As there has been some discussion of Ontario Knives here in fixed blades, I thought I would post a couple pictures of the Ontario plant for those folks here who don't live anywhere near Bradford, PA or Franklinville NY (Ontario Knives. Franklinville is a small town and Ontario knives is a block back from homes on Main Street, and isn't visible from Main Street, unless you are heading in from the North. Luckily I was driving in from the West so it was easier to spot. Kinda like Queen, its planted right there in town.
At the time Ontario didn't offer tours through the plant, but you could buy any knife that was hanging on the wall, which included Paul Scheiter's Blackbird SK-5, at a price a little better than online, and no tax.
Clay, Pre-ordered the GSO10 in April and still waiting. Anxious to see how it looks/works in my hand,
Thanks for the link to Survive Knives, Howard. That GSO-10 is a hoss. Wide 10" , 3/16 thick blade. A real chopper.
Yes Jan, the adult girls are very pleased with the knives. Handed down each a handgun as well - my civilian carry weapon (Series 70 Colt 1911 .45 Government Model from the 80's, and Ruger Blackhawk (.357) "Cowboy" gun, from 1972. I didn't give up either knives or guns, just upgraded.
Clint, thanks. They are a couple of good blades.
Nice knives Howard. Two of my favorite blades.
Howard, I know your daughters are proud and happy to have those
Yes, it could be rare.
Thanks, Steve and Robert. I ain't too bright. By the time OIF rolled around the Ek Desert Storm was a bit rare, so I should not have sharpened/used it. There are plenty of RAT-7s around, so I don't feel so bad sharpening/using it; although it seems that Ontario stopped making it in D-2 and went to 1095.
Great knife. Thanks for serving.
