Ontario Knife Company® has been delivering proven knife designs that are the first and last line of defense and survival in some of the most demanding environments on Earth. The company cut its teeth on tactical lines back in its inception more than a century ago, and since has been unmatched in developing compact, versatile knife solutions tailored for the outdoor enthusiast. The Ontario Knife Rat™-3 Sheath is no exception — created by experts to stand up to punishing applications that can mean the difference between life and death in the field.

This exceptionally powerful design is crafted from some of the toughest materials on the market — the fixed blade is a 5” flat ground 1095 carbon steel blade — with a black textured powder coating created to stay razor sharp and built to last for generations. The Ontario Knife Rat-3 comes complete with a rugged canvas micarta handle in four model configurations: a serrated blade edge, or plain edge with either Black or Foliage Green sheath.

When you pack a knife as part of your survival contingency plan should the unexpected occur in the wilderness, you want the assurance that this tool is going to slice effortlessly through rope, wood, or flesh. The Ontario Knife Rat-3 delivers this kind of performance and more — it fits in your pack or on your belt with ease, as itʼs a mere 7.8” in overall length, while the blade has a 3.5” cutting edge, and thickness of .125”. In fact, all Rat-3 knife options include the specially designed sheath with a boot clip and TekLok™ attachment options. Measuring 2" x 2 3/4", itʼs made of black Kydex and snaps securely around belts up to 1 1/2" wide, offering a wide range of holes and slots for securing the knife sheath in numerous different positions.

Like all Ontario Knife products, the Ontario Knife Rat™-3 is proudly made in the U.S.A, and is backed by craftsmanship and expertise of the company thatʼs been supplying knives and accessories to outdoorsmen and our military for decades.

Founded in 1889, The Ontario Knife Company is a U.S. owned and operated organization that continually stays on the forefront of knife designs and cutting-edge technology. Ontarioʼs military supply roots go deep into its history, as the company has been supplying quality cutlery to the U.S. Military since WWI, beginning with its famous 18 inch Machete. Today, the company consistently develops new knife designs that allow military personnel to have the products they need in order to get their jobs done both on and off of the battlefield.


Ontario Knife is also especially proud of being selected as the sole provider of the United States Marine Corps OKC3S Multi-purpose Bayonet System. In addition to being a major supplier to the U.S. Armed Forces, Ontario Knife teams with a nationwide network of distributors/dealers to market its products to many diverse consumer and niche markets including the tactical/military, hunting, outdoors and cutlery industries. Worldwide sales activity encompasses more than 28 countries, and continues to grow.

When the members of the US Marine Corps face danger defending our country, they rely on their rigorous
training, each other, and the best-engineered tools on the planet to fight for our freedom. Thatʼs why The Ontario Knife Company is proud to announce that their new Model 4 Coyote Brown Strap Cutter™ was recently chosen — after grueling testing of global top competitors — as the military-grade, ultra tough tool for a variety of safety and rescue applications for the Corps. Thanks to its unmatched quality and battle-proven performance, The Ontario Knife Company has already proudly provided more than 350,000 life saving Strap Cutters to the U.S. Military for use in Afghanistan, Iraq and all over the world. This new, sole source contract recently awarded by the United States Marine Corps is for over 150,000 additional life saving Strap Cutters.

Semper Fidelis — “Always Faithful” — has been an official Corps motto for more than a century. It embodies the loyalty and commitment Marines swear to one another and to their country. These are fighters who have to make decisions in split seconds — decisions that save lives. Therefore, the tools taken into the field by these brave men and women must also constantly be relied on in life and death situations. The USMC had to have the confidence that
The Ontario Knife Companyʼs Model 4 Coyote Brown Strap Cutter was capable of saving a Marineʼs life — able to cut through all USMC wheeled and tracked vehicle seatbelts and aircraft restraint systems, as well as all USMC field clothing/uniforms, including footwear. And The Ontario Knife Company delivered.

“A seatbelt cutter can help save soldersʼ lives in two ways: by giving them the confidence to buckle up, protecting them from rollover, sudden vehicle stops or direction changes, and by being able to cut the belt to escape quickly in the event of a rollover, fire or water hazard,” reported SGM Thomas W. Coleman, U.S. Army Soldier System Center/PEO Soldier.

This incredible tool is compact and lightweight (with sheath, the tool weighs in at a mere 3 ounces and measures less than 7” length x 2” width) so itʼs easy and convenient for marines to carry and stash. Its unique Coyote Brown non-reflective powder coat finish ensures a quick and easy grab and grip. Its sightless orientation allows Marines to operate the tool either bare handed, or when wearing cold weather gloves, mission-oriented-protective posture gloves, leather gloves or fire-resistant gloves. This piece of equipment, while small, will give the
Marines confidence to buckle up in the first place, secure in the knowledge that it will do its job quickly and efficiently. Of course, The Ontario Knife Company has a long history of providing high performance tools to the Armed Forces and takes the privilege of being chosen over the competition to help protect our Marines with a key piece ofequipment seriously. “Weʼre extremely honored to have the Ontario Knife Combat Rescue Strap Cutter receive this level of military acceptance, and have had the distinct pleasure of providing the kind of equipment that
helps keep our troops safe at home and abroad,” says Nick Trbovich, Jr., The Ontario Knife Company President and CEO. “We look forward to continuing to provide high performance solutions for these demanding applications in the decades ahead.”

The Ontario Model 4 Coyote Brown Strap Cutter provided a wide range of industry-leading features that proved that no other strap cutter could match it. And the decision was not made lightly — this amazing, versatile tool was subjected to unbelievably intense testing both in and out of the field before emerging as the clear choice Marines could count on in life-threatening emergencies.

Itʼs crafted from rugged, lightweight, high-strength machined aluminum that will not melt, shatter or crack. It also features patented ultra sharp Titanium Nitride-coated blades, which can be easily replaced in the field in order to renew the life of the tool. These unique shatter-proof blades are flexible, impact resistant, and can easily slice through virtually any task it tackles. Plus, it comes complete with a flame-retardant, load-bearing, MOLLE compatible sheath which easily houses spare blades. This safety tool also features shackle wrenches and one perfect-sized opening that fit standard oxygen valves. Like other Ontario Knife products, the Model 4 Coyote Brown Strap Cutter complies with the Berry Amendment as it is proudly 100% made in the U.S.A.

ONTARIO KNIFE COMPANY INTRODUCES THE NEXT GENERATION OF INNOVATION
Powerful New Features of the All New Ontario Knife Company GEN II Series

Are a Cut Above the Competition Ontario Knife Company has been leading the industry with cutting edge products for decades — and with the launch of its new Ontario Knife Company GEN II series, the companyʼs design experts have taken their own legacy of excellence and attention to detail to the next level.

The all-new models in the series are designed by industry veteran Dan Maragni, who applied his more than 20 years of cutlery manufacturing and design expertise to enhancing Ontario Knife Companyʼs renowned Spec Plus line. It features state-of-the-art upgrades to all materials, and drills down into incredibly unique new heat treatment and manufacturing processes, for an unsurpassed level of craftsmanship and durability. The result is an upper echelon series of knives perfect for a wide range of tactical, sporting, outdoor survival and rescue personnel applications.

The revolutionary new Ontario Knife Company GEN II series starts with a special metallurgist-inspected 5160 High Carbon Steel, far tougher than other steels, and perfectly suited to the industrial heat-treating techniques with which the new line is forged. Then these innovative new knives are cut with a water jet, versus a laser, to ensure the integrity of the steel and prevent the possibility of cracking. To further guard against cracking, Ontario Knife grinds approximately 0.030” off of each side of the blanks before they undergo this special, intensive heat treatment, to eliminate any issues from the hot rolled surface.

The designer has even introduced an exclusive, specially researched and developed snap temper system — a short, low temperature process, which relieves the stress inherent in the hardening steps, before the clamp and temper, and prevents any cracking of the blades while they are clamped in the straightening racks.

Each of the new models has rock solid black texture powder coated blades. Typically, powder coated blades require deep imprinting deeply, which can result in cracked or weakened material. However, the new blades in Ontario Knife Companyʼs GEN II series are each laser engraved, which keeps the innate structure of the steel intact and powerful.

Plus, each knife in the series is created with a solid ribbed Kraton polymer handle and features full tang construction, and comes complete with a sturdy combination leather/Cordura sheath.

FRANKLINVILLE, N.Y., Dec. 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Field & Stream Magazine's "Best of the Best" award is one of the most prestigious accolades in the outdoor gear industry.  Each year, expert field testers at Field & Stream evaluate hundreds of the best new outdoor products, narrowing them down to the most outstanding equipment across several categories. With the conclusion of this exhaustive testing, the Ontario Knife Company's Blackbird SK-5, designed by survivalist Paul Scheiter, was awarded "Best of the Best" in the knife category for 2011.  Find the full article at www.BestKnifeOfTheYear.com

"We are very proud to have received the recognition from Field & Stream as the best knife product introduced in 2011," said Ken Trbovich. "Ontario Knife Company has always focused on knives that incorporate function, rugged materials and stylish design.  The Blackbird SK-5 epitomizes this philosophy.  To have it recognized as the ultimate outdoorsmen knife is a thrilling and humbling accomplishment."

Paul Scheiter, the designer of the Blackbird SK-5, developed the knife with the goal of achieving maximum function, delivered through pure simplicity. "I believe that the less complicated a product is, the better it will perform when your life depends on it. The Blackbird SK-5 is comfortable to use, has ideal cutting geometry, and is extremely durable... all of the things necessary for the most demanding wilderness survival tasks. The Blackbird is a timeless classic, and I am proud to have partnered with The Ontario Knife Company in bringing this product to life. Their deep roots in American manufacturing and their commitment to delivering products that save lives are things that I deeply admire," said Scheiter.

Paul Scheiter is also the owner of the world renowned sheath company, Hedgehog Leatherworks, which produces a high performance aftermarket leather sheath for the Blackbird SK-5 Knife that is available directly through www.HedgehogLeatherworks.com

Because of its emphasis on pure function with no frills, the Blackbird has proven itself to be an invaluable tool for survivalists, soldiers, hunters, and outdoorsmen of all walks. The knife itself is comprised of a full tang 154CM high grade stainless steel blade that is fitted with black micarta handles. It is 10 inches overall, with 5 inches of sharpened blade and 5 inches of handle. At just under 3/16" thick, the knife is ideally suited to detailed carving, but also excels at tasks that involve splitting through wood. The steel is heat treated to Rockwell Hardness 58-60, and comes with a hand sharpened edge that will easily skin small and big game alike. Perhaps most importantly, ergonomics are at the forefront of this design, so the knife is comfortable to hold for prolonged periods of intense work. The package is topped off with an American made MOLLE compatible nylon sheath.  All of these elements add up to deliver a "must have" survival system.

Like other Ontario Knife products, the Blackbird SK-5 complies with the Berry Amendment, as it is proudly 100 percent made in the U.S.A.

New Addition To OKC Ranger Series Is Turning Heads of Enthusiasts of Every Stripe
If anyone knows the ins and outs of surviving the most challenging conditions, its Ontario Knife Companyʼs elite knife designer and former military veteran Justin Gingrich. Having served 10 years in active duty for such honored units as the 3rd Ranger Battalion, 20th Special Forces Group, and the Ranger Training Brigade (among the many other hands-on military positions), Gingrich is no stranger to creating survival tools that excel where others fail.

Best known for his design of the incredibly tough and versatile Ontario Knife Company Ranger Series of knives, Gingrich has set his sights on adding yet another cutting-edge masterpiece to his register of serious survival knives thatʼll cut through the toughest jobs in a wide range of conditions — the new Ontario Knife Company Ranger Series Afghan Knife. Constructed from 5160 carbon steel and featuring a black texture powder coated blade — this no-nonsense fixed blade knife can tackle any job avid outdoorsmen face in the field.

Plus, it comes complete with a MOLLE compatible black nylon sheath with edge protecting hard plastic insert and a roomy utility pouch.

Gingrichʼs unique designs have not only caught the attention of military personnel and outdoor enthusiasts of every stripe, technical advisors for the suspenseful war movie, The Hurt Locker, (starring Jeremy Renner, Guy Pearce and Ralph Fiennes), leaned on his expertise to design a blade for the movie that was as bold and brave as the real warriors who carried it — the Afghan knife. The film recently nabbed nine academy award nominations and is in top running for taking home an Oscar for “Best Picture” this March (challenging box office blockbusters such as Avatar and Inglourious Basterds). The Ontario Knife Company Ranger Series Afghan knife was carried by Fiennesʼ
character (Lead Team Contractor) in the film.

Not only did the Afghan knife give a superior performance on the set, along with an autographed photo of the movieʼs lead actor Jeremy Renner, it was auctioned off to the highest bidder after the movie wrapped. 

Ontario Knife Company donated the money raised to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing full scholarship grants and educational and family counseling to the surviving children of special operations personnel who have died in operational or training missions.
