Ontario Knife Company
Randall's Adventure Training has been designing, marketing, and selling survival and military-style knives since their first survival courses in the Amazon Jungle of Peru. One of their first designs was the RTAK which was built by Newt Livesay's Wicked Knife Company before Ontario Knife Company produced the design. ESEE also produced and sold the RAT skinning/survival knife made by John Greco and the RAT Laser Strike knife made by TOPS (ESEE has since re-introduced the Laser Strike as an ESEE knife). Randall's Adventure Training also designed the following knives for Ontario Knife Company: RTAK II, TAK, RAT-7, RAT-5, RAT-3, Model 1 folder and the Model 2 folder.
The Ontario RAT Model 2 from Randall's Adventure Training is a scaled down of the wildly popular RAT-1. It's another folding EDC knife that can withstand hard use and abuse associated with hunting or survival tasks. For the money, there might not be a better knife on the market that can match the performance of Ontario Knife Company's RAT Model 2. It features an ergonomic handle with smooth action and rock-solid lockup. The four-position pocket clip allows the user to customize their carry method to their liking. We absolutely love the off-set blade from the handle, which gives this knife a rare and unique look that distinguishes this knife from all the rest. If you are looking to add a new knife to your EDC rotation (or you think it would make a great fit for a survivalist, hunter, backpacker, or friend), rest assured you're making the right choice when you go with an Ontario RAT Model 2. This RAT 2 features a tough blade made from D2, an air hardened tool steel with high wear and abrasion resistant properties.

Great
I love this little knife. It's small, but I feel like I could do work with it. Fit and finish is great, wish the action was a little smoother. It's small enough to fit nicely in a pocket, but sturdy enough that you could do some real work with it, not just cut boxes. I really like the blade design and the handle fits nice in the hand. I have larger hands, and while it feels a little small, it's still comfortable to use. I liked the Model 2 enough to buy its big brother the Model 1.

Rat Model 2
I've had this knife a couple weeks now and while I'm not stating that this is been ran over by an army tank I will say without a doubt this is a nice little carry knife you will be sure to like. It's well designed and solid, D2 steel with pronounced thumb stud for easy opening and good lock up. Nice looking knife in all it's colors. I'm glad I purchased the Rat 2 and it's a Randall design.
