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" Satin Plain Blade, Coyote Brown Nylon Handles
I think this straight forward well designed knife is an awesome value! I now own it in 2 sizes and 2 blade materials, both are excellent! If you're thinking about buying one of these knives, my somewhat humble recommendation is to give it a try-- I'm happy I did.

Rat 1-very high quality knife
Like many of the reviews, I find this to be a high quality, well built knife that compares favorably with many other much higher priced knives I own, including Spyderco, Benchmade, Kershaw etc. The AUS-8 takes a terrific edge and I simply touch it up on my leather strop every few days to keep it hair popping sharp. It is heavy but I equate that with quality. I use it for EDC and love it's ergonomics, ease of deployment and look. Classic! Highly recommended!
