Ontario Knife Co. Epoch Framelock Folding Knife OKC9500

The Ontario Knife Co. Epoch Framelock Folding Knife is a compact, hard-use blade built for those who demand performance in a streamlined form. This knife balances utility, toughness, and tactical styling in a package that's just as capable on the jobsite as it is in the field. From the modified tanto blade to the rugged handle design, the Epoch is made to handle the unexpected and tackle everyday challenges with ease.

At the core of this folder is a 2.4" D2 tool steel modified tanto blade, built to retain its edge through heavy use. The Desert Sand coated finish not only gives it a striking look, but also adds extra corrosion resistance and durability against wear. The modified tanto tip delivers outstanding piercing power while still offering a usable cutting edge for slicing tasks—ideal for both utility work and defensive carry.

The Epoch opens fast and smooth with a manual flipper tab, giving you quick one-handed deployment without relying on springs or assist mechanisms. The secure framelock design engages firmly once the blade is deployed, giving you full confidence and control during hard use.

The handle is where function meets form. The front scale is made from textured green G-10, offering a lightweight yet grippy surface that holds strong even when wet. The rear scale is crafted from gray stainless steel, forming a rugged frame that reinforces the knife’s structure and locks the blade solidly in place. A stainless steel pocket clip rounds out the design, making it easy to carry tip-up in your pocket or on your gear.

Measuring 4.25" closed and weighing just 3.65 ounces, the Epoch carries light but performs heavy. Its sturdy materials, compact design, and no-nonsense build make it a great everyday carry option for those who value strength and reliability in their tools. Whether you're prying, piercing, or cutting your way through the day, the Ontario Epoch has your back. Order it today from SMKW!
