## 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 model - Easy deploy and closing. It comes razor sharp out of box (at least mine did). The action is smooth and buttery, small and easy to carry for work. Use it to cut boxes and whatever else a knife would be handy for. Easy to sharpen with a pocket sharpener and holds an edge pretty well. Now i dont beat the knife up, but for my use its money well spent
Review: Great little workhorse! - 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My new EDC knife. Very happy overall.
*by P***E on June 4, 2017*

I'm not a knife enthusiast by any means, and I've been using my old Schrade SW-7 for decades with no issues as a EDC or utility knife, fishing knife, camping knife and all. I decided its time to get a new EDC and see what was on the market and so I found this knife rated very highly on many different forums, the reviews on Amazon as well as other websites recommending this knife. I have to say I am extremely pleased with it after I received it. The factory blade was pretty sharp, not as sharp as they come but definitely not dull either. I could slightly shave hairs off my forearm with it but not in 1 swipe like my larger SOG sealpup, where this took a few motions to completely shave the hair off. The knife also cuts paper very easily and without any problem at all. So overall a very sharp knife, and especially for the price. The knife doesn't feel cheap at all, and from the blade to the lock, to the grip it feels very solidly built. The blade is centered when closed, easily flicks open effortlessly with a flick of the stud, and rivals the speed of an assisted opening knife I recently purchased. What I really like about this knife is how it feels in my hand, and how light but durable it feels and the grip is good, but not like my g-10 knife which is like rough sandpaper, this is a subtle grip thats good but not hard to pull from the pocket either. The clip is firm, there is no play in the blade and overall now my new favorite EDC knife. Perfect for pretty much all the daily tasks of opening, cutting or whatever. I don't work in a construction type or blue collar trade, so I don't know how this knife would hold up in that type of use, so I can't comment on that, but overall very happy with my purchase and I highly recommend this knife for others. I may even be getting some of these as gifts for people as its affordable but still very good quality.
