This video reviews the Ontario Ranger RD9 Survival Knife, highlighting its capabilities for heavy-duty woodscrafting and batoning due to its stout 9.5-inch, 1/4-inch thick blade with a full-flat grind. The reviewer notes surprising chipping and edge burring on the 5160 steel during initial use, as well as sharp transitions on the micarta handle that might require sanding. The MOLLE-compatible sheath, with its loose plastic insert and inadequate Velcro strap, also receives criticism. Despite these drawbacks, the RD9 is deemed a capable knife comparable to competitors in chopping and splitting.
