No i don't but for the price i suspect it is VERY high quality. It was made for the military. I have many of Ontarios products, i love em. Good stuff.

It was made for the military.

Not for "military." For "extreme military"!

I don't know anything about the knife, but I would suggest first not getting sucked in by its marketing-licious name.

At first glance I would say: 1) I don't like serrations; 2) that saber grind makes it more of a stabber than a slicer and I use my knives to slice; 3) I don't know what the heck that fuller/hole/blood groove doohickey on the blade is supposed to be doing.

I'd take a RAT-1 over that one in a heartbeat. My 2 cents.

Its probably more of a "This was 100 bucks" kind of thing it probably isnt any better then a rat 1 or a utilitac 2 in terms of use. Just my opinion i have no experience with the knife. I personally like it but dont like the serrations.

I had an XM1; it was an "extremely" stout knife (think, Benchmade MPR thickness and feel), lockup was early and rock solid. I had the plain edge version. Fit and finish was excellent as well.

The XM2 looks even better as it has thinner handle scales so it would carry more comfortably. :thumbup:

Want to see some other knives that were 'Made for the Military'?

"Made for the Military" = "Marketed to the Military", nothing more. It's just a marketing strategy and should never be taken as an indication of a knife's quality.
