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

Great!!!Review by Tomasz

Budget, well made folder. This pocket knife is on a larger side of a pocket knives however not to big(except carrying in UK). Sharp out of the box, good pocket clip, decent steel- D2 in my case. Flipping open with one hand is no problem. Plastic scales are not bad, grippy enough. If I can point out any problems it will be blade. Grind is not even on both sides. Not much but visible. But it’s £50 work knife, so nothing to be bothered about. It is my second one and it was worth it to pay extra for D2. (Posted on 1 August 2019)

Get it done with this knife..Review by Matthew

First off, a mention to the legendary Heinnie Haynes customer service. Wanted this knife in black, was out of stock so back ordered it with a 4 week wait. They actually got the knife to me in less than 2 weeks and emailed me to explain it was on the way. You can't beat this level of service and care for customers.
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)

Low Price Excellence Review by PJB75

Finally got round to buying a RAT1 in D2. Was amazed by the overall build quality of this knife. At a shade over £50 it puts many of the other supposedly ‘high-end’ models to shame. Fit and finish were perfect, the blade was excellent and more importantly, it felt a knife you could actually use. Solid construction makes the knife feel safe in use. Likely to be a favourite for many years to come. Definitely low price excellence. Brilliant HH service and delivery as usual. (Posted on 24 June 2019)

The only knife you will needReview by Brett

I’m by no means a knife expert but when I say this is a true work of engineering perfection I mean it.
This is a solid brute of a knife, the blade is perfectly central the lock up is fantastic the edge is flawless, if you need a big knife to use round the yard then this guy is the one. I’ll be ordering the little brother next.

Once again thanks to Heinnie and all staff for your help in getting this to me in under 24hours, you are all an asset to the company and all is knife fanatics thanks you (Posted on 18 June 2019)

This is truly the king of the £50 folding range. If you're looking at higher quality folding knives but don't want to hurt your wallet too much, this is about the best bang for your buck quality and value wise and you won't feel too bad about dirtying it up.

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)

I have one of these knives and consider it a lightweight Buck110 (which I've had for over 30 years), the only thing I did to my Rat was to curve the blade to more of a drop point, I simply rounded it slightly on a belt sander taking of barely 1mm of blade length. It's an outstanding knife, a proper man sized knife. Highly recommended (Posted on 24 July 2018)

Nice knife Review by David

This is a great knife the fit and finish is is very good for the price,. The reason I’m only giving it 3 stars is because of one small thing, the Logo on the clip is way off centre which look ugly but apart from that I love it. Great service from H H as usual !! (Posted on 28 April 2018)

Perfect every day workhorseReview by Dan

First off, everything that everyone's been saying about the RAT Model 1 is true, both lit's fans and it's critics...As it's detractors would tell you, it IS a bit boring (some might even say ugly) looking, but once you handle it, it all starts to make sense. The aesthetics have been entirely driven by practical ergonomics, and it just fits into your hand perfectly. The blade geometry is great, with a great quality grind, and the steel takes (and keeps) a really good edge. The ramped section of the blade is actually a genius feature, as it means that the centre of the blade tip is above the pivot. This means that any point work translates to pressure on the stop pin and pivot, and not on the liner lock, so even in the event of the lock failing (which is unlikely- it's absolutely rock solid), the blade wouldn't want to close on your hand. It's got a nice bit of jimping on there too, should you want to choke up on the blade. I'm not usually a big fan of FRN, but these scales really suit the knife, and don't feel plasticky or cheap. Yes, if I could, I'd swap them for G10, but they are perfectly useable as is, and I wouldn't really want to pay more for them. In some ways, as it is, it's more likely to get some hard use, rather than just become part of my collection. The action is pretty amazing, given that its running on bronze, it f*s like a blade running on bearings! Honestly, everyone should have one of these, they're just such a practical workhorse!
