Ontario Knife Company

Ontario Knife Company – Field-Tested. Time-Proven.

Ontario Knife Company has been building knives for over a century—and that kind of longevity doesn’t happen by accident.

Founded in 1889, OKC has earned its reputation the right way: by producing knives that work when it matters most. From supplying the U.S. military with trusted field blades to creating iconic designs that have stood the test of time, Ontario has always focused on function first.

These are knives with a purpose.

Whether it’s the legendary OKC RAT Series folders or their hard-use fixed blades, Ontario knives are built to perform in real conditions—not just look good on a shelf. You’ll find straightforward designs, durable materials, and a level of reliability that comes from decades of refinement.

No unnecessary flash. No overcomplication.
Just tools that get the job done.

That’s what makes Ontario Knife Company such a staple in the EDC and outdoor communities. They’ve proven, time and time again, that a well-designed knife doesn’t need hype—it just needs to work.

And that’s exactly why it belongs here at Howling Dog EDC.

Because when you reach for your gear, you should have complete confidence in it.

Ontario Knife Company delivers that confidence—built on over 100 years of doing it right.
