I bought this exact same knife over 17 years ago when I was still in high school. This thing is bulletproof!! It's too big for me to really use a stone so, since it isn't being used to field dress game or julienne cut french fries, I use a regular metal file. Rough on the blade but it can handle it very easily. The powdercoating has chipped a little through rough use, but the damage is very minor. I still cary it on me when I'm going out into the hills after 17 years. The ring for the leg tie broke off the sheat years ago, but theres enough room between the point and the end of the sheath to put a new hole and lanyard. If you're looking for a workhorse knife, this is the one!!
Great knife! November 29, 2009 photograff This is one beast of a knife! I purchased this recently and so far I am really impressed with it. It's got enough heft to it to make it a really good chopper. Nice wedge shape for wood splitting. I took it out in the woods the other day and beat the heck out of it. No chipping, blade still sharp as when I got it. I'm not entirely crazy about the sheath, but for the price of this knife, I'm not going to complain.
Great Knife, Great Price January 17, 2009 Joseph A. Aycock (rome, georgia) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
If you're looking for a big heavy chopper, whether for clearing brush and doing camp chores, or defending the Alamo, or just for the heck of owning it, you could do a lot worse than the SP-10. Slightly larger (about 1/4 inch longer)than either the Case or Western Bowies, it's quality and workmanship is at least as good, and at only about half the price. Also, its carbon steel blade takes and holds a better edge than those stainless steel models, though with the obvious disadvantage of being more inclined to rust, so you have to keep it clean.
About the only bad thing that I could say about the SP-10 isn't really about the knife itself as much as the nylon sheath that it comes with. First off, the material itself will soak up more water than a leather one, a real disadvantage for the before mentioned carbon steel blade, and the knife retention system makes drawing it one-handed very difficult if not impossible, especially when wearing heavy gloves. Leather would be better, but a good kydex sheath would be perfect. My solution to the problem was to make my own sheath out of good 8oz leather, but if you want to spend more money for a custom sheath than you did for the knife, there are custom holster/sheath makers available on the internet who will happily do the job for you.
