Ontario Knife Company USA. (LAST OF THE OKC KNIVES)
Ontario Knife Company was an American knife manufacturer originally from Ontario County, New York. The company was founded in 1889, making it one of the oldest American knife companies in existence. Today Ontario is headquartered in Franklinville New York where they were manufacturing most of their knives.
The Ontario Knife Company was an American manufacturer of knives and other edged and military tools.
On August 1, 2023, OKC was acquired by Blue Ridge Knives and has subsequently now been closed and sadly, these will be the last of the Ontario Knives available to us.

The Mark 3 was officially adopted by some units in the United States around 1970, and was also sold for general sale.
It wasn't till late 1982, that it was officially adopted as the "standard issue fighting/utility knife" for the Navy Seals.
It also was once and may still be, used by Reconnaissance Marines at the Combatant Divers Course in Panama City, Florida.

The Ontario Knife Company USA made a fantastic range of utility and hunting knives manufactured in the USA assuring their users of great quality products. Like the Kabar USMC knives, the Ontario range take their place alongside the best of the Allied forces knives.
This is a sturdy, heavy-duty, high-quality knife with a VERY reasonable price tag. Made in the USA!
As OKC has now closed its doors, these will be the last of our knives so be quick.
