Hey guys, I found and purchased an Ontario Kukri that exactly matches the one that I got my dad in every way, except it doesn't say Ontario on the one side.
Is this a factory defect knife or something?


I read somewhere that Ontario did this for some certain retail outlet or something.
 
Did you buy them both from the same place? KC shows images of a kukri machete with that labeling.

No, I can't remember where I got the other one from. I just want to see if this one is a rip off. Especially because the grinds are SO far off on it, that I might want to replace it... But if it's fake, or I bought a factory defect, then that won't be an option!
 
Well, now that you raised that subject - the handle looked a little off to me...a little rounder, a little more KaBar-ish, than what I've seen in Ontario images. Of course, that is based entirely on images, as I have never seen/handled an Ontario kukri; so that thought could be without merit.
I'd like to think that KC wouldn't use generic, (inaccurate,) internet supplied images for their website; so I wouldn't be overly concerned about it not saying Ontario on it. It also wouldn't be unheard of for an Ontario to have uneven grinds; but without images, it's difficult to say if what you received is within "acceptable" parameters. Replacing? If it's a fake, yeah, you're SOL...unless it was a good seller and it was unintentional. If it's a factory defect, though, there should be no issue with replacement. We're pretty much officially on the weekend, now, so give it a few days...if the Ontario rep doesn't comment, you could try contacting him.

Did you buy it on the 'Bay or river site; or from a reliable source (which is not to say that there are not reliable sources on those sites). Knowing where you got it could help dispel or strengthen the concern about whether it's legit.
 
If my memory is correct Ontario made these for the original Brigade Quartermaster store years ago.
 
looks a real one to me , but mine Ontario kukri has Ontario name marked by laser.

congrats on getting a good kukri.
