Ontario Knives Household Boning Knife

This knife is well balanced and takes an incredibly sharp edge. The construction quality is great. I've had mine a few months and the blade is taking on a pretty blackish patina. Follow the directions: you *must* clean and dry these knives after use of they will rust. Don't put them in the dishwasher, either, or the wood will warp away from the tang. I clean and dry them and wipe them with a little mineral oil. This is a serious tool if you care for it and an amazing value for the price.

Oh do i love my Ontario Knife Collection... i always buy one more from time to time... We butcher our own Game, and farm animals, we Usually process every year something like : a Moose, a deer, a Bear, 2~3 pork, a many many chickens.... And these knife are the best steel you can get for such a low price.. they remind me of these old family knife grandpa would pass one to his kids... i keep them sharp using the AccuSharp,, very ez-work.. ! They wont rust if you wash them after use, like any carbon Steel. dont listen to the others who will throw these in the dishwasher and complain.... They will last a lifetime and more, if slightly taken care off...

Had forgotten about them for 30 years, recetly I was helping butcher a couple of hogs and the guy I worked with had some-after the day was done I went looking to see if they were still made. These are top knives for a low price-no special fancy stainless, tugste, glow-in-the-dark super space-age metal. Just a good working blade that takes on it's own character thru it's patina. Keep them hand-cleaned and dry and they are worth passing on. Learing how to properly sharpen the blade is a bonus. Since I do a lot of butchering, cutting and chopping for canning and such I'll be ordering several Old Hickory knives and building a knife block for them.

good edge but needs cast iron treatment to avoid rust

A good old-fashioned steel knife with a sturdy wooden handle - just what I was looking for! My old boning knife finally had the biscuit after 40+ years of steady use. This knife is turning out to be a very satisfactory replacement. Many thanks!
