I've done up a few of the Camillus' in Iraq & they were rough but good knives, anyone have opinions on the OKC made version?
I know the Vic is a nicer product but as a US made alternative that would see real use, is it on par with the old Camillus, better, or worse?

The springs are SLIGHTLY softer than a GEC's, the steel is somewhere between a Buck, and Case's Tru-sharp. The awl is flattened at the tip, not pointed like a Vic Farmer. The screwdriver is longer, thinner & doesn't have the wire stripper on it but opens beer bottles just fine, and lastly my favourite tool on (my Vic's) the can-opener, I prefer the Vic but it does work very well.
The other 2 things I should point out is it's very heavy, and the bail is supersized. I think it may weigh more than my Farmer.
