ON8861: Black RAT Model 2

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.

Cons: Sheath
Great little knife
Only having to order a new one after EDC for 2 years because I had to toss it at a security checkpoint. But that's probably a testament to how compact it is. I forgot I had it hooked IWB. Blade retains edge well. The tip has seen some abuse and will take being used to pry and screw things in without breaking. Hit the inside with a little silicon lube every few months and it works beautifully.

Ontario RAT 2 D2
The Ontario RAT 2 D2 is a great knife. I would have preferred the larger size RAT 1 but our state has a 3" limit of blade length for legal carry. This is the first knife I have bought made with D2 steel. I have always heard that the RAT series of Ontario knives are excellent and after receiving mine I can see why. I also saw the review by David C Anderson! The knife: is razor sharp, opens as fast as an assisted, affordable, good lock up, good clip, legal size blade, sturdy and and well made. I originally planned to use it as my EDC, I've decided to reserve it as a knife to carry when wearing dress clothes. Though the price is so affordable, it is one of my higher priced folding knife and I have a number of good lower priced knives for EDC. All in all the Ontario RAT2D2 is a solid, serious knife that seems capable of anything "thrown" at it. Please check out the pros listed above. I would recommend this knife for EDC, reserved or first knife.

Cons: Pocket Clip
Excessively tight pocket clip
Just bought this last week. The pocket clip is way too tight. I can't use it. I can barely pull it from the knife body with my finger. I'll let it sit in my pocket loose. Not the end of the world.
