How is the "Wilderness" shown here differ from the "Hedgehog" shown on other sites? They look like the same knife from Ontario.

Mine is called blackbird sk5. I am not certain about the wilderness or hedgehog.

Under the "2" stars review, see what I wrote about the sheath. Looks to be the same knife. Purchased my a few years ago. Could be the wrong pic, I see they make a "black" version now. "Noir" could be the "Wilderness" or since they now have a "Noir" they could have labeled the stainless one the "Wilderness" if not purchased through the Hedgehog website. Again, looks to be the same knife from the pic I see. I do not remember if mine had the 7500 designation or not. If so it could be a different knife. Hope that helps.

The "Wilderness" sheath, I believe, is what comes from the factory/dealer with the Ontario Blackbird. The "Hedgehog" is a custom sheath that has to be ordered from Hedgehog Leatherworks.

Sorry man, just looked at the picture myself. This picture has changed since I bought mine, which was a non-serrated and the picture previously showed a non-serrated blade.

I have the an original from the first batch they came out with in the 80s it has wooden handles and the sheath was brown folded leater . i recently baught a new one for my son it has dark micarta handles and a black sheath that is stacked leather instead of folded . both are great knives and excelent craftemanship. My original has held up to decades of use and abuse .

I had the same issue, and just went with the picture. Whoever wrote up the description used the same basic text for both the Chogan and the Kangee, and then didn't correctly change it to "Kangee" when they moved it over here. As the picture shows, this is the 2725 model, the Kangee with the spike / hatchet head, NOT the Chogan. At least that's what I got when I ordered this exact item. I know I notified Amazon of the error, but they haven't caught up to it yet. Hope this helps. Awesome T-hawk by the way! Great value for the $...

I just went to the buckknives.com site and its listed as USA. They put a USA flag on the pic if it is. So buck must have decided it was cost effective to make them here now. I never noticed any difference between the two. I hope this helps you. Great little knife for the key chain.

The one I ordered had a wood handle pictured and that's what I received. I think you'd be happy with any of the Mora knives. This is my first one, but at these prices, it won't be my last!

It's made by Benchmade, but designed by Osborne. The same quality by Benchmade, but cost extra to compensate the design. I like it very much, despite the cost.

Schrade closed their plant, I think, in 2004. Most are now made in China. They "might" be manufactured in other foreign countries also but I don't know. The Deerslayer is of foreign manufacture. It's a decent knife for a new hunter, that is, they'll do the job. I bought one for my grandson when he was 9. If you examine one up close and personal you'll quickly notice it is not of the same quality of the original Schrade knife. If you are seriously wanting a decent USA made knife, I'd recommend the Buck Zipper (has gut hook). It cost $55.++ but it's a knife that I have and I butcher quite a lot of game. There is a reason that the Deerslayer is only $23.++. Schrade closed their plant, I think, in 2004. Most are now made in China.

No, it is a real Buck knife made by Buck in the good old USA.It is a new limited issue of the old discontinued Frontiersman. The workmanship is equal to the original. The blade shape and grind are slightly different from my original pre 1985 Frontiersman. My new Frontiersman is Buck date coded 2012.

The blade has an unusual coating; almost looks like a weird sort of 1075 Carbon/Damascus steel thing going on. It definitely is not a black coat, so I suppose it is more of a rustic version, but I guess that would depend on ones version of rustic. It really is a beautiful yet simple looking throwback type of chopping knife. I apologize if my answer seems a bit vague. It's about the best I can answer though. Take care.

Yeah, I'm confused too. I see the Canadian version in the first picture but when I mouse over and click the the picture thumbnail on the bottom I see the original Cranium picture. Can someone who's already bought this item, please explain. Thanks!

Stamped on the strap cutter multi-tool is"The Ontario Knife Co. Made in the USA".This can be seen in the picture on the Amazon Web Site.

The handle is forest green, with a full tang blade and lanyard hole. I have seen the drop point prdigy, and the handles seem the same size, just different coloration, different blade style and different sheath. I think it is just the right size for mounting on molle web gear. It can easily be mounted for a chest rig draw, and it does not seem to be over sized, such as the cold steel GI Tanto, which is another inexpensive knife, but it is made in china. The Prodigy is made in the USA. Its a good all around tactical, fighting and working knife.

I did not look, or give it a thought when I bought it. Mainly cause I was told once by my Grandfather that Buck was a knife made in America. However, I just pulled it out and looked, "China" is on the blade. I have loved this knife it keeps a blade and is handy in size and style. Sorry, or OK however you look at it.

The one we received was hunting camo, but I don't remember the picture looking like digital camo so they may have changed the pattern. We got ours almots a year and a half ago.

I will only say for certain that the coyote brown version of this blade is made in Portland. I have heard people claiming different qualities between the colors, particularly the green.
