These came in yesterday. Two Rough Rider canoes (toxic green and mini white smooth bone) and a Marble's rams horn canoe. The green is part of their Zombie Nick series and is actually pretty cool. Two more due tomorrow!

Picked this one up yesterday. Really like Ontario Knife Company's products and got a fair deal on this one. Ordered the kydex sheath for it today, I will post pics of that when it gets here

Wanted to get basically a grab and go, do all knife, I think this should fit the bill. Anyone have any experience taking the finish off a knife like this? I have removed the finish from my Cold Steel knife and am wondering if this is a similar finish or something more difficult to remove?

Which Ontario knife is that?

It is the R.A.K.from their "Ranger Series".

I think I am going to hit it with some aircraft remover to strip the coating off the blade, we will see how it goes

Stripped off that icky flat black factory coating. Put some patina on it with a little mustard then some apple cider vinegar. I think it looks better than the factory but I may be biased lol

The two others arrived. Discontinued Rough Riders, armor plate and stag bone. These two are really nice.

Got my kydex sheath in, the retention is a bit too tight, gotta figure out how to relax it a bit

Robert, can you use a heat gun, leaving the knife in the sheath, heat it up enough to slightly soften it, then give it just a slight twist sideways and hold till cool again....then maybe that would loosen it just enough ?

My last knife was a carbon steel chinese cleaver. Seems like a rustic utensil but if you think that it can be traced back to thousands of years of history and served for culinary purposes for thousands of millions of people you have to think there's something unique in this simple design. Once you begin using it you get to understand what: versatile, easy to sharpen, keeps sharp for ages, doubles as a scraper, etc.

Nice cleaver! Most classically trained Chinese chefs use only one knife for all their prep work and its a cleaver just like that... They can fillet fish, debone chicken, breakdown meats and carve fancy vegetable sculptures, among other things with just that one blade...

Very nice, love all the Kershaw line, especially the Speedsafe Assisted openers.

That one has some nice lines and I love the blue lanyard, plus it's good quality D2steel blade, and tip up / tip down carry, which is a must for me at least

Darrell, do you prefer tip up or tip down? I once was carrying a Kershaw Boa (If I remember correctly) tip up and it somehow opened a little bit. I reached into my pocket and I was NOT expecting that kind of pain! Fingers bleed a LOT! Ever since then it's been a traditional slipjoint or tip down. Tip WAY down!

For the Kershaw especially with Speedsafe Assist or flipper, def tip up, but I did have an expensive Benchmade once that I had the same thing as you happen.....bled like a stuck pig

Had to pick up one of these. Real steel luna g10 Heinnie Haynes edition. Really nice little slippy and my first knife in d2. Next to my spyderco urban for size comparison

Nice. I was looking at that little HH in red the other day.

I'm really pleased with it. I wanted a luna for a while but didn't like the idea of paying £130 for a micarta one. For £29 this HH version is a steal. It's got lovely fit and finish and a really satisfying action
