The Ontario Old Hickory Hunting Knife is a straightforward field tool made for handling common hunting and outdoor tasks. Its design focuses on reliability and simplicity, giving you a solid blade whether you’re dressing game or preparing kindling at camp.
The 14 cm blade is crafted from 5160 carbon steel, known for holding a good edge and standing up to heavy use without chipping. The hickory handle brings a natural feel under your hand, and at just 127 g it strikes a balance between sturdy in-hand feedback and easy carry on your belt or in a pack.
5160 carbon steel is a high-carbon alloy prized for its toughness—meaning the blade can bend or flex slightly under stress instead of snapping. The hardness rating of 57 (Rockwell C scale) ensures the knife stays sharp through repeated cuts, yet can still be re-sharpened in the field with basic tools.
