Granted, the Ka Bar is fancy (I own that one too) and it sure may come out of the box cleaner and more refined. But it is the rough-around-the-edges Ontario 498 that does it for me. Will use it every day though not as an EDC in California. Put it to work in the garage or in the backyard. Give it a little TLC and it will outlive your grandkids even.
Thank you for the excellent customer service! My boyfriend loves his straight razor and likes your website! You may have a new regular customer, he has an extensive pocket knife collection. :)
