Would love to see a review of this beast, let us know how you get on please? I have owned a Ontario RTAK II for a while now, and whilst it's not as functional as my smaller knife (RM/SWC) it certainly has it's place.

 

[Retired Member southey]

I have just used it to make a sandwich, then split some wrist thick seasoned lime, it did both very well, a little hiccup with it not being able to get the last bits from the bottom of a jar of Tesco value sweet pickle.more to follow, I'm off for a two night camp from Thurs day so I shall see what's what.

 

[Johnnyboy1971]

Come on lets see some piccies of it being used.

 

[Retired Member southey]

Immediately after opening

so one of the main aims of survival is to feed your self, The Twins were hungry so........

Now this is a limitation, because of the tantoesq tip it's nigh on impossible to use the blade directly to get the last bits from the bottom of a nearly empty jar of Tesco value sweet pickle.

but over all a great success, food prepared and with minimal calorie loss! Could this be the ultimate SURVIVAL knife?

After that the blade was still sharp enough to chop through a decent log in good time.

and split it, I would normally make a wedge to split with but wanted to try with the knife as i had feared it might just shred the baton on the saw teeth, but no it obviously damaged the wood i hit it with but not t the extent that i couldn't use it over an over if needed.

!!THIS IS NOT A SERIOUS REVIEW!!

 

[Johnnyboy1971]

Well lets be honest about it. If you cant get to the bottom of the pickle jar you wanna send it back.
How sharp was it? I know it can do tomatoes and strawberries so must be reasonable.

The saw teeth are the only thing that puts me off the knife but other than that i likes the look of it.
Were the other bits on top of the box freebies?

 

[Retired Member southey]

Yup they come with the knife, I will do a better review on my days away this week, with a special video review that's currently in production!!

 

[Johnnyboy1971]

Looking forward to that. Have fun out there. Oh and i dont suppose you know when you might post that gear out to me do you. I can wait in then if i have an idea.

Cheers john.

 

[Retired Member southey]

It's about as serious as I'd expect from Southey.

I bet you cant use it to make a deadfall trap!!!!

Ahaa, no trying to get me to display my excellent trapping skills, I am still playing and learning to use the knife in some woods near JD, chopping wood to reinforce the roof of my cache and dug out, some bugger nicked off with a bag of my nuts though OH! um sorry no, I am just getting used to the knife and giving myself time to get over the initial excitement before I try to look at it in a balanced way for my first review of anything,

 

[Graham_S]

I'm getting the urge to have one of these, It's my own fault for watching Man Woman Wild on Discovery.

 

[JonathanD]

We are still waiting for this 'epic' review of the knife to end all knives.

 

[Retired Member southey]

Hahaha no!, not epic, well not tonight's first instalment any way, just an intro and a cherry breaker for me. Wait, out.
