Another great test- thanks Joe! Here's what I think.....My Ontario SP10 Marine Raider Bowie weighs 22.5oz without the sheath. My Ontario SP5 Survival Bowie weighs 14.9oz without the sheath. Assuming the metal guard on the SP Raider Bowie weighs 3-4oz, this means the SP10 has an additional 3-4 ounces of steel in its sabre grind blade, which goes all the way to the tip. I think this explains why the SP5 with its weaker full flat grind is not as strong as the SP10. Still, the tip did great puncturing the metal and on the basic stab tests into the stump. But with the the long 10" blade and thinner stock, it was not going to survive the harder tests. Overall though, I still think it's a great budget US made survival knife that will hold up well to batoning with the way the steel flexes without easily breaking. My older 1095 version has held up to some really harsh field use without any problems. Regards, John
It did pretty okay! I am super excited to see how the CS Marauder held up to your tests, and in comparison to the other bowies you destroyed. Looking foward to the video! Keep it up bro!
Been waiting for this one. Seems not bad for the price/weight. Interesting that sharp right angles at tang weren't what failed first. Thanks and don't lose any fingers!
Thanks for the test Joe X, I been waiting for this one. I think for the price it is tough enough, especially for the blade shape. I have used mine hard for years and it has been very dependable. I recommend it
I’ve heard rumors of the new batch snapping just inside the handle. Glad to see this one never failed there with your test. I’m confident about carrying mine in the Everglades now thanks to your hard work. I’m going to remove the coating soon and cold blue it. So it cleaves deeper and still has rust protection. Ie been leaving it home and have been carrying my stainless steel cross between a parang and kukri. 13 inch blade .22 inch thick with a high , shallow, hollow grind with a secondary convex edge bevel. It’s never failed me in 35 years (non recycled 440C from the late 1980’s) , but the TPE type handle molded over a real, non skeletonized full tang with the back of the spine exposed is starting to tear from dry rot. So it’s time to make wood scales (or wrap it in tennis tape) for it and pass it down to my kid that doesn’t mind carrying the weight of it. It’s a lot heavier than the SP5. I made a sheath out of pvc pipe heated in oven and duct tape. Long before kydex was a thing.
@@joex I’m glad to see the mora Black I own stood up well to your test. Very well. I’ve been carrying mine for a while now( it’s a lightweight backup I keep in my pack if I loose my Cold steel leatherneck D2). I think now I didn’t overpay for it. I can trust it a long time.
This is my favorite big camp knife before I go machete. I did grind of the trailing point and made it a normal clip point. I did try out other big knives but this stays my favorite for over 25 years now. A lot of it has to do with the handle. When chopping or batoning I don't feel vibration in my hand.
Seems like a good knife to me. The rubber handle held up well when shot at also. Those car stabs were awesome. It's definitely a car killer. Better tip geometry than the BK9 for stabbing. Well made clip point.
@@joex Edit: The rubber handle of the SP-5 seems to be only held in place by the tube in the lanyard hole. Many of these handles have lots of play. There are many accounts of that in the Spec Plus models. Not that good it seems....
After 2 breaks you still have a extralarge knife. After 3 breaks you stii have a large knife. After 4 you stiil have a cutter and a serious prybar. That's a survival knife😂😂😂 Well done Joe, as allways!!!👏👏👏
knife Beautifully designed and suitable for hiking and camping. Beautifully designed and suitable for hiking and camping. Thank you for helping review all brands of knives. Why can't manufacturers Can take advantage of consumers May God reward you.
i have the old version of sp5 in 1095 for winter hiking,i have processed entire frozen trees with it,abused the shit out of it,its one of the few knives i actually trust,the reason i bought it was to be able to span really wide logs,i have pried out chunks of fatwood with it also but i filed the tip down to a drop point to make it stronger,its weird seeing it break that fast for you maybe i got lucky on heat treat?
I have an old 1095 version and the newer 1075 version like what Joe tested. I do think the older 1095 blades had better steel and heat treatments. However, the SP5 is a full flat grind and it is really long at 10". It is also a pretty light blade despite how large it looks. I think it did really well overall compared most of the other large fixed blades knives Joe's tested. That flex that Joe showed with it is why it batons logs so well without breaking. That's a sign of a good heat treat.
Very pleased with its performance. Never expected it to hold up like the sp10 but the question was how much weaker was it. Turns out not all that much.
I’d be interested to see you test the SP50 but it is discontinued so most people won’t be able to buy it for much longer, BUT it has been largely replaced by the Ontario Bushcraft Woodsman in 420HC stainless and this is still in production, it has the same blade length and geometry as the SP50 has. Every review I found of the SP50 gave it a very high rating for use in chopping and batoning through wood, I couldn’t find any reviews of it failing, meanwhile similar knives made by Ontario were turning out to be junk, they seem to have had very inconsistent heat treatments or something 🤷🏻♂️ but yea the Ontario Bushcraft Woodsman is a thick long piece of 420HC and would be very interesting to see how it performs in your tests (gerber strongarm is also made of 420HC? but with a different heat treatment)
About 89 Canadian here cheaper than my Ontario bushcraft woodsman which is the same size but made from 420hc or whatever stainless they use couldn’t find the carbon steel one at the time

Well I think that is it for joe's Ontario ~10" collection. I'm surprised by how little the knives had in common ultimately. I expected three different blade profiles on otherwise the same thing when I first saw the preview of Joe with all three of them together. Then I did a lookup of the specs. Then Joe's tests came out. Too bad about the way the 53 is built compared to the handle, that was the one 'upset' I saw in the whole series where something fell below expectations.
In the UK about £56.00 pounds sterling, good test 👏 did really good for the price 👍 even shot at pretty cheap good proformance, good knock about knife 🔪, still you broke it's back and destroyed it to bit's, hail Joe hail Joe hail Joe ♥ 😀 👍 👏 👌 😎 ♥.
Would like to see the new so called Cold Steel Razor tek. The largest blade in that lineup. Haven't bought a cold steel since they changed ownership to GSM. Keep killing it bro!!!! These videos are absolutely needed for the knife community.
i bet if the blade was tested it would probably show small fractures that go at least half way from the cutting edge - metals are crystalline in nature so just the right shock frequency will shatter them - softer metals are just tougher but require more maintenance
Yep. Sharp lateral impacts against hard materials is the worst thing you can possibly do to a knife. You can't design a knife to withstand this abuse without sacrificing everything that makes it useful.
U just keep making those videos and destruction with knives we appreciate it so we know how strong the knives are and what to buy and confident with what we carry
Tops Storm Vector would be interesting to see too, Dutchbushcraftknives channel did a review of it and were amazed at how well it performed but it is currently vary hard to find
JOE X, Thank you very much for uploading this entertaining video. For the future, in case you test a knife with a similar finger guard, I would very much appreciate it if you tested how the guard would be affected by a cut with another knife.
I wonder how the Ontario Cerberus fixed knife in D2 will perform against your testing. It seems that Ontario does a great job with their 1095 production process. It would be nice to see how they handle the D2, which can stand a lot if done properly. And of course the Cerberus is a nice knife also. Btw. what type of ammo do you use, FMJ? Great job, thanks.
@@joex Found it, thanks. It seems like the handle was extremely easy to penetrate, thus no substantial damage. Contrary to hard handles like micarta, etc.
Unlikely, but in theory I think it is possible to get a fireball from blending dry powdered creamer and leaving the top off - if the motor’s brushes/arcing is a sufficient ignition source, blending will aerate/aerosolize the dry creamer, spill over the pitcher’s side, and may reach an appropriate concentration to ignite. Or place a candle next to it.
@@joex more fun for sure,but you could hurt yourself that way,wrist or fingers. but that is X way,right ? ----------------------------------- Im so angry,was in hospital today have to operate atheroma from neck but I dont trust those bastards, atheroma is very close to main arteries..its risky
Not bad for a 109 quid , i got the lionsteel T5 but in carbon Niolox steel this time, knives and tools had a sale on €135 for it so I bought a knife i already have but in diffrent steel, probably because I have an addiction problem, no matter what I get into i go hard-core lol ..Im still waiting and hoping you'll get one in either steel to fuck up . Stay cool 😎 Pal.
i am shocked just how weak this blade is - i expected better performance - soon as fractures show on the edge - the whole blade gets weakened and the spine is gone
Weird that the SP-10 did so much better. Official specs for both knives say they aim for RC 57-59, so it's remotely possible we're seeing the difference between 3RC hardness, though I would be skeptical about it making that much of a difference.
@@joex Yes, it is the Sabre Grind of the SP10 that makes it a lot stronger. The SP5 was designed to be a military survival bowie that could function as both a knife, machete and fighting tool. That's why it is so light and fast in the hand compared to the Marine Raider SP10. As long as it's used within reasonable limits, the SP5 is a better survival knife if weight is a consideration. But if you can carry the weight and want something bombproof, the SP10 is probably the best of the best.
