Ontario is a brand I have considered, and will again. I can't help but wonder if their name confuses folks, so I thought I'd copy and paste the first paragraph concerning their history.
"The beginnings of the Ontario Knife Company are shrouded in the mystery of a fading past. It seems certain that three men – William B. Ensworth, Charles Albert Brace and William Maudsley, were in the picture from the start at Naples, New York, in 1889. The name of the Company derived from Ontario County where Naples was situated. The early knives were manufactured on a waterpower-run grindstone and sold via pushcart through the neighboring countryside."
Here's a link to their site:

I just bought an OKC RAT (original size) to replace a travel folder that TSA managed to lose last week between dfw and phx.
Fantastic lock up. Smooth deployment. Sharp out of the box. AUS8 steel. $27 from Amazon.
Like it a lot.
I ordered this and have been carrying it for a month. I have put my benchmade through hell and wanted to give it a break. This have been a great knife. Other than missing the one push button open, i have no complaints
