I've had this knife for 22 years and absolutely put it through unimaginable mistreatment. It is still my most favorite and 1st choice today. For all my adventures large and small. Absolutely reliable is an understatement.

You are bad ass bro. Best testing on KZfaq hands down and you test real knives that come from good tasteful selection. I wish more people watched your reviews because theres so many people who think cold steel is the only manufacturer that can do there silly tests. Keep it up man you kick ass!

Nothing like plain old high-carbon steel.

Newer models come with a false edge and different (better) sheath nowadays! The things I like about the knife is its versatility. Its good at both defensive use and outdoor chores alike in my experience. Especially with the recent upgrades.

That's one knife I hade my eye on.thanks for testing these knives for us and I like everything on these Videos.

I think you just made me decide what I will be picking up very soon. That test where you did the pull ups using the blade really showed just how durable and trustworthy the construction is. And for the price, it's a steal compared to what you see others asking for.

Thank you Mayor! Now I feel confident to purchase the Ontario SP6. And I like the "safety first" you often stress!

I saw The Rage come out when you stabbed that ammo box!

Excellent test sir, of a very fine fixed blade. I bought one of these a year ago and it serves me very well as a general purpose outdoor knife, for splitting up small firewood pieces, making tender, chopping branches and making trails. I use it in place of a machete or small hatchet and it works great. Plus i keep it sharp with a beefy edge and i trust it for animal defense when i cant have my Pistol with me.

That knife is tougher than I thought, I'm sure it will stab through the lungs & heart of a wild animal, but I still prefer the SP1.

is it safe/advisable to purchase this from amazon for the reduced price?

Hi there, very educational. Btw, have you tested the Muela Big Mountain?

Which is a more durable and robust knife . The bk7 or the sp6? If you had to choose one ?

nice!! trying to choose between this and the Ka-Bar 2-1212-3 Black Fighting Knife you tested!! great stuff as always.

Ordered one of these the other day, just waiting for it to turn up. Roll on camping season!

Thanks Mayor. I just ordered one after watching this video.

Thank you. Saw one yesterday.., wasn't sure about getting it.., now I know I have to.

Ontario knives rock. I have the SP-1. it kicks ass. they also make the Old Hickory butcher line. I've got the whole set.

Podría agregar algún vídeo con restauración luego de la destrucción para ver hasta qué punto se puede recuperar. Es importante para los que pensamos volver a casa y volver al campo con el mismo cuchillo. Excelente video.

nice test system you have , i really like the way that you step up the game in the same way every time you test a blade. Love your vids keep it coming

Thank you for your videos!

you worked that thing far more than I would ever dream of working my Ontario .

Good !! I'm glad you just did all the shit to yours that I don't want to test on my own!!!....have had this knife in a drawer for about I don't know 6-7 years now ?....figured it was pretty good just by my own analysis of it, but happening across this video and you testing it the way you did , simply confirmed my original impressions of it......great job..☑️

At firs ttc I thought your tests were rediculously unrealistic until you explained your reasoning! Now I'm super impressed with the knife I planned on buying next anyway! Thanks for sharing and I just sub'd!

finally a guy who really test knifes at extreme but realistic survival use of its. A lot of chinese knifes on market ,goods only for collections but not for real use in survival or extreme use, good job bro....

Ontario is cold steel killer. Truly tough knives. I am a Ontario Fan as you know.

I'm buying this thanks to your review. Thank you for the video.

Glad to see someone start to take NOSS's place. I will be interested to see your testing protocol develop. I would suggest you push the knife to actually break like NOSS. Let's see what these baby's can take! (the Busse NOSS test is legendary)

Great video. I used to have one of these knives and I loved the blade design but, the handle and tang were less than desirable. The tang is not very stout and mine broke on the tang near the pommel. The sheath is an absolute piece of garbage and that is an insult to garbage. I would like to have another provided the tang issue is addressed.

Thanks for doing your best in trying to destroy it 🤘 It's now on the Blazin'Blades bucket list 👍 Cheers BB

Thanks for all the video reviews I have really enjoyed them all

The only knife I can vouch for is the Ontario SP5-93 only because I purchased it in 1994 and used it for countless trips into the gnarly undergrowth forests mostly of Tennessee and Washington St. for hunting, hiking and metal detecting. Battoned with it, hacked thru serious small trees and vines and giant blackberry stalks and Scotch Broom. Meanwhile inadvertently smacking rocks and hidden metal fencing as I now use it for maintaining vegetation that grows around signal and electrical service cabinets working for the DOT alongside state routes. The undergrowth in WA State is giant due to the endless rain we have here for months on end. It can be jungle-like as it is a temperate rain forest scenario. So after lots of usage not a problem other than an ever so minute wiggle in the handle. But this is after frequent usage over 23 years and lots of chopping on small trees up to 2 inches in diameter to clear trails and make trails. The Handle goes all the way through to a lanyard hole so it is more than a rat-tail-tang. The ergonomics and balance is great and relatively light weight. Can't say enough how much I got my money's worth and enjoyed my knife pictured on my page. I don't do reviews so thank you Mayor Fuglycool for helping me to pull the trigger on this Ontario Sp6 with a similar handle but with an other-purpose blade shape. If the 1095 is as good on this one as it has been on mine then voila another great user knife that will last. This video helps. Mine holds an edge and it is not difficult to put another edge on it or to tune it up. I would love to see a lateral strength test by standing on the handle and doing a bounce test. Though your lateral test was interesting as well but the other way is more serious. Thanks

Again very useful review though I do miss the chicken assistants.

cool video reminds me of the cold steel demo. nice to see it in your back yard. I was thinking of this for Christmas, but this sealed the deal.

It's a fighting knife, not a chopper. Get a sp08.

And the Chanel is really solid, and deserves more attention.

why didn't you do the hammer the knife in, stand on it test? is the blade too long for that?

6 years later, and this videos are still awesome!

Brought this knife with me for years pig hunting in Honey Island swamp . Was chased by a pissed offed squirrel .

I've got this knife and four other fixed blades from Ontario. It's one of my favorite midsize blade. It's a toss up between it and my old Cold Steel Recon out of Carbon V. Both blades were made in the US and both are first rate tactical blades regardless of cost imo. The Recon is stronger but the SP6 has a reach advantage and a better grip. Ive got Cold Steels GI tanto as well which is also pretty awesome but the steel isn't as good as the others. Any of these blades are worth investing in if you want a solid tactical knife you can depend on. I like your tests. They really show the blades capabilities past anything most people will have to do with a knife.

you tested it , I saw it...and buy it ......and sub it

Ontario makes the best high value knives

Another great test man. lol Ontario products are just awesome.

Have you thought about testing the Buck 650 Nighthawk? Very similar blade style but 1/4" 420HC steel.

I would like to see you perform test on tactical folders like cold steel and crkt.

"I recommend chopping with the..." hatchet!

Hey Mayor, could the Sp6 guard take another knife’s blade slashing it in a knife fight? Would it survive decently?

Hi again, I was impressed with your tests on the SP6 and SP1. Both looks and feel right. Just one question though, with the number of fakes flooding the market, how can we tell fake from real with the Onrario blades - appreciate your take on this.

Don't change your presentation!! 😁👍awesome. Greetz from Holland

Got my eye on that blade. I have the sp1 and its a great knife. I just had to reprofile it a little bit, the angel was to thick to slice very well. But after that now its good to go and will last a life time. I perfer these blades over the kabars

Mayor, good test. I agree with you that the cinder-block test is a valid test of knife durability. It is my favorite test that you do. There is a valid application in the bush that corresponds with your test. As I might have mentioned on the Gerber LMF II(?) test, I often carry an Ontario RTAK-II when I am out in the bush. And most of the time I have to clear trails. So rather than using the sharpened edge to cut smaller (1in. or less in diameter) limbs off trees, I use the back of the blade. This technique saves the edge for more appropriate tasks, and gets good use from the back of the steel. It keeps my knife sharp for much longer periods of time, which, like matches and tinder, is a good thing to have when you need it. Those who think your rock-bashing is not "real world" do not spend sufficient time in the "wild world". Keep it up. JD - www.boernebushmasters.org

Blade length is a personal choice!

👍👏

I dont know whether I should buy an Ontario or a Ka-bar. Which one is better?

"For survival I would recommend something a little bit smaller." Obviously not a Joe Flowers fan.

That knife is tough as rocks

Never seen anyone make tinder like that. Threw the wood everywhere and was very sloppy

Why the hell do people feel the need to wear themselves out chopping shit with a FIGHTING KNIFE??? it's not a phucking axe people.

This is a very interesting and informative. Have you tried to do this with SP15 LSA?

Really wish the new sp6 was being sold with the older style sheath. Gonna have to upgrade mine to kydex and toss that made in China shit right I the garage.

It looks like the OKC-3 albeit without the bayonet ring and blade serrations.

This knife is also Ramon approved! Nice vid there, bro!

This guy cracks me up. When he hops around slashing at the board in the beginning of the video I laughed so hard that I shot coffee out of my nose.

I like your videos. Nice test

Remember, safety first! 11:01

good vid, thanx

good vid, thanx!!

Glad there was no actual destruction. It would be a sin to destroy that knife. It's a thing of beauty.

Love the chin ups mate!

You can get these at MidwayUSA' for 30 bucks free shipping. Buy one and an sp1 while your at it

Good test!

Love your videos

Great video I’m going to buy one best wishes.

I believe that's the 3rd ontario knife you have tested and it pass with flying colors.

hey man im leaving a comment under my daughters name.. so im a man,,lol.......i think this you are doing is great and so educational for everyone to see...this my second video and i loved it... this video is just cool... thank you for demonstrating for us...watching you will help folks decide what to buy... you should become a tester for all sorts of stuff,,,just to see how things hold up,,,,,like a real man cosumers reports....you could put alot of stuff to the test,,,.... most of all thanks for being carefull,,,important for children and adults.....great stuff.

When people ask me what kind of porn I watch, I still show them this video. Lol

Appears to be one tough knife and his test took it way out of its design parameters.

I made a good choice. I brought the knife!

Blade design of the USMC bayonet which is a very good fighting knife design 8" blade long enough to hit the heart when inserted downward from the top of the manubrium through neck hole, USMC field manual hand to hand combat with the issue bayonet

not sure why you do that little step dancing, left to right but doesn't impress anyone. your comments are spot on..

awesome video!

I have this knife, and it's a BEAST. I really hate the double edge though, but it's still a great knife.

👌👍🤟

🍀🍀🍀✌️😉✌️🍀🍀🍀👌

I'm a fairly recent subscriber, haven't seen a whole lot of your vids but for the sake of batoning to split wood, it seems like this knife would be solid for the job. Would you agree? Is there a lot of other knives that took abuse like this and survived?

You should review some type of smith and Wesson knife.

Hi . I just subscribed. Thank you ! I can stop doing knife reviews now . Haha . That was amazing !! What a Blade !!! Serious Destruction Test !! I’m sold ! Stop over sometime to say hello . (you might just find mine quite boring compared to yours ). But I still just do basic ( more than table top ) reviews . Stay safe as always and hope to hear from you . Thanks 🤠

I like when you stand on the knife

Bruh, if you did HD and stylized the action in slow-mo like Dutch bushcraft knives, your knife destruction tests would capture a lot of viewers. I subscribed because the content is badass and I think your channel would take off with some production value. Maybe also some more humor or fun. Check out Alec Steele and Cedric & Ada channels for what I'm talking about. Just my two cents. Really enjoying your channel.

You should say "safety first" a fee more times.

Ur so professional! Sog tigershark next??

One other comment. It’s not a damm batoning Knife. Get an Esee for that. You can baton the shit outa wood... with those

Okc military machete, okc okc3s, and Kabar bk7 I would love to see these on your channel

I just got mine in the mail

Good video

have you thought about doing a kershaw camp 10?

Hahaha don't try this at home chopping wood is child's play in the Philippines

Smack one of those chickens with that blade! For the block use a sledge hammer!

Been wanting that knife for a while now, it's hard to go wrong with just about anything from okc's spec plus line, i have an older sp5 and i love it.

Too thin ?
