Made of carbon steel with a dull, rust resistant "Parkerized" finish. A leather handle with deep grooves on the 499 Air Force Survival Knife provides a good grip surface even when your hand is slippery. Steel butt end can be used for hammering and the cross guard has two holes in it, which enable you to construct a spear for protection and food gathering. Leather sheath is with a belt loop and numerous holes which allow you to tie it down to just about anything and in just about any position. The Ontario Knife Company Air Force Survival Knife also has a metal reinforcing plate at the tip end and a pouch equipped with a sharpening stone.
