Description

The Ontario Knife Company 8601T is a blunt-point rubber training knife modeled on OKC’s FF6 Freedom Fighter fixed blade. It matches the 13.25-inch overall length and 8-inch clip point profile of the steel original, so your grip, reach, and angles in training reflect a full-size fighting knife.

The Steel FF6 and Ontario Knife Company

Ontario Knife Company was founded in 1889 in Naples, New York, and is best known for military blades like the M9 bayonet and the Air Force Survival Knife. The steel FF6 (model 8106) has an 8-inch clip point blade in black powder-coated 1095 carbon steel, a partially sharpened upper edge along the spine, a Kraton rubber handle, and a steel guard and pommel cap. The 8601T copies that outline in solid black rubber, with no edge and a rounded tip. At about 3.8 ounces, it weighs less than a third of the 13.4-ounce steel knife. It trains size, reach, and grip rather than heft.

On the Mat and Beyond

Ontario designed this trainer for law enforcement and self-defense instruction: disarm drills, Krav Maga and combatives classes, and partner work where a live blade has no place. Its 8-inch length makes it a closer stand-in for a large fighter or bayonet than the 5- and 6-inch trainers found in most gym bins. Ontario also lists airsoft and paintball players as users, and one reviewer on Ontario’s own site uses his to teach kids the parts of a knife before they handle a real one. As with any firm rubber trainer, wear eye protection during partner drills. A blunt tip can still injure an eye.

Curious About Sizing?

Given the massive variety of clothing we carry, a standard sizing guide is incredibly helpful for customers seeking the best fit.

Please understand that surplus varies widely in fit and cut and this sizing chart is general advice rather than tailor-level fitting.

Nearly every military has different sizing charts and schemes, which is why we've taken the time to put together this brief tutorial.

 

Jacket & Shirt Sizing

In absence of an established military size chart, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit to get a rough idea of how it fits. If a garment is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a shirt measures 19.75" from pit to pit, it is marked as a small rather than medium.

To measure pit to pit, close up your shirt or jacket and measure from armpit to armpit. 

This is our measurement guide that we use to measure garments without an existing military size chart:

14"-15" PtP = XXS

16-17" PtP = Extra Small

18"-19" PtP = Small

20-21" PtP = Medium

22-23" PtP = Large

24-25" PtP = Extra Large

26-27" PtP = XXL

28-29" PtP = 3XL

Pant Sizing

We typically convert pants to US waist and inseam sizes. If a pair of pants is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a pair of pants measures as a 33 waist, it is marked as a 32 waist.

To take these measurements we lay a pair of pants flat on the ground. We then measure across the waist and double the measurement. For example, if a pair of pants measures 16" across the waist it will fit a US 32 waist.

To determine inseam we measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. For example, it a pair of pants measures 30" from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff we will list it as a 30 inseam or 30L.
