## Description

If you like the Ontario RAT Model 1, but want something a little less bulky, then you'll love the Model 2. The RAT Model II is based on the popular Model I, it's smaller, but retains the same great shape and performance of the original. This knife is designed for comfort and performance with an index finger groove on the handle to keep your hand where it should be and jimping on the spine of the blade for controlled cutting. The handle features textured black nylon 6 scales with an open-built steel linerlock frame. The AUS-8 stainless steel drop point blade has a satin finish and a plain cutting edge. The RAT Model 2 is fully ambidextrous with dual thumb studs and a 4-way reversible pocket clip.

Review: Great overall knife for the price - Great companion for the RAT 1 that has been my daily carry for years. A good quality knife for someone who is not chasing the latest and greatest in knife steels. Great ergonomics, comfortable in the hand, holds a decent edge and sharpens easily. Blade shape has been great for all the tasks that I have put it to from food prep to on the job use.
Review: Excellent budget EDC knife - I've heard many good things about the Ontario RAT and RAT II knives over the years, and the reviews were very favorable, so I decided I'd get one to add to my collection. This is probably the cheapest knife I have in my collection, but the quality is still really good for a sub $30 knife. I was impressed by how smooth the blade deployment was considering this knife has no assist in it. In fact, it opens up just as smoothly as my assisted Kershaw Blur. I really wanted a good quality knife that didn't break the bank and was perfect for those occasions where you might not want to have a high value knife on you, especially if there is a chance it might get lost. Plus, this knife is pretty light weight at 2.7 oz. The closest knife I have to this weight is my Spyderco Cat G-10, which weights 2.5 ounces, but is also shorter and wider where the RAT II is longer and skinnier. Some people say that the handle has too much of a plastic feel and isn't grippy enough, but I'd have to disagree. Yes, the handle is not G-10 and it's not as grippy as G-10, but it doesn't feel like smooth plastic either. It has some grip to it; not much, but it's adequate. The blade came pretty sharp too. There's only a couple of minor knocks I have for this knife. First, the satin finish on the blade is a magnet for finger prints and oils, so you may find yourself wiping it down a good bit. Second, the pocket clip was so tight that I couldn't even get it to latch on to the pocket on my cargo pants. I haven't tried it on regular denim jeans yet, but I'm hoping it will fit better on those. If we're going solely on a "good, better, best" scale here, I'd put this knife in the good category, mostly due to the AUS-8 steel. The fit and finish is good and I love how light weight it feels. This was a great buy at $27 and I'm amazed you can get this much quality for that price. If I lost this knife, I could easily get another one without breaking the bank. If you are on a budget for a good knife or you just want to have a backup to keep in the car or something, I'd highly recommend this knife.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little workhorse!
*by S***L on December 19, 2022*

I'll start by saying I'm kind of a "knife nerd". I have a fairly large collection, with my interest being mainly in custom knives. But I'm pretty abusive to my work knife and can't get myself to use an expensive blade for metal on metal cutting, prying, other things knives aren't designed to do, not to mention I occasionally lose them. Enter the Rat II. It's a great knife at a great price point. The one handed opening action is excellent out of the box. The scales have a great textured secure grip. The smaller size is plenty big for everything I throw at it but doesn't freak people out when I flick it open. And it's easy to sharpen and easily takes a good working edge with the Worksharp pocket sharpener I keep in my toolbox. In fact, I'm writing this review of my second Rat II as I lost my original one that I had been carrying for a long time. As soon as I realized it wasn't in my pocket I ordered a replacement as, for me, this is the perfect work blade. The only MINOR gripe I have is that it comes with the pocket clip set for tip down carry. It's reversible as long as you have a T6 mini torx bit and simple enough to change, I just don't know many people that prefer that carry style. I highly recommend this affordable little knife.
