Ontario RAT I D2 Satin
Description
The Ontario RAT series is right up there with the best of the best in utility knife design.
Beautifully balanced and now with a D2 carbon steel blade this will be your go to pocket knife for work, at home or out in the wilds. The RAT I is the bigger brother of the RAT II with a little more heft, designed for the larger hand for some seriously tough work.
The blade is unbelievably sharp out of the box and will not need sharpening as often as a standard stainless. The handle is FRN (Fibre Reinforced Nylon) with stainless liners and a precise linerlocking mechanism. There is a lanyard hole to personalise with your favourite lanyard and a black coated stainless pocket clip which is removable for tip up or tip down carry

Now to the knife. I bought this as a big do-it-all knife. To carry in my pocket when outside in the garden and shed, and to take on camping trips when a small legal folding knife would not fit the bill. I knew this was not the best looking knife you could get, but I just wanted utility, I didn't care about looks, and the price at just north of £50 was great.
Now I have the knife I can say it is everything I expected and more. Razor sharp out of the box, and once I eased the mechanism with a 50 or so opens, I can now flick it open very easily with a push of my thumb, and one handed closing is easy too. The ergonomics on the knife are top notch. I have average size hands and this fits perfectly with my thumb sitting on the gimping at the back of the blade and the fingers locking nicely around the body. The lock is very secure so you can really push down to cut and be reassured it will take the pressure. D2 steel is going to work great with this knife, not done any serious work to dull it yet, but I imagine it will hold the edge really well, and resharpening it should be pretty easy. I did read reviews with complaints about blade centring, but my knife is perfecly centred when in the body with no play in any direction when extended. This feels like a knife worth way more than the price you pay, the only clue about the budget origins being the printing on the knife blade which is a little rough. But who care about that? Not me, I bought this knife to get serious stuff done and I am more than delighted with it. The only problem now is I know I wont' be able to resist buying the Rat II (Posted on 22 July 2019)

Scales:
- Entirely adequate FRN
- Ergonomic feel, gives a sturdy grip
Blade:
- D2 tool steel is much better than you'll usually find in this price range
- Out of the box edge it comes with is easily sharp enough
- Has a tiny choil that does make sharpening easier.
- No noticeable blade play.
Construction:
- Excellent overall, nothing feels at all loose
- Blade centering is perfect (on mine at least)
- Action is quite smooth, easily opened and closed with one hand
- Standard hex screws for disassembly and cleaning.
Fixtures:
- Belt clip can be changed to tip up or down on either side to allow for left hand use.
- Lanyard hole
- Thumb stud on both sides for ambidextrous use.
If you have £50 burning a hole in your pocket or just need a decent knife, this (or its slightly smaller cousin RAT 2 D2) is a total no-brainer. (Posted on 28 December 2018)
