Since 1942, The Ontario Knife Company has been a major knife supplier to the U.S. Armed Forces. Ontario's deep military supply roots go back to WWII when the U.S. Military had a requirement for our famous 18" Machete. Since then, Ontario has worked hard to develop knife designs utilizing cutting edge materials and up-to-date manufacturing techniques for our armed forces. For our civilian market, The Ontario Knife Company has partnered with a nationwide network of distributors and dealers to market its products to the tactical/military, hunting, outdoor, and cutlery industries.

Excellent knife.
I bought one of these years ago. I actually bought 2. I have an original WW2 knife though not made by Ontario. There were slight differences in WW2 production knives. The contour of the handle on some, as well as baseline inserts near pommel and bolster. Also my WW2 one has a green fiberglass type hard sheath. Original hard sheaths lack a metal tip. Original ones didn't have this. I bought hard sheaths online for the 2 Ontario blades I bought and gave one to my dad who passed it to my son. These are my favorite looking knives ever and just feel good.

Great version of the WW2 M-3 Trench knife
These have been hard to find until recently. WW2 M-3's have soared to at least 3 to 5 times the cost of an original, which makes this a great buy for a knife to be used. Many of the wartime M-3's have leather grips that have or will fall apart with any hard use and are difficult and time consuming to replace. Keep your old M-3 as an antique military knife and get one of these to use.This knife with 1095 steel sharpens well, and the sheath is a quality leather product. Treat the leather handle with Neats foot oil and this will be a knife you can pass down to your grandson.

An Instant Favorite
Probably my favorite production dagger. Like everyone else, I like it better than the Boker model. I like it better than my Fairbairn-Sykes (stacked leather grip is much nicer than the steel grip of F-S). Like it better than Applegate-Fairbairn (extra length of M3 blade makes a difference to me, and more closely complies with Fairbairn-Sykes later minimum length specifications for CQC in heavy clothing, etc.). I like it better than any V42's I have owned (blade seems sturdier, although, I do not have the Case version, and if price is any indication, it must be the Cadillac of production trench knives : ) Better than OC3? I don't know. I wouldn't trade one, for the other. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Love the stacked leather grip; really grippy and comfortable. Like OKC's 1095 steel (takes a edge well). The edge is not refined, but I believe they don't send this razor sharp, as many who purchase this knife buy it as a collector piece, with no intent on using it, and don't want to slice their hand open when dusting around it, or running an oil patch down the blade from time to time. With a leather paddle strop, and some FlexCut Gold (available at KnifeCenter.com), you could be shaving in front of the mirror with this knife in about 15 minutes. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I think this sheath is just fine, with the rivets, and the guard stopping against the leather at its mouth, so it won't allow it to puncture through the bottom. But, since my wife tells me I was wrong once, I would scroll down and read Robert's, and Arthur M D's reviews to get a different perspective on the matter. Anyway, great value on a great historical knife. Thanks, Knife Center.
