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 1 from Randall's Adventure Training is a folding EDC knife that can withstand hard use and abuse associated with tactical or survival tasks. For the money, there might not be a better knife on that market that can match the performance of the RAT Model 1. 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 creates a unique look we rarely see in a knife and distinguishes it from all the rest. Whether you need to add a new knife to your EDC rotation (or you think it would make a great fit for a survivalist, serviceman or woman, or a true friend), rest assured you're making the right choice when you go with an Ontario RAT Model 1.

Ontario RAT Model 1 Folding Knife 3.6" Black Plain Blade, Desert Tan Nylon Handles
I have this with the uncoated blade. I normally don't consider giving a 5 star rating to a blade under $100, but this one makes me break my rules. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this knife. Keep it cleaned and oiled and it's good to go. If you want details-------> The F&F are great. The traction provided by the scales is quite good. The blade was dead center. It was sharp OOTB. It opens and closes very easily with one hand. Either hand, actually. Opening with my left WOULD be easier if I reversed the clip. The lock up is solid. NIce jimping on the thumb ramp. I haven't assaulted a side of beef, sliced thru a cardboard adversary, or attempted to field dress a Buick with it, but it has handled all the EDC chores I've thrown at it. You may think that you don't need one, but I'm here to tell you that you WANT one. The price is way less than your cable bill or Starbutt's coffee for a week. What are you waiting on? (Just as an aside, I picked up a RAT2 recently. I like this larger version ever so much better.)

Walking to the store or a tour in iraq, this is the blade for you! Smooth action, tight lock up, razor sharp! Instead of buying that new spyderco, buy every color of the rat 1's and have cash left over! Trust me, you will not find a better folder at this price point! American made or not!
