I own an SP- "1" and abuse the snot out of it. Picked it up as a factory second for just that purpose. It sharpens nice, holds and edge and the blade is thick enough to use as a light pry bar, which you're not supposed to. I use it when I'm gardening to cut roots and pry rocks out of the dirt. Other than the finish being worn, just fine. The carbon steel rusts but if you use it often enough the rust never catches it.

It looks like they're making a cheaper sheath. Specs are the same on the blade.

Does the sheath come with the sharpening stone like the older leather ones? Still have one with stacked leather handle. This version looks a lot more durable.

The SP-2 has a minor downside, you have to be careful when batoning campfire wood or you'll damage the saw back. The carbon steel sawback will cut wood, bone and aluminum for making tools in a survival situation. Not a hunting knife for skinning and field dressing, a camp chore knife for brute force jobs.

I love my Buck 119, Ive had 2 sinse the 1980s. One fell in the lake, I used it hard for over 2 decades.
My newer one is about 3 years old and going strong.
But......
About 5 years ago I found the Puma knife company and havent looked back.
Ive had alot of knives including Benchmade, Spyderco and several handmades.....none hold a candle to many of the Puma knives.
And, they are a fraction of the price without giving up a spec of quality.
I have never held a comfortable Benchmade....im sure there are alot but the ones ive had are not ergonomically comfortable too me.
Puma knives know how to make a comfortable, durable and very useful knife. At my age I will never buy another brand. Anyways, I like Puma knives. :)

Ontario Knife is a NY company. Might be worth a drive to check them out in person. I'm pretty sure they have a showroom.

I had to go all the way to Indianapolis to even know that they existed. And I live just 30 miles from where they were founded. When I was in Indianapolis, I talked with their marketing folks about stepping up their game.
