"Old Hickory" is a brand produced by the Ontario Knife Company of Western New York. The company was founded in 1889, but the styles go back much further. The blades are carbon steel (1095) and are heat treated for a combination of edge retention and ease of sharpening. They come with hardwood handles pinned with brass rivets. They are similar to the knives carried by early hunters before specialized "hunting knives" were introduced in the late 1800's. Like the Swedish Moras, their utility is all out of proportion to the trivial cost. No sheath is provided.
