Ontario ASEK-AircrewTM Survival Egress Knife
The only survival/egress knife chosen by the U.S. Army for its Air Warrior Equipment System, the Rothco Ontario ASEK-Airscrew is a soldier's best friend. The knife--which measures 10.25 inches overall--features a sturdy 5-inch carbon-steel blade with a zinc phosphate finish to inhibit rust. The blade sports a serrated edge with saw teeth on the spine, along with a hardness rating of Rockwell C 50-54. The knife also includes an insulated handle that's molded over the blade guard, with a lanyard hole and glass breaker on the butt cap for good measure. The high-strength, machined-aluminum handle will not melt or shatter.To complete your survival kit, the knife comes with a flame-retardant nylon sheath, a Kydex insert, two leg protectors and straps, two oxygen valve and shackle wrenches, and a strap-cutter multi-tool (the strap cutter blade is replaceable).
