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.

ELITE BLADESMITH JUSTIN GINGRICH DESIGNS NEW AFGHAN KNIFE FOR
THE ONTARIO KNIFE COMPANY AND THE NINE TIME ACADEMY AWARD
NOMINATED MOVIE THE HURT LOCKER

New Addition To OKC Ranger Series Is Turning Heads of Enthusiasts of Every Stripe
If anyone knows the ins and outs of surviving the most challenging conditions, its Ontario Knife Companyʼs elite knife designer and former military veteran Justin Gingrich. Having served 10 years in active duty for such honored units as the 3rd Ranger Battalion, 20th Special Forces Group, and the Ranger Training Brigade (among the many other hands-on military positions), Gingrich is no stranger to creating survival tools that excel where others fail.

Best known for his design of the incredibly tough and versatile Ontario Knife Company Ranger Series of knives, Gingrich has set his sights on adding yet another cutting-edge masterpiece to his register of serious survival knives thatʼll cut through the toughest jobs in a wide range of conditions — the new Ontario Knife Company Ranger Series Afghan Knife. Constructed from 5160 carbon steel and featuring a black texture powder coated blade — this no-nonsense fixed blade knife can tackle any job avid outdoorsmen face in the field.

The Ontario Knife Company Ranger Series Afghan also features an easy-to-grip tan Micarta handle and an overall length of 10” with a 5” long blade that is .25” thick. Plus, it comes complete with a MOLLE compatible black nylon sheath with edge protecting hard plastic insert and a roomy utility pouch.

Gingrichʼs unique designs have not only caught the attention of military personnel and outdoor enthusiasts of every stripe, technical advisors for the suspenseful war movie, The Hurt Locker, (starring Jeremy Renner, Guy Pearce and Ralph Fiennes), leaned on his expertise to design a blade for the movie that was as bold and brave as the real warriors who carried it — the Afghan knife. The film recently nabbed nine academy award nominations and is in top running for taking home an Oscar for “Best Picture” this March (challenging box office blockbusters such as Avatar and Inglourious Basterds). The Ontario Knife Company Ranger Series Afghan knife was carried by Fiennesʼ
character (Lead Team Contractor) in the film.

Not only did the Afghan knife give a superior performance on the set, along with an autographed photo of the movieʼs lead actor Jeremy Renner, it was auctioned off to the highest bidder after the movie wrapped. 

Ontario Knife Company donated the money raised to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing full scholarship grants and educational and family counseling to the surviving children of special operations personnel who have died in operational or training missions.

Founded in 1889, Ontario Knife Company is a U.S. owned and operated organization that continually stays on the forefront of knife designs and cutting-edge technology. Ontarioʼs military supply roots go deep into its history, as the company has been supplying quality cutlery to the U.S. Military since WWI, beginning with its famous 18 inch Machete. Today, the company consistently develops new knife designs that allow military personnel to have the products they need in order to get their jobs done both in and out of the battlefield. In addition to being a major supplier to the U.S. Armed Forces, Ontario Knife teams with a nationwide network of distributors/dealers to market its products to many diverse consumer and niche markets including the tactical/military, hunting, outdoors and cutlery industries. Worldwide sales activity encompasses more than 28 countries, and continues to grow.

When the members of the US Marine Corps face danger defending our country, they rely on their rigorous
training, each other, and the best-engineered tools on the planet to fight for our freedom. Thatʼs why The Ontario Knife Company is proud to announce that their new Model 4 Coyote Brown Strap Cutter™ was recently chosen — after grueling testing of global top competitors — as the military-grade, ultra tough tool for a variety of safety and rescue applications for the Corps. Thanks to its unmatched quality and battle-proven performance, The Ontario Knife Company has already proudly provided more than 350,000 life saving Strap Cutters to the U.S. Military for use in Afghanistan, Iraq and all over the world. This new, sole source contract recently awarded by the United States Marine Corps is for over 150,000 additional life saving Strap Cutters.

Semper Fidelis — “Always Faithful” — has been an official Corps motto for more than a century. It embodies the loyalty and commitment Marines swear to one another and to their country. These are fighters who have to make decisions in split seconds — decisions that save lives. Therefore, the tools taken into the field by these brave men and women must also constantly be relied on in life and death situations. The USMC had to have the confidence that
The Ontario Knife Companyʼs Model 4 Coyote Brown Strap Cutter was capable of saving a Marineʼs life — able to cut through all USMC wheeled and tracked vehicle seatbelts and aircraft restraint systems, as well as all USMC field clothing/uniforms, including footwear. And The Ontario Knife Company delivered.

“A seatbelt cutter can help save soldersʼ lives in two ways: by giving them the confidence to buckle up, protecting them from rollover, sudden vehicle stops or direction changes, and by being able to cut the belt to escape quickly in the event of a rollover, fire or water hazard,” reported SGM Thomas W. Coleman, U.S. Army Soldier System Center/PEO Soldier.

This incredible tool is compact and lightweight (with sheath, the tool weighs in at a mere 3 ounces and measures less than 7” length x 2” width) so itʼs easy and convenient for marines to carry and stash. Its unique Coyote Brown non-reflective powder coat finish ensures a quick and easy grab and grip. Its sightless orientation allows Marines to operate the tool either bare handed, or when wearing cold weather gloves, mission-oriented-protective posture gloves, leather gloves or fire-resistant gloves. This piece of equipment, while small, will give the
Marines confidence to buckle up in the first place, secure in the knowledge that it will do its job quickly and efficiently. Of course, The Ontario Knife Company has a long history of providing high performance tools to the Armed Forces and takes the privilege of being chosen over the competition to help protect our Marines with a key piece ofequipment seriously. “Weʼre extremely honored to have the Ontario Knife Combat Rescue Strap Cutter receive this level of military acceptance, and have had the distinct pleasure of providing the kind of equipment that
helps keep our troops safe at home and abroad,” says Nick Trbovich, Jr., The Ontario Knife Company President and CEO. “We look forward to continuing to provide high performance solutions for these demanding applications in the decades ahead.”

The Ontario Model 4 Coyote Brown Strap Cutter provided a wide range of industry-leading features that proved that no other strap cutter could match it. And the decision was not made lightly — this amazing, versatile tool was subjected to unbelievably intense testing both in and out of the field before emerging as the clear choice Marines could count on in life-threatening emergencies.

Itʼs crafted from rugged, lightweight, high-strength machined aluminum that will not melt, shatter or crack. It also features patented ultra sharp Titanium Nitride-coated blades, which can be easily replaced in the field in order to renew the life of the tool. These unique shatter-proof blades are flexible, impact resistant, and can easily slice through virtually any task it tackles. Plus, it comes complete with a flame-retardant, load-bearing, MOLLE compatible sheath which easily houses spare blades. This safety tool also features shackle wrenches and one perfect-sized opening that fit standard oxygen valves. Like other Ontario Knife products, the Model 4 Coyote Brown Strap Cutter complies with the Berry Amendment as it is proudly 100% made in the U.S.A. The Ontario Knife Company is a subsidiary of publicly traded Servotronics, Inc., (listed as SVT on NYSE-Amex exchange.)
