The Ontario Butcher Knife

The Ontario Knife Company was founded in 1889 in Ontario County, New York, and built a reputation over 130 years for producing high-quality knives for military, law enforcement, and professional kitchen use. This 160mm butcher knife is a compact, nimble blade - ideal for trimming, portioning, and detail butchery work where a larger knife would be unwieldy. The fully forged high carbon steel blade sharpens to a finer edge than stainless and develops a natural patina with use. One-of-a-kind and not available anywhere else.

Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash only - never dishwasher
• Dry immediately after washing to prevent rust
• Apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil to the blade if storing long-term
• Sharpen with a whetstone - high carbon steel responds exceptionally well to sharpening
• A natural patina will develop with use - this is normal and desirable
