Ontario Jericho J-Hook Strap Cutter

Guarded Strap Cutter

The Ontario Jericho J-Hook is a strap cutter for slicing through webbing, belts, cord and similar material quickly. The blade sits inside the throat of a hooked head, so you slide the hook under a strap and pull, and the edge cuts the material without being exposed to whatever lies underneath. That makes it a sensible tool for a vehicle, a med kit, a dive or boat bag, or a load-bearing rig where a jammed strap may need to come off fast.

Features

• Recessed Hook Blade — The cutting edge is set deep inside the J-shaped hook, so it meets the strap and not the skin or clothing beneath it.
• Pull-Through Cutting Action — You hook the tip under a strap and draw the tool toward you, which takes less precision than a conventional knife in a hurry.
• Finger-Grooved Grip — Scalloped cutouts along the lower edge give your fingers a positive hold for a firm pull.
• Molded Black Body — The handle and hook are formed as a single black piece with no folding parts to open or lock.
• Lanyard Slot — An oblong opening near the head takes a cord, lanyard or tie-down so the cutter can be tethered where you can reach it.
• Steel-Tipped Head — A pointed metal tip is set into the end opposite the hook.
• Fixed One-Piece Design — Nothing to unfold or deploy, so the cutter is ready the moment it is in your hand.

Build And Handling

The Jericho J-Hook is made by Ontario Knife Company. It uses a long, flat profile with the guarded hook at one end and the steel-tipped head at the other. The grip sits between them, and the finger grooves line up with the direction you pull. Because the blade is enclosed, the cutter can ride loose in a glovebox, kit bag or door pocket more safely than an open edge.
