Have any of you guys handled this knife yet? Thoughts??

Featuring high quality 154 CM stainless steel

Specs--

Rockwell Hardness: 58-60 Rc
Blade length: 5"
Overall length: 10"
Steel: 154CM
Handle: Canvas Micarta
 
A couple of years ago I was fortunate to purchase the combo at a considerable discount from another member...and carried it once and immediately put it back up for sale that week....
The Hedgehog Leather Sheath is absolutely fantastic...just the right thickness,weight and beautifully finished.
The Ontario SK 5 pushed all the buttons for me..154cm and spear point blade...now the downside and why I sold it..the handle no matter how I tried to hold it felt comfortable plus the blade was taller than I expected and looked disproportional in the overall package...
I have a large hand so an blade height of 1 3/16" or 1 1/4" I enjoy ....when it becomes 1 3/8" the handle has to feel better be me.
Otherwise positive reviews by many on You Tube.
 
Not a bad knife at all. Made by Ontario. Handle is a little boxy but not uncomfortable in my opinion. No frills knife made to be used.
 
Here, so 200 others dont all have to Google it.

Looks like a tough, no frills worker. If I needed something in that class I'd definitely give it a fair shot. While the blade might be a little boring for some, I really like the flat grind, looks like it would be great in the woods. A fair price too, for $130 I wouldn't feel bad about throwing that one in my vehicle bag.

I don't have one and have never handled one. The host of the Weather Channels Three Fat Guys in the Woods uses one and claims its the best all round knife for him. Not sure which episode he talks about it. It's also the prize that he gives out to the most improved woodsman, along with a custom sheath, at the end of every episode.
