Rat 1 Folding Pocket, Satin AUS-8 Stainless Steel Blade, Tan Handle Liner Lock, Everyday Carry – ON8867TN

You honestly won't find a better quality knife for the price of this Rat 1. I really like this knife a lot.The flipping action with the thumb stud is as smooth as silk and very easy to open and lock every time. The blade (at least mine) already came extremely sharp and needed no additional sharpening. The clip can go on either side and clips at the top. The thumb stud is on both sides of the blade however, the blade lock release is on the right of the handle making it somewhat right hand bias knife.This particular knife was a limited run with the D2 steel. Not all Ontario Rat 1 or 2's are D2 steel. Make sure you're checking the model numbers. The D2 steel is outstanding by the way!I wear a size Large glove and this fits very comfortably in my hand with about a 1/2 inch of the handle sticking out from the bottom of my hand. The handle is hard plastic with a slight texturing to it. Not extra snug or grippy but easy to handle and hold on to. Theres also a lanyard hole on the bottom too.If you're looking for a good quality knife with extra durable D2 tool steel, without spending too much, you found it. Grab the Ontario Rat 1 and see for yourself what all the reviewers are talking about.

I understand Ontario RAT I can be received from old new stocks but but missing out 2 screws is totally out of my expectation; very disappointed with the bad quality. In addition, the delivery package is very bad, no protection at all. I was not going to complain the package as the delivery cost had been waived. However, I would rather they charge me and provide a thin foam pack for such a long distance delivery.

Just received the RAT 1. THIS is a lot of knife for the money. The clip is secure,and the weight rides well in my jeans. There is no blade wiggle Thanks to the steel liners. The grind was very even,and the blade was well centered. The scales were very attractive,and the fit and finish was damn near perfect. The liner lock is not as fool proof as some locking systems,but serves it's purpose adequately. I have relatively small hands, and would wear a medium glove. For me,this is a 2 hand opener,rather than a flick knife. That bothers me not in the least,but it might be important to you. P.S. I can flick open the RAT 2 using it's thumb stud,but i just can't get the leverage on the RAT 1. Buyer Beware. P.S. AGAIN---------It just bit me. Yeah,i was playing with it.

A classic EDC. Use it daily, it doesnt disappoint.

This isn’t my first Rat, I’ve had a 2 for several years. Great work knife, high enough quality to get the job done but priced low enough that I don’t mind being a little rough on it. I’ve always said the Ontario Rat was the king of the beaters. I personally prefer the size of the 1 because I have very large hands but most of my friends prefer the feel of the 2, can’t go wrong either way!
