Ontario Knife Company Rat 2, Satin D2 Tool Steel Drop-Point Blade Folding Pocket Knife, Black Handle Liner Lock Knife, Everyday Carry Knife – ON8828

Well-designed and well-made little knife. Blade takes a nice edge. Clip is very tight, but you'll never lose the knife.

I'd heard good things about this affordable knife so got one. The action is super smooth, the liner lock isn't too heavy, the blade full bevel and D2 steel make for a nice sharp knife. Good shape and size, I recommend this for an affordable EDC or use knife.

Good quality

Sad that Ontario is going out of business. They make many excellent products, such as this Ontario Rat II in D2 steel. The only downside to this model ( and it may just be my own dexterity) is that the thumb stud seems oddly placed on the blade, causing the user to use an uncomfortable grip to roll out the blade. Snapping it out quickly with the wrist resolves that, but that method is kinda frowned upon in public settings. YMMV. I would try it out first in brick and mortar, or be prepared to return if it doesn’t cooperate with your hand.

Sharp D2 blade out of box. Fits well in hand. Durable and inexpensive. Good value.

I've been carrying this every day without issue. Came razor sharp and is still very sharp. Opens very easily with the snap of a thumb and has never accidentally opened in my pocket. A unique profile but I've come to love the ugliness. I had to return a RAT before when it first arrived because the cutting blade was actually twisted (yes, like a warped board). Definitely check that out before you miss the return window or start cutting with it. Other than that, this knife has been the best budget knife I've ever owned and I actually just bought another RAT 2 in D2 steel but it hasn't arrived yet. The green one in my pics is the RAT 1 in D2, my current black handled RAT 2 is AUS-8. Buy it, you won't regret it!

I love this knife! It's just what I needed for an EDC knife! The price is very affordable for what you get! I got the RAT II D2 version. D2 is very good steel, and was very sharp out of the box! The ergonomics fit my hand perfectly! It has a liner lock, and my knife was lined up perfectly straight so it locks just fine! Overall 5 out of 5 stars!

Knife is a perfect size to carry out daily cutting tasks. I’ll be putting it through some pretty tough work so we’ll see how it stands up but I hear nothing but good reviews about the OKC Rat II in both AUS8 and D2 and so far I can see why. Beautiful design, got a lil heft so it feels durable. I’m impressed and to be honest, already want another
