Fidgetability!

Posted by Barry Evans on 22nd Feb 2021

Bought this after originally buying a Spyderco Chaparral and feeling the urge to try others! So glad I did!! Being somewhat larger, the Rat1 fills the hand so much more and feels very comfortable, especially with the forefinger choil at the top of the handle and the jimping in the thumb position on top of the spine! Love the upgraded D2 steel over the old Aus8, great edge retention and glides through every day tasks. But for me it’s the fidget factor, literally within a week of playing with it and it loosening up, the snap of flicking it open with the slightest of wrist movement is unbelievably satisfying!! The blaze orange scales make it incredibly easy to locate (if you like that kinda thing!) Blade is still perfectly centred and sharp, as was straight out of the box! So good imho, I’ve just ordered the R2D2 with tan scales + satin blade!! Epic Comms + delivery time from HH as always, can’t wait to try the “little brother” when it arrives!!

Rapid service from Heinnie as usual. I gave the blade a tickle and a strip as with most from new. The scales on the knife are great I won’t lose it in the woods. Blade centering is spot on, fit and finish are good, no wiggles or play where there shouldn’t be. The blade has a nice strong stable lock up. Ergonomics are good (I am a size 10 large work glove) my only grumble on ergonomics is that I’m left handed and the unlocking and stowing of the blade is more cumbersome due to the liner lock being setup for a right handed person. This is really minor and doesn’t bother me really. The knife was bought as an outdoors knife for situations where a fixed blade isn’t practical, For example walking with the family, doing a bit of foraging and not carrying out major camp tasks. The knife doesn’t take up too much pocket space but is considerably larger than my UK friendly EDC (spyderco urban). Overall a great knife, I’m glad I waited and the orange one came to the UK market. I originally wanted an R2D2 but the orange scales made my mind up.
