 Ontario RAT Model 1 Folding Knife Linerlock OD Green

Ontario RAT Model 1 Folding Knife 3.6" Satin Plain Blade, OD Green Nylon Handles - 8874TC

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.

    Survival Gear Canada and the OKC Rat 1

    I was happily given an OKC RAT 2 this past Christmas, and love it. I'm experimenting with some budget folding knives to see what works best for me, and wanted to try out the RAT 1 due to its larger size - I find the RAT 2 a little awkward to hold at times as it doesn't fill my palm. I also wanted to make my purchase from a Canadian company, preferably one from Ontario, where I live. The RAT 1 is priced here at SGC comparatively to other Canadian online knife stores, and gave me the opportunity to do business here in Ontario. I placed my order late on a Friday night, and had it shipped the following Monday, arriving to me on the Thursday of that week. Very happy with the service from SGC, and also with the RAT 1. The handle fills my palm and therefore feels safe and steady in my hand for use, and this also allows me to fully open and lock the blade by just flicking my thumb on the thumb stud - with the RAT 2, I have to scrunch my hand up due to the siE of the knife, and have to add a flick of the wrist to fully open and lock the blade. That is the main reason I got the RAT 1 - I want to use my knife safely, and when everyone's hands are shaped and sized differently, different shapes and sizes of knives will feel and move differently in different hands. In sum, I was happy with Survival Gear Canada's service in shipping my purchase, and also satisfied with both the quality of the RAT 1's construction, as well as how its design works for my hands. My final thought is that the RAT 2 is probably a better option for EDC and more properly sized people (as opposed to awkward giants like me) due to its more modest size and weight, but that the RAT 1 is better for camp use, but in no way unreasonable for EDC or workplaces both indoors and outdoors, it's just a bit bigger and heavier.
    Thanks again SGC! Looking forward to doing business again!
