Ontario Knife has been manufacturing "Old Hickory" kitchen knives for over 100 years - in fact since 1889. The "Old Hickory" knives have stood the test of time and proved themselves as the best carbon steel kitchen knife sold today. Each "Old Hickory" knife is made with 1095 carbon steel, fully heat treated and tempered to provide a razor sharp cutting edge which is easily sharpened when needed. The knives are fitted with an attractive hardwood handle branded "Old Hickory" and secured with brass compression rivets. Caution, high carbon steel will rust if not properly cared for. Clean and oil after use, and keep out of the dishwasher.

Out of the box, this knife is decently sharp with a tough but relatively shallow edge angle and a fairly crude point. Some quality time with a WorkSharp brought the edge to a steeper (~25?) and sharper state; I worked the back of the blade to square/sharpen the spine and to get the point to be more useful too. The handle scales were improved with a bit of light sanding as well (no hotspots now).
The blade steel is pretty standard fare, so benefits from frequent touch ups in kitchen use, and starts to rust/patina pretty quickly. No surprises there, but be forewarned. In all, this is an inexpensive yet charismatic knife that will serve you well.
I am very pleased with Oso Grande's communication and customer service as well as my Condor Bolo machete, and I will be a customer again in the future.
