I used these growing up, so I'm a little partial to them. Generally they are well balanced knives, with blades that hold an edge pretty well. These knives are durable, and comfortable to use in any application. The holsters are solid, and the whetstones are functional, if small. For the price, they work well, although there are no chambers in the pommel as you may remember from older models or similar designs, so you'll have to keep your fishing line, matches, or miniature compasses elsewhere. Not the BEST knives for self defense, or throwing, IMHO, but, again, wonderful for producing kindling, building an emergency shelter, cutting yourself free of entanglement, etc. I wouldn't try to fillet a fish with one, but you could really lash this down and make a decent spear. The leather handles are very sympathetic to the hands, and won't slip when water-logged.Read full review

I have a few of these and Ontario is by far the best quality survival knife made. Good weight, durable leather handle, very sharp blade with special finish, great leather holster with metal reinforced critical areas, special holster with sharpening stone which will also fit on a utility belt and cord to strap to your leg. Great for any survivalist, military or Boy Scout in training to hunt, forage, build shelters, etc....I love them and keep one in the house, car and back packs.

I have an appreciation for good quality knifes. This Ontario 499 Air Force Pilot Knife is a quality knife at a reasonable price. The workmanship on the knife is exceptional. The workmanship on the sheath is just as impressive. American quality at its best! If your looking for easy to carry, easy to conceal utility knife, this is it!

Good Value in a piece of American Military History. Knife arrived in decent shape, leather handle was slightly dry, which caused the hilt to be a little loose, though bees wax soaked into the leather helped moisturize it causing things to tighten up. Sharp & ready to go.
