Ask Toooj

tobiism,

Yes. We do Loc-tite the screws. The best way to remove the screws is to drill the heads off. Please call Ontario Customer Service and they will replace all of the screws (and stand offs if needed).
Hope this helps.

Yes. They are all 0.25" thick and have the same shape. They all fit into the same handle.
Hope this helps.

Toooj,

I was at my local Walmart and noticed a modified version of the pilot and Marine knife in the display. Slightly modified to exclude the double edge and fuller on the Marine version. What is the story on these two products and do you have any pictures of the the Marine knife sheath? Thanks.
 
DRE,

We offered Wal-Mart a modified version of both our 499 (JPSK) and 498 (USMC F/U) knives. Notice the lack of swedges, no fullers (bloodgrooves) non standard sheath, lower cost. We wanted Wally world customers to have Ontario products but not interfere with the existing Mil Spec knives and the existing pricing structure....The 498 Sheath is basically the same as the Mil Spec sheath but it is sourced overseas....it is still a quality sheath.
Putting these modded versions in Wal-Mart helps our bottom line and gets "Made in USA" product into the mass market big boxes.
Hope this helps.

Hi Toooj,

Is the color of the 498 sheath tan or black? I cant find any pics on the web.

Thanks,
Dan
 
DRE,

It is black. The Wal-Mart 498 handles are turned but not dyed; so they are tan same as the JPSK.
Hope this helps.

Looking forward to seeing what direction/s OKC will be going in, in the future. Personally, I would LOVE to see the Spec-Plus line expanded, & maybe a few older ones brought back. I am still loving my SP-Quartermaster.
 
I would also like to see the SP line expand.
If you need some ideas you know where I am.;)
