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 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.

Rat 1
Use as utility knife cutting plastic banding using the serrated part of knife, using straight part of blade to cut plastic wrap. Changed the pocket clip to blade up; this is more convenient.

Cons: Handle Material
Rock solid
Has some heft to it but that is from solid construction. Lockup is solid and with a crack on the flick. No blade play to speak of and the action is really quick once tuned and broken in. Liner lock is a bit stiff at first but works in nicely. Spine of blade is sharp, presumably for fire steel striking, but if you're gonna do more detailed work some easing might be in order. Feels pretty good in hand if a bit slippery, wish they would come out with a micarta scaled version.

Best budget EDC
The Rat 1 is easily the best budget friendly EDC no question about it. I personally prefer the combo blade but everyone has their preferred blade style. 10/10 you should definitely have a few of these floating around the house, garage, vehicle , collection and most importantly your pocket.
