The Ontario Knife Company XM Strike Fighter knife is a large, heavy-duty knife designed for combat and survival applications. The blade is made of 1095 carbon steel with a black oxide finish, and is full-tang with a double-edged spear point. The handle is made of black Micarta with finger grooves and a lanyard hole. The sheath is made of black Kydex with a belt loop.
The XM Strike Fighter knife has an overall length of 12.75 inches, with a blade length of 7.5 inches. The blade is 0.19 inches thick at the spine and tapers to a sharp point. The handle is 5.25 inches long, and the sheath adds another 2 inches to the length. The knife weighs 14 ounces without the sheath, and 18 ounces with the sheath.
This is a large, well-built knife that feels solid and substantial in the hand. The blade is razor sharp out of the box, and can easily handle any task you throw at it. The full-tang construction ensures that the blade will not snap or break under heavy use, and the black oxide finish gives it superior corrosion resistance. The Micarta handle provides a comfortable grip even when wet, and the finger grooves help keep your hand from slipping forward onto the blade during use. The Kydex sheath is tough and durable, and keeps the knife securely in place when not in use.
The XM Strike Fighter knife is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality combat/survival knife that won't let them down when they need it most
