Vietnam War U.S. Air Force Pilot’s Survival Knife with Sheath by Ontario – 1969

Description

This is a genuine U.S. military-issued pilot’s survival knife from the Vietnam War era, manufactured by the Ontario Knife Company. The knife’s pommel is clearly stamped “ONTARIO N.Y. 1969,” confirming its maker and its production year. It features a durable, clip-point blade with saw teeth on the spine for cutting through aircraft fuselage. The ribbed leather washer handle is in solid condition.

The knife comes with its original brown leather sheath, which is fitted with the sharpening stone pouch and a snap-button closure. The sheath has a metal reinforcement at the bottom to prevent the tip from poking through. Both the knife and sheath show authentic signs of use and wear, which is desirable for genuine military surplus. This is a must-have for any serious collector of Vietnam War militaria or military edged weapons.
