🔪 Ontario Knife - Old Hickory 7-7 7" Carbon Steel Butcher Knife: Unbeatable Quality for Kitchen Perfection Review

Old Hickory Co. Ontario Butcher Knife works both in and out of the kitchen! With a classic look and a razor-sharp factory blade, it easily slices tomatoes, onions, potatoes and anything else we can throw at it!

I bought an Ontario - Old Hickory 7-7 7" carbon steel butcher/kitchen knife in November and have been using it for a few months now and I can say This is my go-to for anything that requires slicing or carving.
