Get your act together Ontario: Ontario Kukri Review

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

It’s a 1075 blade. Ontario stopped using 1095 a while back. You can tell because the ones in 1095 are stamped into the steel and 1075 are lazier engraved

[@MattRoseKnives]

I thought so… but most of the sites are still listing it in 1095. All the others are 1075 so I assumed this one was, but I do think you are correct. I think they may still use 1095 on their Rat series though.

the inallignment edge is an Ontario signature! unique handmade craft.

[@Eco19]

The fact you have 2 SP1’s justifies me wanting several very similar blades😂👌

[@JoyZofSoRRoW]

its a beautiful knife even if it's 1075. Is my van carry since I got it. However now that the company got bought out I think I'm gonna find a new kukri to keep in my Van. Wouldn't want to loose this one. Great Video.

1095 was all replaced by 1075 in 29th Feb 2017

I got a Rat7 a few months back that had a terrible grind. 2 totally different angles on the sides. I spent a long time with it on the stone and got it re profiled but yeah it took some work

[@MattRoseKnives]

Disappointing man!

[@HollywoodTacticool]

thanks for pointing this out. i literally just did a live unboxing of this knife too, and i thought my eyes were deceiving me. the grind seems to taper out then in. that may be deliberate. but now i looked at it again and can't tell if it's totally even. i see it in yours for sure. i'll have to check again in the morning.

[@MattRoseKnives]

Dang man. That sucks because the older models were super solid

[@MrDDiRusso]

The SMITH & WESSON kukri looks almost identical but is made from stainless steel and seems to be much sharper out of the box.

RIP OKC.

[@Eco19]

TLDR; i feel that in my bones brotha… i seriously don’t understand why they shutdown OKC….😢 - Been waiting on restocking of their 18” D-handle for about a year… Finally decided to send an email inquiring. No response… Sent a follow up. No response… Did a little diving, found out they got bought out and shut down for whatever reason, i ONLY ever hear overall high praise about OKC. Managed to find the last instock 18” D-handle I could find on the internet 🙏🙏🙏 LOVE this machete so much I started looking into other styles and also more (discontinued) OKC blades Currently talking importation with a seller that has one last of these Kukris!! More🙏🙏🙏 I also am debating on picking up one of the 22” D-handles that i found a few stragglers of🤔🤔 Do i need a 12” kukri

[@turtlewolfpack6061]

@@Eco19 I get that!

[@marksaint2936]

I bought a Ontario 499. It is amazing the lack of craftsmanship and quality control. It compares to post Soviet Union manufacturing, I just don't understand why a company allows such product sold as first quality.

[@pennsyltuckyreb9800]

My Ontario Kukri is also warped and curved. They all come like this....and Ontario doesn't care. It is what it is with them, unfortunately.

[@MattRoseKnives]

Yikes

[@bushcraft_in_the_north]

Mine is 1095 steel.

[@a_tired_dad]

Yet it can withstand more abuse than 99% of other manufacturers' blades. Still, a centered edge is a minimum requirement.

[@Eco19]

That 99% part is what makes it matter tho That being said, my OKC has a nearly perfectly centred edge so i guess i lucked out lol

[@tikkidaddy]

Ontario knife company was SOLD and the 88 employees were let go, the factory was closed. The OKC "named" knives are just that now. Named.

[@Eco19]

No, all the OKC blades you find are legitimate, they were all produced prior to shutdown No new parent company has recreated/reproduced any of their blades that have looked in to Find that last 1 instock at some random shop or that one person selling a used in hopefully good condition and it should more than likely be the real deal(unless theres some chinese knock offs floating around out there)
