You should look through the Ontario Knives:

To be honest, stay away from smith&wesson knives, their just cheapo's that dont last long, in over all quality between S&W, Ontario and Ka-Bar, is in just that order, for close to the same price you can get a Ka-bar 1217 (usmc model) which is much better quality and made in the states. sirmailorder has them for $77 cdn, which isnt bad for canada, plus their great to deal with.

can i order from that site i cant find where to do it

if you mean sirmailorder, yes. Just when you find something you want, the ka-bar for example, down at the bottom of the page, go to "quantity" and put in the # 1 (because you want one Wink

) then go to " order item"
then at the next page go to check out, and you'll need a credit card to order. The only other thing that might be easier to ya wuld to just call in and order.

how do you like it?

It's my most used knife and I like it a lot but it might take a back seat to my TAK-1 when it gets here:

I have a Ka-bar 8" tanto, personally I like it more than the normal model (1217) but its up to you, same materials used, except for the handle on mine, thats kraton as the 1217 is stacked leather.

I love my tanto, some times I take that in stead of my BK7. Shocked

Ohh, and I've beat the hell outa my Ka-bar, I know the have a "stick" tang, but when used right, it doesn't matter, really great knife. I did however reprofile the edge, from 20* to about 15*, make for a much better slicer, but the factory edge would work fine for a hard use knife.

Btw, the version Turd has also is an excellent hard use knife, its no surprise his hasent broken yet, very stout and robust knife.
