I, being an avid knife collector, was somewhat tepid in my view of this knife, the Ontario Rat Model 1. I finally pulled the trigger and bought one. WOW, I can't believe how good this knife is! I would kick my own ass if my leg would bend that way. This is without a doubt, one of the best knives money can buy. Especially at this price. If it had a name like Spyderco, Benchmade, or Zero Tolerance...this would be a $150 - $200 knife.

Super smooth opening, perfect blade centering, razor sharp blade. As if that isn't enough the slim profile in both thickness and width make it a pleasure to carry, like a much smaller knife in pocket. Easy sharpening AUS8 steel takes a wicked edge. Plenty of blades for everything from opening boxes to camping or hiking. I have one in every color!

The quality is much better than I expected. Very tight lock up and fits my xxl hands great. The spine has a sharp 90 degree angle that works for striking a ferrocerium rod. I purchased a custom kydex neck sheath that I'll be using for canoe camping. While the knife isn't real light it doesn't seem too heavy worn around the neck. The stainless blade won't rust either making it a perfect knife for my needs. I'm very pleased with it.

Better style and design than some of the others out there. Steel is (AUS-8) the same as high priced options. For a large camp folder its the best in size and function. Ontario been around a long time. Taiwan made stuff better than China. Price is right on!!
