Ontario Knife CompanyRat I Folding Pocket Knife, Black Coated AUS-8 Stainless Steel Drop Point Blade, OD Green Nylon Handle Knife, Everyday Carry Knife – ON8846OD

Either the RAT-1 or the RAT-2 by Ontario Knife Company may very well be, dollar for dollar, one of the best pocket knife deals going. What they lack in 'fancy' they more than make up for in sturdy, easy to deploy, and just plain comfortable to hold on to. I have gotten into the habit of adding a SnaggleTooth LLC quick deploy opener 'tooth' for instant one handed opening, yet staying legal where I live. This is quicker than any automatic or butterfly knife, and it won't upset the locals like those other types do. I also add lanyards or rings to aid in a rapid draw from the pocket. All things considered, this pattern, in either size, is tough to beat and that at a price if one grows feet and walks off, you won't break the bank replacing it.

Excellent value for the money. It is larger than I thought it would be but still a good size for edc in my opinion. The only thing I would change is the protrusion of the liner lock. It is a bit too recessed into the handle for my taste but overall this is a five star knife due to the cost and quality. AUS8 holds the blade very well.

I should have bought one of these long ago when I first learned about them. Might purchase one in a more premium steel in the future as I like the feel of the knife. Blade came mostly sharp, but could stand some finish sharpening and honing. Finished sharpening just to remove the naked eye visible tool marks from the factory edge.

Love most everything about this knife. Price was outstanding for the quality, color and design style are great. The knife would be perfect if it had a flipper tab. It does have the thumb stud but doesn’t deploy nearly as fast as having a flipper tab. Aside from that, I’d buy this knife again in a heartbeat.

- original price when it was first our was closer to 70-80$ range. To grab it at 25-35 is amazing.- direct out of box . Looks great. Handle is comfortable, I have wider thicker hands. Not shaving sharp but with some extra sharpening it can be. Cut effortlessly.- medium weight I love a knife with a little heft. Gives great wielding power.I split wood, chopped away at smaller logs branches, sliced meat, veggies. I very aggressively used this knife an entire weekend. It did big knife jobs. I'll re sharpen it but the steel is tough as hell and really solid. Perfect grip for detailed work as well just amazing knife

Some of the best value for the money knives you will ever get. Razor sharp out of the box. Smooth action. Multiple carry options. The only gripe I have isnthe od green does not match my other rat1 knife. But who cares

nice knife but the black coating wears off really fast. if i had to buy another i would chose stainless steel finish instead of the black coating

Just got it, but the blade feels nice, was coated for rust prevention, factory sharp edge. And, finally, the stupid T6 screws didn't strip the heads out when I went to switch them to tip up carry. Came loctited too so you don't crank em down so hard they strip. Arrived a day early so I'm happy. Both my reviews are the same as they are the same knife minus color, same seller, same delivery day. If I could figure out how to add pics on mobile I would show the knife on MARPAT camo, it blends in really well.
