Ontario folding knives

Militaria.pl store has a wide range of Ontario folding knives. It is an American company engaged in the production of knives and cutting tools. The company began its operations in 1889 in the state of New York. Despite the company's many years of operation, most of the knives are still produced in this state. As the company has grown, Ontario has become one of the main manufacturers of knives, bayonets and swords for the US Army. Continuous cooperation with the military allows the company to constantly develop and modern designs of new knives. The knives produced by this company are eagerly purchased, as they are characterized by precision workmanship and good materials. Today, Ontario folding knives can be purchased on the civilian market, which are no different from the military versions and still maintain high standards.

The store offers a wide selection of folding knives from Ontario. One of the most popular collections is RAT, which are knives from a joint project between Ontario Knife and Randall's Adventure & Training. Randall's Adventure & Training group is involved in providing technical rescue courses and survival training in extreme conditions. The result of this cooperation are models of knives made of high-grade steel and quality materials. In the store's assortment we have two models of knives resulting from this collaboration: RAT 1 and RAT 2. Ontario folding knives have a blade with a drop point profile, i.e. a profile where the belly of the blade has a clearly marked curve, while the back of the blade slightly drops towards the tip. This type of blade is very popular and often used in hunting knives, but also in everyday use. Comparing the model of the RAT 1 knife to the RAT 2, one can easily conclude that the RAT 2 is its scaled-down version. Thanks to its smaller size, the RAT 2 works better as an EDC knife. Among the various models of knives, it is worth noting the tactical knife, which was designed by Joe Pardue, that is, a respected American knife expert. The knives from Ontario have blades made of AUS-8 and AUS-8A stainless steel. These two types of steel have identical composition. The only thing that differs is the heat treatment to which AUS-8 steel is subjected. Stainless steel is primarily characterized by high resistance to corrosion, but at the same time sufficient hardness and resistance to damage. A major advantage of knives made of this type of steel is their easy sharpening.

Folding knives are very easy to use because of the peg located on the head, allowing you to conveniently open the knife with just one finger. The peg is located on both sides of the head, so opening the knife is comfortable for both left-handed and right-handed people. When choosing a knife, it is worth paying attention to the handle, as it will also determine the comfortable use of the knife. Handles are made of different materials. Depending on the model, nylon with reinforcing fiberglass or zytel is used to make the handle. To ensure the stability of the grip, the handle has a non-slip texture, which allows safe use of the knife even with wet hands. Ontario knives are equipped with the very popular liner lock. When the knife is opened, there is a bending of the plate and it clasps against the back of the blade. In this way, the plate prevents the blade from closing accidentally. The plate can be unlocked with the thumb by bending it. Thanks to the use of this lock, you can use safely, without worrying about the uncontrolled closing of the knife. Convenient handling of the knives is helped by clips located on their handles. With their help you can attach the knife to your belt or the edge of your pocket. The clips are adjustable, so everyone can adapt them perfectly for themselves. Folding knives manufactured with the military in mind, thanks to their features, are also great for people who are in no way connected with the military. The high quality of the knives and their reliability will satisfy everyone.
