SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Ontario Black Bird ML5 is a no-frills, hard-working fixed blade built for the backcountry, the field, or anywhere else you need dependable steel at your side. Designed with simplicity, strength, and practicality in mind, this full tang knife delivers the kind of all-purpose utility serious outdoorsmen and bushcrafters demand.
It features a 5-inch drop point blade made from 420HC stainless steel, known for its solid edge retention and excellent corrosion resistance. The mirror polish gives it a clean, classic look while adding a touch of rust resistance in wet environments. With a .13-inch blade thickness and a full tang profile, the ML5 has the backbone for everything from game prep to woodcraft.
The handle is made from contoured swirled Micarta, giving you a rock-solid grip in any weather, wet or dry. Micarta’s natural texture and warmth in the hand make it a favorite for serious users who don’t baby their tools. Black-coated stainless steel hardware holds everything tight, and the lanyard hole offers options for added security or quick access.
At 10 inches overall and weighing in at a full pound, this knife balances stoutness with manageability. It carries comfortably in its included black leather belt sheath—rugged, classic, and built to last. Whether you’re building a fire, dressing game, or setting up camp, the Black Bird ML5 is built to do the work.
Proudly made in the USA and ready to serve, this fixed blade’s straightforward design and durable build make it a reliable companion in any serious kit.
