My sheath is dated 1986, I joined the Army in 1985. I still to this day over 34 yrs now use this Machete. I just used it yesterday to clear limbs that I fell and it made short work of it all. Awesome tool for the money!
Ontario are a great company. American made, often 1095 machetes all under 50 bucks. Meeting and exceeding the standards set by their imported and rebranded peers.
My dad still has his from the Army from back in 1969, they used to have a smooth plastic handle till the 90s when plastic handles would got replaced with rubber or etched scales on the original plastic handles.
I got the Ontario 6145 model (military issue non-saw back model). They're a bit hard to sharpen because the steel is SUPER hard (1095 high carbon) but these things are absolute MONSTERS in the bush. I've easily hacked down 5 1" dense wood (Azalea bush) trunks simultaneously in one stroke!
Master Tracker I got the 12" and the 18" Ontarios a couple years ago. I presume the specs haven't changed. They both measure 0.13" thick, and are 17 oz and 21 oz respectively according to my kitchen scale. They are nice and stiff vs the much thinner traditional machetes(like the excellent Tramontinas). The extra weight lets them chop more like a golok/parang than the usual "Latin" or "bush" style machetes more suited to slashing and clearing light brush. The much lighter Ontario "Econo" versions that are available are only 0.08" thick. Hope that helps. Stay safe.
j greystoke Thank you very much J Greystoke . I totally agree with your input regarding thickness of the Tramontina versus the Ontario . Decent of you to reply and Best Wishes my friend .
Avoid celebrity blade manufacturers that compromised their reputation by branding China-made crap for whatever reason. Buy Made in USA if you want high-quality for your hard-earned money.
I’ve had the smooth back one for 25-30 years. The blade design and balance out performs any other machete I have tried. Recently saw them on Amazon and ordered me a 2nd one and one for a buddy. $21.00. Great machete, especially for the price.
I use an old one with the non-saw back & canvas sheath. Saved mine from the trash. I was helping an old man clean up/out his garage and he was going to pitch it in the trash. I use it all the time at work for cleaning up fence rows and what have you. I just keep a small flat file in the sheath to tend to the blade. It lives on the side of my BOB bag.
Thanks for your vid! You mention the Gerber machetes, do you know if a Gerber Gator Senior would fit in your hard plastic Ontario machete field case? i was considering getting one for my Gerber if they fit well enough in the sheath. Cheers, Row
I've done some clearing with mine, honeysuckle. It was fantastic to slice through thick mats of vines and then I would use the teeth on the back to grapple the loose vines and give then a pull to clear them away. It is very efficient to use in clearing brush and pulling it out of the work area without having to put the tool down. Great design.
I spend a lot of days in the woods with a machete in my hand. The Ontario is a great blade, but it does need work. That lanyard hole is easy to open up as the plastic is what restricts the hole, the tang hole in the blade is a decent size. I used a rasp and metal file to shape the plastic into a better fit taking out the gap in the spine and rounding the belly out. Once i did that i Plasti Dipped (in my work Orange is a preferred color) the Plasti fills in some of the gaps and adds a slip resistant texture. Last thing to do was add a 550 lanyard so if your using it it wont slip and go flying. over all one of the better blades i have used. be careful with the saw back as i have seen them break at the teeth as the teethe weaken the spine
That one brings back memories. Uncle gave me several so never paid a cent. It’s a good machete. Never had one with teeth nor a plastic sheath. My last one did have the sharpener though.
I have ther same sheath that you do but when i attempt to stick my machete in there is a brass fitting that is marring it up. Do i have to buy another sheath?
Ontario sure makes a good machete. Its nothing fancy and it gets the job done. They are also extremely durable! I've had mine since the early 90's and it was an older one when I got it, very possibly Vietnam era. The scales appear to be some other black material than what Ontario uses for handle material now, or the stuff is just petrified? The scales and rivets loosened up and I duct taped the handle back then. I recently removed the old filthy & sticky "duct rag" handle and wrapped it with silicone tape for a better grip. I've also given it one of those new OD green sheaths you got there, although I still have the black leather sheath it came with. Mine has been through a lot of abuse over the years and is itself a testament to what a great machete they make.
+CyberHitchhiker I have the same era made one, we found a foot locker full of them when I was active beck in the early 90's, have been using ever since. has the nylon type sheath and was probable VietNam era. It was found in a conex that had Nam era stuff in it that hadn't been opened in 20+ years at the time. I think the finish is Black Zinc Oxide. mine just has a few little rust spots due to my fault over the years.. and It has gone through Panama twice, great blade!
Just to add my thoughts, I have the 12" and 2 of the 18" Ontarios. ALL of them had loose compression rivits in the handles within a few minutes of working on hard wood. My neighbor and Vietnam vet commented when he saw them that they always had the handles fall off and wrapped them in rags to keep working. I replaced all the handles with polypropoline put on with brass rod and 2 ton epoxy and have had no more problems. It's a tough great steel and great design, but crappy handle construction. I'm guessing they are made for fast and easy replacement by the military re-aquistion department.
the older handles thaat were rounded feel much better, i used one of these for years while surveying, if you want a good machete get an ontario. i did break one once but still they are the best ive seen
I have a GI Issue Ontario 18" Machete, mine is with a canvas sheath, I want to up-grade to a plastic sheath, but can you move the sharpener out of the way, so it doesn't always sharpens the blade ?, if you can move it out of the way, I'm getting one.
+totallyfrozen Kewl Thanx, It's that time of the year to take my machetes out of hibernation. .Like I mentioned I have a 18" Military Machete (O.K.C.). But I also like my Heavy Duty Machete. It's a 22", but with a D-ring Handle and designed by Blackie Collins. In my State, with the brambles, you sort of need a long knife. I alternate between my go to and Fav's, my Rodent Rucki, I can baton, chop and because of the choil I can continue to use it as a knife to sometimes finish the job. Another Fav's is my Johnson Adventure Parangatang which I like teaming up with the Potbelly and my Top's Mini Scandi 2.5. a almost complete set especially when I add a Wicked Tough Saw. I enjoy this set up on my Afternoon Delights which is a hot cup of coffee on the open fire and a baked potato, Easy as Sunday morning and it allows me to sharpen my skills even when it's raining..Infact I put together a Lite Set just recently. I had some Camo Purses, I think their purses because tgeir made by Far Nine, But they look very masculine with pockets and it's camo, so I use them as Haversacks. My Lite Trio fits nicely plus the basic 5 C's..I even have a set of binoculars in one of the pockets so I can check out the scenery better, It's lite and easy to carry and hold's everything I need and organized. But yeah, when we go out for over night ears or extended trips, a lite shovel, or either my military trench shovel (1942) but in great condition or my Black and Decker Garden Shovel is brought with us and ofcource the heavy duty machete. I also like my Woodsman Pal Premium Machete, But that extra lenght does help clearing an area out in a short time. I just enjoy going out, exploring, checking out nature, relaxing and enjoy smoking a good cigar with a hot cup of coffee, It just doesn't get any better.
Thanks for the video, Just wanted to share this.. I see a lot of guys "modding" these but I don't see them touching the sawback.. Ontario Sawback Machete Modification
that was the first machete i ever bought, about 2 years ago. it is lightyears better than BG machete. only problem i have with it is that the rivet close to the blade tends to get some play after chopping. nice vid
kind of a bummer for a $58 machete (price now) without a damn sheath., but much respect using that trusted 1095 carbon, heat treated steel though. This machete has better steel than medium priced Japanese Katana's .
First because I tell you. Lol. Thanks bro. I does look like Jason's. Don't think he had the serrated version. I need to get some ranger bands on the handle. As bear would say it is a bit slippy.
PerceptionVsReality they were designed to be worn on a military web belt that has grommetted holes for attachments like a canteen or ammo pouch, first aid, etc.
When I was younger my dad and my neighbor both gave me this machete when they got back from Panama /Honduras. Used them until they looked like Grandma's potato knife
The sawback isn't really meant for cutting wood, it's more for cutting through the brush, the sawback helps in that regard so it's better than the flat back for... cutting through the brush.
Hello from Greece.I've got the same machete from a greek store,my sheath too has "1991" on it and "SWI".Now,I'm probably way younger than you are,I was born in 1983,you got yours in the early '90s,I did just 2-3 years ago.But one thing I gotta say is that it's the most dangerous bladed item I have.I mean even it's even sharper and sturdier than the katana and wakizashi that I have(Made in Taiwan,not original of course)and even the hunting knife.Although I'm usually very very careful around these things,I did manage to somehow cut my finger a bit on the blade once.And though the cut was tiny,it was nasty.So yeah,I think,like you said this is the real deal,a really good machete and not like all the modern silly things sold by a gazillion knife companies ;)
Using it wrong....cut from an angle and use the top 6-8 inches of a machete. It's safer and sharper. If you use the middle like this guy and it accidently hits a stone at the right angle...the blade can break and SLAP YOU. VERY DANGEROUS.REMEMBER ; MACHETES HAVE A DANGEROUS HABIT OF BREAKING OR WORST...RICOCHETING. - Be safe
I realy like mine and I have it in my black nylon sheath and I have it on my alice pack it's not atall heavy 9n the bag I some times forger I gave it attached
Yes I'm not a fan of US made things but as far as knifes and machettes go US made are the best. Gerber, Ontario, Cold Steel and KA-BAR are the best. I have the ontario 18" blade machette. I like it so much I'm ordering another one
i love mine it never fails. once you know how to use it you can cut clean through some significant stuff in one swing. i just wish the handle was a little more comfortable
The machete might be nice, but there are literally zero good sheath options for it. All the Rothco products are horrendous. I bought this machete from Amazon. I want to keep it. I just don't know how to justify keeping it, when a decent sheath will cost me 5 times the price of the machete. I have a few Cold Steel 1055HC machetes. I'm not sure if they're going away due to Cold Steel selling out to GSMOutdoors. But, they at least provide decent sheaths for their machetes. Heck, Marbles sells better sheaths for their machetes. For such a nice machete, it's beyond my understanding as to why there's not a good off-the-shelf sheath for it. The sheath Ontario sells is garbage. And yes, the polymer Rothco sheath DOES scratch off the black rust inhibiting coating. In the days of PALS/MOLLE, they're selling you sheaths made for 1970s/1980s equipment, and they aren't even good. Ontario provides better sheaths for their Spec Plus line of knives. I'm not sure what's wrong with their marketing team.
@@schizoidman9781 if you're referring to the blade steel I have no idea. If you're referring to the steel on the sheath it's definitely sub par and the finish is basically a gloss black paint.
wooohooo , I love being the first to comment . this is a cool video , I like the machete . it reminds me of the one Jason uses . it looks like it has some weight to it . I love the built in sharpener .
Nossos amigos yankees precisam receber umas aulas sobre como usar o machete, venham até a Amazônia brasileira que vós ensino hehehehe, Brincadeira senhores, mas se você cortar sempre em "V" vai obter um desempenho melhor que golpes paralelos! Um abraço!
Still have one from being stationed in Guam back in the mid 80's. So a good bet they've been making them since Vietnam at least.

Have had one since the late 1980’s when I was 11BRAVO in the Guard it’s still going strong 💪😄👍
To answer a question from your video, Ontario has been providing these machetes to the US military since the 1940s (World War II).

Rothco makes a molle sheath that is awesome to strap to your pack if you put the G.I. sheath inside of it.
3:09 Used for Hunting, Adventurers, Surveyors and Shoulders??? Weird.
I've had mine since 2015 I've put it through the harshest use since then & still going strong.
I would love to get the plastic case for my 12" okc Machete.

i got this one with out the saw back on it to me the Ontario milspec machete with the tramontinas are the best blades for the buck
I saw a guy grind lines on the handle with a drumel tool, or I guess you can file or saw some lines on it.
SHOULDERS?

I got a 12 inch about 4 years ago when the rivets came loose I used a small tap and die set that fixed it
Hi, glad that you support made in USA, can you tell me where you got that sheath?
i bought the sheath on amazon.com
Buggingin Thank you
Dip the handle in flex seal and let it dry.
I've had two from when I was stationed in Hawaii 35 years ago. One tough durable machete. Best machete value next to a Phillipine bolo.
Gerber Machete Junior Sucks. The blade - the sharpened edge - peeled off from chopping use on my second boy scout trip with it.
the older handles thaat were rounded feel much better, i used one of these for years while surveying, if you want a good machete get an ontario. i did break one once but still they are the best ive seen
Just ordered a Used one on EBay with the 91 Dated sheath for $35. As soon as I saw he listing I knew I had to order it since that was an amazing deal
I just got one of these machetes from a military surplus store, and i can confirm the plastic sheath still says "1991 Machete".
I have a GI Issue Ontario 18" Machete, mine is with a canvas sheath, I want to up-grade to a plastic sheath, but can you move the sharpener out of the way, so it doesn't always sharpens the blade ?, if you can move it out of the way, I'm getting one.
The sharpener is on a swivel. It's not so much as sharpener as it is a scraper to remove sap or other dirt from the blade.

how much the old machete i have a 1968 marmac
I made steel at crucible in solvay .
They make steel for kabar , ontario , others.
I carried one at Fort Polk, Louisiana when I was in the Army. They are heavy but tough! I prefer "Tramontina" machetes made in Brazil.
I got this machete I don't know to get the case to go on belt
Where'd you get that sheath? Buggingin
Do they come sharpened?
amazon doesn't have the best prices. he said 28 bucks, I paid 19 for mine

Ontario machete is the real deal, I have 3, been using them for years, priced good , lots of high tech machetes out there but this is the best
Damn good machetes. Good quality
does the sawback work well, I bought a flat back thinking I could baton with it.
The sawback isn't really meant for cutting wood, it's more for cutting through the brush, the sawback helps in that regard so it's better than the flat back for... cutting through the brush.
