The Ontario RAT series is right up there with the best of the best in utility knife design.
Beautifully balanced and now with a D2 carbon steel blade this will be your go to pocket knife for work, at home or out in the wilds. The RAT I is the bigger brother of the RAT II with a little more heft, designed for the larger hand for some seriously tough work.
The blade is unbelievably sharp out of the box and will not need sharpening as often as a standard stainless. The handle is FRN (Fibre Reinforced Nylon) with stainless liners and a precise linerlocking mechanism. There is a lanyard hole to personalise with your favourite lanyard and a black coated stainless pocket clip which is removable for tip up or tip down carry

Add to BasketI have several knives, both fixed and folding, and have collected since the 1980s when everyone was sensible. The RAT-1 is a super knife for the money and I use it indoors regularly (box cutting, mostly). Can be opened snappily using the thumb stud and locks securely.
Liked this knife so much I bought another one.
Just received my rat 1 and have to say I'm very impressed with it.love the weight the fit and finish and smooth opening action.only down side is we pay a bit more for these in the UK.overall highly recommend
If you need a knife to do the job. This is the right knife. Good value for money. The steel holds its edge very well. Easy to sharpen. At this price, I don't know what could be better. I hope that the 2023 model will be on sale soon. With red G10 and S35VN blade.
Amazing service from Heinnie, had a call from Marie to change couriers. The knife is lovely, very smooth opening & closing action. Very well put together, nothing feels loose at all. The blade is very nice and sharp, and comes with a thin coating of oil to protect the D2 blade.
Another fine knife from Heinnie Haynes. Definitely a handful of sturdy cutting power. Excellent fit and finish and really great ergonomics. Smooth easy opening and closing. I chose the D2 version as it should stay sharp about twice as long as the AUS8 version. There should be no problem with corrosion as I look after all my knives properly. Sharpening will also be straightforward, in spite of D2s reputation. I have decades of experience using every type of sharpener and a DMT diamond sharpener will make short work of any loss of slicing ability. The full flat grind makes the knife an excellent slicer. My only minor gripe is that the cutting edge isn't quite as long as one would like for such a large knife. Definitely a lot of knife for the money. My S30V knives don't get enough sustained use to justify the extra price and miniscule difference in performance over D2. This knife will definitely get plenty of use in the woods and on the hills and as a great picnic tool. Just a pity I can't carry it around locally as an EDC. Great knife! Thanks!
This is my 4th RAT, one RAT 2 D2 in my pocket now perfect size. Had 2 RAT 1 in AUS8 really nice fit in the hand both given to friends how adored them. This one in D2 is mine no one is getting this PERFECT as is HH
Excellent knife and the D2 upgrade really is just that. Love this thing so much I bought another, can't say more than that.
Excellent knife, great ergonomics, very good value. Once sharpened up it is all I need .
