I bought the Old Hickory after a minor epiphany. It began when I was trying to sharpen a paring knife that I use all the time in spite of the fact that it's almost dull to the point of uselessness. It's a Chicago Cutlery knife which is made from some mysterious stainless steel, and needless to say I was just ripping minute chunks out of the blade without really improving the edge a bit. It occurred to me all at once that I would never tolerate such poor quality in a camping or hunting knife, but I have never questioned the overt lousiness of my kitchen knives.
Part of the reason for that is that I see no need to spend a ton of cash on something for chopping vegetables and cutting sandwiches. I looked around, and saw that the Ontario Old hickory knives were pretty cheap,and made from 1095 carbon steel. I had used that steel extensively in the field, and knew it would take both a harsh beating and an razor's edge, so I figured I'd give one a try. When I got the Old Hickory, I spent a few minutes on it with an Arkansas stone, and sure enough I was cutting paper with it in no time. For kicks, I tried that with the Chicago cutlery, and it just tore the sheet. You can see the results in my customer image.
Nothing is perfect. Old Hickory knives look awful. They won't be shiny like stainless unless you polish them all the time (and you shouldn't do that). They will rust if you don't wash and dry them after you use them. You will have to touch up the edge once in a while, and the handles are uncomfortable.
On the other hand, the cheapest knife in my drawer is now razor sharp. When it gets a little dull, I'll run it across a stone a few times and be good to go. Now that my expectations have been met by this unassuming paring knife, I think I'll buy a full set of Old Hickories, pitch out my other knives, and call it good.

This paring knife fits the hand well for all but the biggest (maybe) and smallest hands. It was made to be used daily, not just admired. Just remember it is not "stainless" and it can rust easily. Wash it quickly by hand and wipe it off and you're fine.
I have about 8 Old Hickory knoves (a couple or so that Ontarion Knives evidently doesn't make since acquiring the brand) and I love them all. You would have to put up a heck of a fight to take them from me. Also, they make really great gifts for beginning cooks. They're inexpensive for what they do and all but impossible to hurt as long as you wash them by hand and dry them quickly.

That said, the cost of this product line is really reasonable. This is a well-made & robust but inexpensive utility knife you won't fret about if it goes missing. Without a full tang I don't think you'd baton wood with it, & handle is too small to make a good bush knife. Perfectly good for leatherwork, camp kitchen work, general utility use. Perfect for what is intended to accomplish.
Just be very carefull you dry it well.
