So looking for quality knives for my go bags and hunting backpack I found this knife. It is a solid knife with some heft to it - which is good. The cutting edge of the blade is only 2-1/2" of the bottom part of the blade. The rest of the bottom edge of the blade is small serrated - which would be good for cutting through bone, etc. The upper edge has more aggressive serrations which would probably be good for cutting wood. I like the heavy endcap that can be used as a hammer. As stated the end is somewhat pointed to be able to break glass.
As stated in a Q&A, the sheath can be mounted in many different ways. the leg straps can be removed if you don't want or need them. There are 2 straps that go around the handle to secure the knife in the sheath. If you are looking for quick deployment that might slow you down. I guess you could leave 1 strap undone. But I like the extra security of having 2 straps to hold the knife securely.
I had a similar experience with trying to get a good Ontario old style USAF Survival Knife. I had to return 2 of them and finally abandoned getting one from Amazon due to quality issues. I finally found one in a retail store that was satisfactory.
My question: Is Ontario selling seconds to Amazon? I think I am going to go with the Gerber LMF II.
