Description
Designed for outdoor adventurers, tactical operators, tradespeople, and everyday carry (EDC) users requiring a proven, hard-use folding knife, the Ontario Knife Company RAT-1 is an industry icon in utility and reliability. Precision-crafted with an AUS-8 stainless steel drop point blade featuring a dark protective finish, this rugged knife combines a razor-sharp plain edge section with aggressive partial serrations for easily slicing through tough materials like rope, webbing, and heavy cardboard. The ergonomic handle scales are constructed from durable Nylon, providing an exceptionally stable, non-slip grip in any environment. Outfitted with dual thumb studs for smooth, ambidextrous one-handed deployment and a robust liner lock mechanism, the RAT-1 ensures positive lockup under pressure. Complete with a 4-position pocket clip, it offers versatile carry configurations tailored to your personal setup.
How To Use
-
Opening the Blade: Use either the left or right thumb stud on the blade spine to flick the blade open until the liner lock engages with a solid click.
-
Cutting Safety: Ensure the internal liner lock bar is fully engaged behind the blade tang before applying heavy downward cutting pressure.
-
Closing & Carrying: Push the liner lock bar to the side with your thumb and fold the blade safely back into the handle. Adjust the 4-position pocket clip for your preferred tip-up, tip-down, left, or right-hand carry.
