The TOPS Ontario XL Hunter represents a century-old working design refined for modern expectations. This exceptional fixed-blade hunting knife brings together time-tested geometry with contemporary materials and engineering.

Featuring a strengthened 1095 Carbon Steel blade with Cerakote finish available in Midnight Bronze and Sniper Grey, the Ontario XL Hunter delivers improved corrosion resistance while maintaining the slicing performance that made the original legendary. The blade measures 5.5 inches with a thickness of 0.15 inches, providing the perfect balance between cutting efficiency and durability.

The handle construction uses heavy canvas Micarta instead of traditional wood, eliminating swelling and warping while providing a secure grip even when wet. Recessed portions where the handle meets the full-tang blade allow you to choke down for fine work like skinning and field dressing game. The knife weighs just 9 ounces, making it ideal for backcountry hunts or camp work.

Included with the knife is a high-quality brown leather sheath with a belt loop for secure, deep carry. Whether you’re processing game, preparing meals at camp, or tackling general outdoor work, the Ontario XL Hunter performs exceptionally well across all hunting and camping tasks.

Overall Length: 10.25 inches
Blade Length: 5.5 inches
Blade Steel: 1095 RC 56-58
Handle Material: Red Heavy Canvas Micarta
Knife Weight: 9.0 oz
Weight with Sheath: 13.7 oz
MSRP: $270
