This video is a detailed review of the Ontario SP50 knife, presented by Nutnfancy. The reviewer highlights its strengths as a large woods blade, emphasizing its balanced weight, robust 5160 steel blade with a full flat grind, distal taper, and sharp spine suitable for fire steel and hammering. The SP50 is praised for its performance in both temperate and arctic conditions, its competency in various tasks like splitting logs, de-limbing, hacking, and digging. The review also touches on the Kraton handle's properties and mentions minor design oversights like the lack of jimping and a thumb ramp, which are deemed forgivable. The improved MOLLE sheath is noted, though a Kydex or thermoplastic alternative is suggested for further enhancement. The reviewer positions the SP50 as a versatile tool with potential applications in combat scenarios reminiscent of bowie knives, but ultimately best suited for wilderness survival tasks such as fire starting and shelter construction. Its outstanding value at approximately $75 (as of 2011) is a key selling point, leading to a "Hall of Fame Survivor" designation and a 5 out of 5 Likability Scale rating.

This video review focuses on the Ontario Gen II SP46, a compact and lightweight survival knife praised for its capabilities in chopping, skinning, and wood splitting, despite its sub-15 oz weight and under $75 price point. The reviewer highlights the knife's full flat grind, 5.6-inch leaf-shaped Dirk blade made from WCI-brand US-made 5160 steel, and durable Kraton handle. While not a tactical fixed blade in the reviewer's opinion, it excels as a compact wilderness tool. The improved MOLLE sheath is noted, though its length is deemed too long for the SP46. The knife is recommended for those seeking a tough, affordable compact survival blade.

This video features a review of the Ontario SP5 knife by Nutnfancy, highlighting its utility as a survival and defensive blade. The review praises its 10-inch blade made of 1095 steel, Bowie-style clip point, flat grind, and comfortable Kraton handle. Despite its robust build and intimidating "FQB" (Faraway Quarter Battle) design, the knife is noted for its surprisingly affordable price point, making it a great value for soldiers, civilians, and anyone seeking a capable large blade. The reviewer anticipates further testing in his Rocky Mountain Knife Clinic. The sheath is described as tough but lacking quick attachment.
