The Ontario 8515 Field Knife is a heavy-duty 18-inch carbon steel blade with D-shaped black handle — sized between a hunting knife and a machete, built for clearing brush, splitting kindling, and the hard field work that lighter knives can’t handle. The carbon steel takes an edge and holds it under repeated chopping.
Sized for surveyors, foresters, ranchers, and hunters who work in heavy brush and need a blade that can clear sapling and vine. Included retail package keeps the blade protected in shipping. Same Franklinville, NY forge as Ontario’s military bayonet contracts — built to take real work.
Ontario Knife Company has been forging knives in Franklinville, New York since 1889. Every blade is built in the same Western New York facility that supplies the U.S. military with the M9 Bayonet and ASEK survival knife — the same forge, the same heat treatment, the same finishing line.
