The Ontario 498 Marine Combat Knife is one of Ontario's U.S. Military Issue knives. The 498 Marine Combat knife is the chosen knife of the United State Marine Forces... for good reason. One of the most popular of the Ontario knives, the 498 Marine Combat Knife measures 12" in overall length and has a 7" clip point blade that is made of rugged and reliable 1095 carbon steel, with a Zinc Phosphate finish and is .165" thick. The handle is 5" long, and is weather proofed leather (great for field use), and features a Steel buttcap. Comes complete with a black leather sheath.

Granted, the Ka Bar is fancy (I own that one too) and it sure may come out of the box cleaner and more refined. But it is the rough-around-the-edges Ontario 498 that does it for me. Will use it every day though not as an EDC in California. Put it to work in the garage or in the backyard. Give it a little TLC and it will outlive your grandkids even.
Thank you very much for the courtesy and efficiency associated with this transaction. Rest assured that I will be a return customer.
