Ontario RAT 1 Plain Edge Folder Knife

PROs
Excellent quality for a budget folder!
Lock up is tight and came hair popping sharp. Smooth open and easy closing.
Comfy grips enough room for a full grip and not be to skinny to cause pain when in use.
Decent grip in dry hands. Don’t know how it going to be when it’s wet or bloody from hunting though.
Light weight in my opinion but some will find it heavy.
CONs
BIG! Honestly I didn’t realize how big this folder is in person lol. I have others folders that are big, but this just seems a lot bigger.
Being that it’s big it will take up some room in your pocket so using it as an EDC for some will be a challenge.
They changed the little blade emblem from the RAT symbol to a big O symbol for Ontario Knife company which in my opinion is stupid. Change the title of the listing to Ontario Model 1 knife. The original design was from RAT not Ontario Knife Company.
Overall a good buy and I plan on using this pocket knife for EDC, outdoor tasks, a traveling knife, and or beater knife. This is one pocket knife that you might loose but it will always be cheap enough to buy another.

I have had many knives over the years, in the hundreds! The Model 1 Rat folder is the best I have ever owned for under 30 bucks. Super razor out of the box. Very smooth and precision opening and closing.Ambidextrious thumb stud. Bladed centered. Comfortable grip. Lanyard hole and the clip can be mounted 4 ways if you decide to use the pocket clip. I stopped using them years ago after a clip failed and I almost lost a very expensive Benchmade 940 folder. Now they go deep in my pocket. It isn't a small knife, 5" closed and will handle about any camping chore from skinning moose on down. It is an excellent choice for EDC but might be a bit large for most to carry all day. Very happy with this large folder for day trips and those extended hunting trips. Suits my needs. Very happy!
