Bundle #1: 2 Ontario Spec Plus Knives
Ontario Knife Company SP-53 Bolo: The Ultimate American-Made Chopper/Bushcraft Brawler.
The OKC SP-53 is a legendary heavy-hitter designed for those who don’t believe in "too much power." It's like a survival ax, but with the finesse of a fixed blade knife.
Besides looking awesome, bolos are practical as hell. The geometry shifts the balance toward the belly of the blade, allowing physics to do the heavy lifting for you. This is just one of those IYKYK blades...
Specs:
-Brand: Ontario Knife Company (OKC)
-Model: SP-53 Bolo (Spec Plus Series)
-Blade Material: High-carbon steel with a durable black powder coating
-Construction: Full tang for maximum structural integrity
-Handle: Ergonomic, slip-resistant synthetic handle with a dedicated lanyard hole
-Sheath: Includes the original heavy-duty, Compatible nylon sheath
Origin: Made in the USA
Condition:
Purchased as a spare and confined to an extra go bag every since. The blade has never been sharpened or cut anything more substantial than paper. The molle sheath does show a little use with some minor wear and tear, but that's the worst of it. No box, unfortunately .
The SP-53 has gone up significantly the last few years. The most recent sales data from eBay shows that the 3 or 4 that have sold on the platform went for $199.
Ontario Spec Plus Alpha SP-8 "Machete"
(I wasted my sales pitch on the SP-53, so here's what you get.....)
12.13" (30.81cm) overall. 7.25" (18.42cm) black powder coated carbon steel blunt tip blade. Black textured rubber handle. Full tang. Lanyard hole. Black nylon belt sheath. It's a surprisingly useful knife/pry bar/chisel...... honestly, Machete would be one of the last things of consider this one for lol.
Knife is used but in great shape, with exception of some uneven wear on the finish, which I think I probably further exacerbated by putting Renaissance wax on the blade when storing.
Bundle Price: $195 shipped!
Straight cash is preferred, but I'm open to entertaining trade offers. Especially interested in a cold steel Caledonian Edge or Hatimoto.
Will update thread with Bundle #2 soon..
