Ontario Knife 42923 Review

Carbon steel blades require slightly more maintenance than stainless steel, but JMHO, they are easier to sharpen and hold their edge better.

Modified lead. I love these knives! I've sharpened it to the hairline, cleaned the handle, 90 degrees on the back and mustard patina. Now that's a fantastic knife!

Compared to a $200 knife it sucks. Compared to a $50 knife, this is really good. This is an economical option for those who need a spare or inexpensive carving knife for a cabin or campground. The blade took about 30 minutes of reprofiling and sharpening to get it sharp and ready to use.

The centuries-old blade design is the benchmark against which all knives…
