I ordered a couple new Ontario products for my collection. They may be nothing fancy, but my Ontario knives now outnumber the other brands of fixed blade knives that I own.
These last two acquisitions are an SP-1 and Ontario 12" machete. I actually already own a few of OKC's Marine Corps F/U type knives, and already own the OKC 18" and 22" machetes. These are a little different than what I already owned, so in the collection they went
I did come a little late to the OKC game, but now my collection has caught up pretty well during the past few years. Some of the now discontinued OKC knives I will never be able to get my hands on, (costing more than I would be willing to pay on the secondary market), but that's okay, new OKC stuff seems to keep trickling out
I've definitely been happiest with OKC's non leather handled products. It's not that I dislike stacked leather handles, I do like them when they are well executed. But, Ontario's stacked leather is simply nowhere as well executed as they should/could be. To be totally honest, my OKC with leather are the crudest leather handled knives that I own.
Would still love to someday see OKC offer a stacked leather handled version of their SP-10, but in Ka-Bar quality leather handle form, (Ka-Bar has their leather handles down to a science). Until then, I'll continue sticking with OKC's non leather products on any future purchases I make
