Ontario XM-1
The thickness of this folder is the first thing that catches your attention. The XM-1 is built for a comfortable grip and dependable control whether you’re bare-handed or wearing gloves. The large ergonomic handle, and all other aspects of this knife for that matter, were designed by the Ontario Knife Company for longevity during hard military use, while being low maintenance in the field. It’s one of the heaviest folders in this list, weighing in at 6 ounces. The drop-point blade is 3.375 inches long and crafted from N690Co stainless steel with a hardness of 58-60 HRC, which translates into years of dependable service though adverse conditions.
