Many may already know this but for those who don't, I have had a Ontario Knife CO. Spec Plus Marine knife for a long time. It has just been laying in a drawer in the garage. Today I decided to make a walking stick from an eight foot piece if ASH that I found while fishing. I couldn't find my hatchet so I picked of that knife and chopped off all the branches then whittled off all the bark. I then chopped off a bunch of knots which took some heavy chopping. When I started the knife had a darn good edge on it. To my suprise when I finished you could hardly tell that it had been used. If you want a good solid hard working survival/camping knife that will stand some abuse and still cut well, this may be the knife for you. The price makes them even a better deal. These Ontario knives are done laying in the drawer.
