Nice review. This is not my favorite blade profile, but there are certainly some good uses I could put it to, such as you have described. Not sure if I can justify the $200+ to add it to my collection. I am a big fan of Cold Steel, so if I happen across one, I may change my mind.
I’d like to recommend your purchase and review of another knife I’ve come by. It is by CI MA. I found it on Amazon for <$20. The title is "CIMA High hardness Full-Tang outdoor survival fixed blade hunting knife". You should be able to find it easy enough. It looks to be a bit of a knockoff of the ESEE 3 or 5, but at a much lower price.
I am a Busse man and a Cold Steel fan, and have the majority of my blade collection in these two vendors. But I have bought 7 of these CI MA knives already, and intend to buy more. I have been testing them for about a month now, and they have proven to be quite worthy. They are quite sharp out of the box, and do come with a kydex and cordura belt clip sheath, which is functional but does leave a bit to be desired. However, for the price point, I have to say this is probably one of the best value for money knives I've ever seen or heard of. I intend to buy more, as I've given quite a few of mine away already to friends and family.
Maybe you can take a look? I'd have emailed you but no idea what your address is, which is I suppose as it should be.
The knife can be purchased for $129.00 at

Interesting knife, I can’t wait to see one in person. I’d say that the blade looks more like some of the modern interpretations of a Seax blade than a Wharncliffe blade. Although I don’t think it would be a problem with this knife, I own a number of Coldsteel knives and most of them seem to be designed for people with smaller hands. Does Lynn Thompson have small hands?
Pat, how do you sharpen a knife made from this kind of steel? What angle? Your choice of sharpening aids?
I’m a Cold Steel fan, but + $200 is more than I’m willing to pay for any knife (I’m only a casual collector). Can’t say I’m too fond of the looks on it either. Guess I’ll stick to my CS Recon 1 for now…..
It’s going to be a tough sell to get the CS James Rawles Voyager CTS/XHP out of my hand.
Hi Pat,
Thanks for your suggestions. Right now I need to put my money into what I consider more “essential items”.
I might have to reliay I the OL’KA-BAR”, to get me through, in the meantime.
Thanks,
Sheepdog and family.
