Field & Stream（《田野与河流》杂志，下同）的Best of the Best（最好中的最好）奖项是户外装备领域最富盛名的赞誉之一。每一年度，户外测试专家们会在Field & Stream的组织下对数百种新型户外装产品进行评价，将它们的范围缩窄到几个门类中一些最出色的装备。经过详尽的测试后，安大略刀具公司的黑鸟——由Paul Scheiter（保罗·斯切特）设计——获得了2011年度户外用刀类的“最好中的最好”奖项。
"We are very proud to have received the recognition from Field & Stream as the best knife product introduced in 2011," said Ken Trbovich. "Ontario Knife Company has always focused on knives that incorporate function, rugged materials and stylish design. The Blackbird SK-5 epitomizes this philosophy. To have it recognized as the ultimate outdoorsmen knife is a thrilling and humbling accomplishment."
“对于能获得Field & Stream的认可，荣获2011年最佳刀具产品的荣誉，我们非常自豪。” Ken Trbovich说，“安大略公司总是专注于那些集合了实用功能、耐用材料和时尚设计的刀具。黑鸟正是集中体现了这一哲学。让黑鸟获得作为户外活动者‘最后一把刀’的认可是一项惊喜和激动人心的成就。”
Paul Scheiter, the designer of the Blackbird SK-5, developed the knife with the goal of achieving maximum function, delivered through pure simplicity. "I believe that the less complicated a product is, the better it will perform when your life depends on it. The Blackbird SK-5 is comfortable to use, has ideal cutting geometry, and is extremely durable... all of the things necessary for the most demanding wilderness survival tasks. The Blackbird is a timeless classic, and I am proud to have partnered with The Ontario Knife Company in bringing this product to life. Their deep roots in American manufacturing and their commitment to delivering products that save lives are things that I deeply admire," said Scheiter.
保罗·斯切特，黑鸟的设计者，是在“通过最纯粹简约的形式去实现最强大的功能”这一目标的引领下开发出这款刀具的。“我相信一种产品越简约，当你依赖它保命的时候它就会表现得越好。基于这一原因，我设计了黑鸟来实现最强大的功能和最纯粹的简约。黑鸟具有舒适的握持、理想的切割刃型，相当便携——这一切都是荒野求生任务中最需要的特性。黑鸟堪称永恒经典，对于能与安大略刀具公司合伙将这一产品带入人们的生活，我感到很自豪。他们在美国制造业中深深扎根，以及他们提供产品以拯救生命的承诺，都令我深感佩服。”
Paul Scheiter is also the owner of the world renowned sheath company, Hedgehog Leatherworks, which produces a high performance aftermarket leather sheath for the Blackbird SK-5 Knife that is available directly through www.HedgehogLeatherworks.com
Because of its emphasis on pure function with no frills, the Blackbird has proven itself to be an invaluable tool for survivalists, soldiers, hunters, and outdoorsmen of all walks. The knife itself is comprised of a full tang 154CM high grade stainless steel blade that is fitted with black micarta handles. It is 10 inches overall, with 5 inches of sharpened blade and 5 inches of handle. At just under 3/16" thick, the knife is ideally suited to detailed carving, but also excels at tasks that involve splitting through wood. The steel is heat treated to Rockwell Hardness 58-60, and comes with a hand sharpened edge that will easily skin small and big game alike. Perhaps most importantly, ergonomics are at the forefront of this design, so the knife is comfortable to hold for prolonged periods of intense work. The package is topped off with an American made MOLLE compatible nylon sheath. All of these elements add up to deliver a "must have" survival system.
正因为其纯粹强调功能而绝不向价格因素妥协，黑鸟已经证明了它自己对于生存者、军人、猎人和其他从事户外活动的各界人士来说都是一件无价之宝。黑鸟是由一块全龙骨的154CM高等级不锈钢刀片配合神色米卡塔刀柄构成。它全长10英寸（25.4厘米），刀片和刀柄各长5英寸（12.7厘米）。以其不到十六分之三英寸（4.8毫米）的厚度，这把刀不但非常适合精细切割，而且在劈砍木头的任务中同样表现出色。钢材被处理到洛氏硬度58到60之间，与之配合的手工精细打磨的刀刃，无论是对于大型猎物还是小型猎物的剥皮都能轻易胜任。也许最重要的是，它符合人体工程学的外形设计是其设计的最强之处。因此这把刀能在长期的高强度工作后仍能实现舒适握持。刀子被装在一个美国制造的可调节MOLLE手工尼龙鞘中。所有这些细节累积起来，就构成了一整套“不得不拥有”的生存系统。
Like other Ontario Knife products, the Blackbird SK-5 complies with the Berry Amendment, as it is proudly 100 percent made in the U.S.A.
就像其他安大略产品一样，黑鸟完全符合贝瑞修正案，（美国“贝瑞修正案”(Berry Amendment)于1941年开始实施，规定美国防部在采购服装、食品、金属等军需品时，应优先考虑本国产品，尽可能采购百分之百使用美国原料和劳工生产的产品。随后《贝瑞修正案》被纳入国防拨款法案中。）而且很自豪地100%是由美国制造的。 |
