TOPS Knives Ontario XL Hunter
The TOPS Ontario XL Hunter is a modern rework of a true classic. Originally inspired by the legendary Old Hickory XL Hunter, this fixed blade has been redesigned and retooled for today’s users while staying true to the straightforward, hard-use spirit of the original. Designed by Ontario Knife Co. and built by TOPS, it blends old-school practicality with updated materials and construction.
The blade has been upgraded to tough 1095 carbon steel, delivering dependable edge retention and easy maintenance in the field. A Cerakote blade finish adds an extra layer of protection against corrosion and wear, making it better suited for real outdoor use. Micarta handle scales keep the weight manageable while maintaining a solid, secure feel in hand, even during extended cutting tasks.
Carried in a leather belt sheath, the Ontario XL Hunter rides comfortably and securely, adding a touch of traditional style without sacrificing function. Whether used for hunting, camp chores, or light everyday carry, this knife is a well-executed update to a timeless design. It is simple, durable, and built with purpose, just the way a working knife should be.
