BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The ONTOS (from the Greek language "the thing") is a pure field knife, solid and heavy but still compact. A portion of the upper blade is serrated in order to always have a sharp edge ready to be used.

A survival kit is carried in a pocket which is fastened to the nylon sheath by a M.O.L.L.E. system, making the Ontos a true survival tool. A fluorescent stick (lasting for 12 hours) and a diamond sharpener are also included.
The survival kit contains: Water bag, Nylon cord, Button compass, Candle, Flint & Striker, Fishing kit, Mini multi-tool, Matches, Sewing kit, Purification tablets, Single edge razor, Mayday mirror, Whistle, Snare wire, Wire saw, Pencil, Survival instructions.
