Any info on this?

 

[Jerry Hossom]

I might know a little bit, but not those things that Ontario decides like when it will be shipping and prices.


There are three sizes; blades are about 5", 4" & 3". Closed they're about an inch longer. Steel will be S30V, satin finished. Handles are micarta. Titanium liners are 0.100" on the two large ones and 0.060" on the small. No clip.

From another of Jerrys post:

Blade thickness on large ones is 0.200". Medium is 0.160" and small one is 0.125".

Looks like a real winner. I understand the no clip thing, but am partial to them myself.

Of course that probably wont stop me from getting one.

Any news on this folder?

 

[Jerry Hossom]

Prototypes were shown at the SHOT show last month. Tentative release date on first one is May (figure June). Tentative list price of the largest one is $250. I don't know anything more than that at this point.

Thanks, Jerry!

They look great, and it wouldn't be too hard to throw an old Spydie or BM clip on one.

Once you held it you'd understand what the issue with the clip is all about. The handle is ergonomic so anything that sits on it will weaken your grip and feel uncomfortable. This is really a field knife, not an edc. I have a second folder design that will be very edc friendly, but that's for next year. Here's a pic of the family by Terrill Hoffman.

Oh yeah, once I get one of these, its off to Lifter for some awesome leather to travel in.

Who is putting these babies out?

 

[Jerry Hossom]

Ontario is making them

 

[Charlie Mike]

Thank you Sir, I'll have to get one.

I can't wait to get all three! I played with these knives at SHOT and they are fantastic.

Hey Jerry,

when is someone going to mass-produce one of your fixed blades?

 

[mschwoeb]

Have these hit the streets yet?

 

[jeepin]

At the BladeShow the Ontario guys said they were meeting that night to finalize pricing. I'm guessing that it shouldn't be too long.

Is there anybody that is taking preorders on these?

These look fantastic. I've been thinking about a Harsey Tactical Ranger. But I'm rethinking that choice. Hopefully, the Ontario Hossoms will be on the street reall soon.
