The article by Randall Chaney discusses the development and features of the U.S. Navy Mark 3 MOD 0 knife, a diving and survival tool designed for Navy sailors, notably the SEALs. Produced by the Ontario Knife Company from the early 1980s, the knife aimed to address the impracticalities of previous knives used underwater. It features a stainless steel blade for corrosion resistance, a partially tapered clip point for strength, and a thermoplastic handle for electrical insulation, making it suitable for underwater environments. Despite its utility, some SEALs found the knife heavy and its blade easily dulled, although improvements were made over time. The MK 3 MOD 0 knife holds historical significance within naval operations, with its production having ceased after the Ontario Knife Company's closure in 2023. The article also mentions the enduring legacy of the knife and its availability on the civilian market.
