrying a knife in a combat zone, I’d most likely choose this one along with a smaller and sharper neck knife for other purposes. Smaller knives can still mess someone up and they can also serve better as a better cutting and slicing tool than a thicker knife like the SP-1. I’d keep the smaller one just as sharp if not sharper though. I’d likely want a more high quality steel for the neck knife that would work against corrosion if it’s being used more. It should be easy to sharpen as well but it should stay razor sharp for at least a few days of use, and I’d like it if they used the same steel that mora uses for the robust.

Wow that's a beauty...now I have to show it to my son...the last time I showed him a video of yours ...he bought me it for Christmas...the glock knife

thanx again mayor . ide forgotten the ontario stick tangs in those rubber handles loosend up til seeing this . i had one brand new years ago that loosend just from slashing it around quickly without touching anything . they can keep it . i'll stick with my cold steel leatherneck in its excellent securex sheath . sits right next to my coldsteel large voyager which is a great rock solid folder . ive not liked every cs ive bought , but these 2 mentioned knives i give 5 stars to both .

I have been using this knife a lot on canoe trips and doing and teaching survival. It is true that the handle can come loose from the tang with hard use but solved that by filling the inside with super glue. I also did some mods to the blade, handle and sheath. making it a bit more useful for batoning and finer work chocking your hand up to the blade and it will do these tasks and stays sharp. If it gets dull it is also very easy to re-sharpen in the field.

I've been searching for these "X-Ray" photos that everyone talks about showing how the tang on the OKC SP-1 is wider than the KA-BAR's, I couldn't find anything and I'd actually like to see the tang before buying the knife, does anyone know where I can find'em?

Good review. Now I know what to expect out of my SP-2.

This video is exactly what I was looking for

I have one of this, 8 years still working as new. I convexed the edge and is way better now. I paid $19 bucks 8 years ago on ebay (I dont like very much the sheath, but is not bad at all). Also now, almost 2018 is still really good knife option for the price.

I think you made a very good commercial for OKC!

This is an awesome knife... purchased it based on your review... Love it !

Knife lives up to its name,,,,Combat 4 Sure,,,,Nice Demo Mayor,,,and as always if they pass or fail,,,Great Testing

Thanks my friend. Your methods may be unorthodox, but I have to admit when it comes to knives, you know how to separate the men from the boys ! :)

great review! thanks

Ure tests are the best. Damn good throws

Thanks for the great review, got mine last week, came out of box dull as hell, spent hours to sharpen it, do others have the same or do they come sharpened from factory?
