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 BasketThis is a great knife the fit and finish is is very good for the price,. The reason I'm only giving it 3 stars is because of one small thing, the Logo on the clip is way off centre which look ugly but apart from that I love it. Great service from H H as usual !!
First off, everything that everyone's been saying about the RAT Model 1 is true, both lit's fans and it's critics...As it's detractors would tell you, it IS a bit boring (some might even say ugly) looking, but once you handle it, it all starts to make sense. The aesthetics have been entirely driven by practical ergonomics, and it just fits into your hand perfectly. The blade geometry is great, with a great quality grind, and the steel takes (and keeps) a really good edge. The ramped section of the blade is actually a genius feature, as it means that the centre of the blade tip is above the pivot. This means that any point work translates to pressure on the stop pin and pivot, and not on the liner lock, so even in the event of the lock failing (which is unlikely- it's absolutely rock solid), the blade wouldn't want to close on your hand. It's got a nice bit of jimping on there too, should you want to choke up on the blade. I'm not usually a big fan of FRN, but these scales really suit the knife, and don't feel plasticky or cheap. Yes, if I could, I'd swap them for G10, but they are perfectly useable as is, and I wouldn't really want to pay more for them. In some ways, as it is, it's more likely to get some hard use, rather than just become part of my collection. The action is pretty amazing, given that its running on bronze, it f*s like a blade running on bearings! Honestly, everyone should have one of these, they're just such a practical workhorse!
