NEW ONTARIO KNIFE COMPANY® JOURNEYMAN KNIFE IS BUILT TO HANDLE THE OUTDOOR LIFE

Ontario Knife Company® (OKC®), an award-winning cutlery maker backed by over 130 years of bladesmith experience and heritage, proudly introduces a new take on an old standard with the new OKC Journeyman knife. This new knife takes features and styling from classic designs and forges them into a new knife that is perfect for the rugged world of the workplace and hard-core outdoor lifestyle use.

“The 499 Pilot Survival Knife is a classic design created as a do-all blade for working pilots who needed a survival knife and a working tool as well,” said Kenneth Trbovich, President and CEO of Ontario Knife Company. “We wanted a modern take on that design that keeps the heritage alive while providing a working knife for both the serious outdoor enthusiast and anyone needing a versatile knife for jobsites, or other activities. The new OKC Journeyman does just that.”

The OKC Journeyman has an overall length of 8.5 inches with a 4-inch, high-carbon steel blade, the blade has a serrated back and a versatile shape making it very handy in a wide range of conditions. The blade retains an edge very well and has a hardness rating of 55-57 HRC. The handle is stacked leather, which has proven to provide grip and durability for decades, and the butt of the handle shares the signature style of the 499 Pilot Survival Knife.

The OKC Journeyman Knife is proudly backed by a lifetime warranty and Made in the USA. It comes with a leather sheath and is ready for any adventure, jobsite or condition you can throw at it.
