ONTARIO KNIFE COMPANY INTRODUCES NEW UTILITAC FOLDING SERIES
BY CUSTOM DESIGNER JOE PARDUE

New Series Combines Best Features of Utility & Tactical Knives Into One Cutting-Edge Design
Ontario Knife Company, a leading provider of tactical knives to the U.S. military since 1942, has unveiled its new Utilitac Series of folding knives. Developed by world-renowned custom knifemaker Joe Pardue, this new series combines the practical functionality of utility knives with top design features “honed” on the worldʼs best tactical knives.

The result is a cutting-edge folding knife that delivers when it counts, whether in the field, on the job or in a wide variety of tactical situations. The Ontario Knife Utilitac Series offers 16 new SKUs, including models measuring 7.125” with 4” blades and models ranging from 8.5” to 8.75” long overall. Every knife in the Ontario Knife Utilitac Series features a premium quality .12”-thick blade fashioned from high-chromium 440 stainless steel. This material was specially selected for its exceptional balance of hardness and corrosion resistance, as well as its ability to take and maintain a razor edge.

These new “no-compromise” Ontario Utilitac knives feature injection-molded Zytel handles for superior sturdiness and grip. Available in Green or Black, each handle is designed with aggressive checkering and grooving for a secure grip and solid feel in all situations. Particular attention is paid to the knifeʼs back spine, ensuring maximum grip no matter how or where the user holds this knife. Each model features a lanyard hole (with available rat tails) allowing for different carrying methods. Among other “custom knife” details found on the Ontario Knife Utilitac Series are thick, full liners manufactured
from sturdy Cryo-quenched stainless steel. This makes for incredibly solid blade locking, in stark contrast to flimsy cockpit inserts found in other folding knives. Available options such as liner locks with dual stud openers are further evidence that these knives mean business.

The unique blade designs of the Ontario Knife Utilitac series are available in a choice of plain edge or partially serrated edge. In addition, users can opt for a low-luster Satin blade finish or tactical black finish. Ontario Knife offers the Utilitac with a variety of different blade configurations for specific uses, including a Tanto blade for a thick and extraordinarily strong point, a modified Sheepsfoot for superior slicing abilities, or a Modified Spear-style with a drop point, preferred by many tactical users.
