Ontario Knife Company(R) Introduces New Utilitac(R) Folding Series by Custom
Designer Joe Pardue




FRANKLINVILLE, N.Y., Nov. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 world's 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
knife's 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. 

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.
