I noticed the "new" stuff is ground a lot thinner, the tapers are very slim compared to the earlier stuff, you can not only see but feel a difference in hand, but I guess there's only one way to find out on the quality,, time to beat it up.
I don't have an original Afghan to compare it to. I have 2 RD7s, 2 RD9s, 1 RD4, and one RD6 from Ranger knives. There is quite a lot of variation even in the original Rangers. I hope the new Ontario Rangers prove to be as tough as Justin's are.
