First introduced in 1924, the Old Hickory knives are the most venerable product line still in active production. The Old Hickory knives feature a hardwood handle secured with brass compression rivets to 1095 carbon steel blades that are both very sharp and capable of retaining an edge better than most stainless knives. Proudly manufactured with artisan processes for over 90 years, Old Hickory has stood the test of time and is proven to be the best carbon steel kitchen cutlery sold today.
The Old Hickory line of carbon steel knives has long been a favourite for modification by end users. Bushcrafters and outdoorsmen love the heritage, the American-made quality and 1095 carbon steel for outdoors pursuits, often taking the butcher knives and shortening them to a more usable length and adding a sheath for easy carry.
Realizing this, Ontario has released the Fish & Game Knife (#7024) with a flat ground satin-finished high carbon steel spear point blade reminescent of the Kephart Bushcrafting survival knife. With the addition of a quality leather sheath, this knife can be taken right into the field for hunting, survival, and bushcraft, and of course, it still works great for hunting, fishing and food prep. Like the Kephart knife, the Ontario Old Hickory Outdoor Fish & Small Game Knife is perfect for all your outdoor adventures, from backpacking and camping to hunting and fishing. This knife has been optimised for dressing fish and small game. It has a hardwood handle and a durable leather sheath.

Old Hickory Carbon Steel Blade Care:
Please note that Old Hickory knives are made with carbon steel, not stainless steel. Ontario Knife Company has been making Old Hickory knives since the early 1900's. Carbon steel knives require extra care to prevent rusting and oxidation of the surface. Old Hickory knives should not be placed in a dishwasher or allowed to soak in a sink. After use we recommend cleaning the blade with a damp sponge or cloth and dry thoroughly. Some people go a step further and apply a light coating of vegetable oil to the blade’s surface. If your blade shows signs of rust, use some steel wool to remove it and then apply some oil to the blade. To keep the blade razor sharp, use a honing, or sharpening, steel. After years of use, the steel blade will develop a patina, a darkening which is desirable and an indication of its age. Old Hickory knives are durable and affordable, though do require some special care.
