Just bought one while watching your video. Thanks for the heads up on a good knife. A nice add on to my other Ontario Knives.
New subscriber and I have two Rat 1 and have beat, abused, used and they still work fabulous. This knife for the money, any money.. delivers everyday for a working man. I’ve pried nails, sprinkler heads, window frames, scraped off paint and they always work. Mine are beat up and after heavy use, I sharpen them and it’s back to work for the Rat 1. It’s my Big Boss!!
I absolutely love my rat one, I've been carrying it as my work edc knife for about 3 1/2 years. It's absolutely a monster and amazing knife, 100% worth the money and has never let me down!
Ontario Rat 1 also comes in serrated edge. And you can get it in D2 steel as well. Been using it for over 20 years and of any knife, budget or expensive, value per dollar, you cannot beat the Rat 1 or Rat 2.
Has it actually been around that long??
@@brodyfulford6096
2002 or 2003. ? I remember when it took over the Gerbers that were in everyone's BDU pockets...
@@solidsirk that’s wild lol! The rats almost as old as me bro!
When I heard Ontario is going out of business, I decided to get one because I had always heard what a great bargain they are. I love it way more than I expected. It is the opposite of a Bugout, being pretty stout. I don't see any point in comparing them. But it's a great tool on its own merit. You hold it in your hand and you just feel a very primal, "Mmmm, knife. Good." I recommend it to anyone who wants a fairly big, hefty pocket knife.
The Rat-1 is a great knife. For the budget you will not find much that will beat it. I personally like the way it feels to open the Rat better than most of my other knives that are running on bearings.
They are inexpensive enough to buy multiple to include in get home bags, tool or tackle boxes or in camping supplies.
I also like That it has a 90 degree spine that will throw sparks with a ferro rod.
One of the first knives that got me into EDC! Super strong and solid AF! I have the black blade with the carbon fiber handles. It's insane , the quality and build you get for the price is awesome!
The rat one is a beast of a knife had one as a beater knife for years now and it just keeps on doing it's thing.
I’ve never had a RAT I, but I own something in similar dimensions/design philosophy. It’s the Coast FX411. The thing is an absolute beast, built out of the cheapest materials possible. You wouldn’t win any Instagram fashion arms races with the thing, but you CAN use it to hammer a loose nail back into a fence. (Ask me how I know.)
Awesome review and choice. I carry my RAT 1 everyday and have the belt clip flipped the same way you do. I also bend out the tip of the belt clip a little bit so I can draw it with my middle finger, come out of the pocket and flip the blade up with my thumb, just like snapping my fingers.
Rat 1 in D2 steel is a great and reliable EDC knife, if you have no problem with its size, and thanks to its considerable weight, it feels good in your hand while working.
I have the RAT 1 but I use it for camping purposes because of its size. I have a RAT 2 with black blade but coating is wearing off. I also have a RAT 2 with D2 steel blade which is my favorite. I put deep carry clip on it. For money and performance they are great contenders.
Good evening Sir! I’m new to your channel, but really enjoying it! I’m a huge fan of that knife, it’s in my EDC as well. I don’t think you can find a better knife for the money!
Thanks for sharing, and my best to you and your family!
OKC Rat 1 is an essential in any knife collection or as an edc knife. Has stood the test of time regarding quality and value. Got my first on 5 years ago.
I have 4 okc rats a couple 1s and a 3 and a 5 absolutely love them they are all D2 steel and do hold a good edge the fixed blades a nice and thick as well for batoning
I've been using the RAT 1 for two years... I did grind the tip from clip, to spear point though. Not too pricey for its price, easy to maintain, bigger than the RAT2 which is better for me... And still available in stores even today!!!
Check out the Ganzo G727, it's an Axis style lock alternative to the Rat 1 (slightly shorter) in 440c on bearings for $20 or D2 for $26. Excellent quality.
One of my favorite EDC knives is in AUS8, it dulls quick when cutting nylon rope but sharpens easy, best feature of AUS8 I found is it works well around water, doesn't rust.
I found out the hard way that it will rust if you subject it to salt water. Mine went swimming in the Pacific several times, and I had to completely disassemble it to remove all of the rust.
Excellent comparison. Thank you.
Very cool knife! I think ill start with this one. Dont have many folder knives.
The clip will fit. I picked up a Benchmade deep carry clip for mine and it fits fine. You just need to open the holes on the Benchmade clip just a bit. It now carries perfectly and doesn't get in the way in use. I got the D2 version. I've only had to touch up the blade, it not to hard to do. Great knife!
Own both RAT 1 & RAT 2. RAT 1 is my favorite it tends to fit in my hand like a glove. RAT 2 feels a tad small after using the RAT 1 for a while, still a great knife in it’s own right. Put a snaggletooth on that RAT!
Got the rat 1 and 2 just a working knife love them so much got my daughters each a pink rat 2
Great video and fantastic knife. I actually saw videos and people saying that the Rat 1 or 2 is an awful knife hahaha, I'd like to see their budget king knives lmao.
I own several Benchmade, Spyderco, and Cold Steel knives. I carry the RAT1 90% of the time.
Carries the best. It's thin but feels good in the hand. Cheap enough to loose or break without crying. Haven't hurt it yet with several years of use.
Thanks, will look into this, if I can find one locally.
I have a Rat-1 in D2 with dyed-orange scales and it is my go-to knife for camping. But I still love the Bugout for EDC'ing because of its weight. Semper Fi
Those R.A.T. knives are excellent. It is a worth including in any type of edc/car kit.
Just bought the Ontario 8847 Rat-1 with the serrated blade for $25.88 at Amazon. Great ratings on Amazon nice price. Something to add to my "fall" carry collection for those of us into knife fashion!.
I've been carrying the RAT1 for a couple of years now and love it. Thanks for doing a video on it.
How’s it feel sturdiness wise? I want something tough, simple, and reliable, thanks bro!
Am I the only one who caught the "giggity"?? 😂😂😂😂 fuckin hilarious man I had to rewind it just to make sure that's what I heard hahaha
Hello again Marine X
Thank you for another Great Video 👍 I haven't seen one of these before. I do like the full tang. The price is right. Again thank you 😊
Glad you enjoyed it
I really like my Rat 1. I have much higher end knives, so I use the Rat as my travel knife. It is a great knife, so I'm comfortable using it, but if I lose it on a trip it is inexpensive to replace. It would hurt much more if I lost one of my Microtech or Zero Tolerance (or even one of my Benchmade) knives.
Find a Sanrenmu 7010 aka The Poor Man's Sebenza and see what you think of it. I have had one and carried if for almost 10 years, and that knife has never failed me on any level.
Hey man. I just bout a Rat 1 today at the pawn shop close to me. It's the D2 version with a satin blade and black scales just like yours. I only paid $20.00. I had the Gonzo that looked like the Rat 1 before and it was fun, but this Rat 1 is better than I thought it would be. I think you made a good decision. I just can't do the Bugout for any reason. I require more cutting edge. Thanx for the video my Bladed Brother 👍 ⚔️ ✝️ 🇺🇲
My rat 1 with d2 steel arrived today. Its huge. I'm fiddling with it to get it to flip open every time. It's a real work horse but too big and heavy for EDC. I love it
I carry mine back pocket in jeans or dickies and its not too heavy if you arent wearing gym shorts or something
Like you, I own several Spydercos and Benchmades but they all stay home, It is my RAT I that is my EDC.
I'm sure other people have allready mentioned it but the RAT 1 and 2 both have a legendary reputation and was extremely popular (I want to say) between 2015 and 2017. It was all over youtube and the forums during and after my highscool years. It used to be the go to recommendation for many people making suggestions to people looking to get a good first knife or even just a first step into knife excellence for a budget price. It is one of the few that have lasted as long as it has other then other knives like the spyderco delica. Sadly ontario is now closing their doors so soon you may not be able to buy them anymore so there goes an option to recommend to new people or people looking to step up past first couple of rungs on the ladder of knife design. They may have been able to turn things around sooner if they had released their S35VN version sooner but it unfortunately came little to late.
Hey knife bro, excellent review i dig the vibe no BS just the facts, seriously keep it up. 🤙
I have the Rat 1 in D2. It's a toolbox knife for me. My carry knives tend more towards premium steels, m390 being the preferred. And BTW, a lot of people have talked about the Rat. There have been a ton of videos about this knife, it's one of the most famous budget knives in the US.
Oh yeah, the Rat 1 is a dang good budget EDC I've done a couple of mods on mine by inlarging acess to the liner lock & contouring the edges of the handles with a little decorative file work. ⚔
That rat one is fire.
The Rat 2 in D2 steel is also a great choice.
I hate to admit it, but the Rat 1 is better than most of my other very expensive folders, and finds its way into my pocket a majority of the time. I got the D2 blade steel version. Just such a great knife. Punches was above its class. Recently procured the ESEE Avispa. Also a great knife.
I just did the same thing. Got my Avispa today.
Better late than never. They do have D2 versions and micarta scales too. Some versions come from China though, and that factory doesn't seem to have the quality. Great breakdown video as usual. 👍🏼
Just subscribed been using the ontario rat 1 aus 8 as my work knife for about a year now its a great work knife and I just bought the bugout cf elite as my outside of work edc and it's really great as well
That's awesome. Welcome to the battalion
I’ve owned 2, wife stole my first one. They are great, no other way to put it. My kitchen sharpener keeps it in a slightly “better than working edge” state as well. I try other knives, but I keep going back to this bad boy.
you and me both
A little skateboard tape on the handle, on the opposite side from the pocket clip, and on the tip-up side for your thumb to grab, makes the Rat 1 a joy to pull from your pocket. If your skateboard tape slips due to weak glue, a small dab of Shoo-Goo will make it stick forever. It is the perfect everyday working blade.
OUTSTANDING review. Really enjoyed it.
Many years ago The ApostleP (Rob Bixby) called this knife 'Tenacious killing excellence'. He was right then, but things have moved on. Both the Rat1 and the Spyderco Tenacious are now available with better steels, and it has to be mentioned how heavy the Rat1 is. For just a bit more money, the modern Cold Steel American Lawman in S35VN steel (or even better CTS XHP) would be a better choice.
Absolutely amazing knife. I have a R2D2 that i gave no mercy and it functions perfect. I beat on it for two seasons at work and though it shows lots of wear the blade is perfectly centered and the detent and action are still smooth. I have a ZT and BM in my small collection but if i had to take one on a deserted island the Rat would be my choice.
you'd have a hard time sharpening the r2d2 on the island, the r2aus8 not so much. i have an old r2 with beat up black blade and clip. looks cool
it's good for those of the ambudextrious persuasion
Carried one for several months got one with orange scales can see it in tall grass excellent knife
Agreed
I've had the rat 1 and rat 2 both are great knives
The main pro to the Bugout was super lightweight EDC design -- yet with decent cutting power. I would compare it more to Spyderco Delica 4.
Basically it was designed to hike with " bugout bag ". Has axis lock
A RAT ( " Randall Adventure Training " ) is more a hard-use tactical folder designed for the heavier tasks more in the field. Liner lock is very secure.
That being said they both cut cardboard boxes equally well ~ I find !
As in an urban city setting mostly they will be opening packages etc ...rather than a military or specialised tactical purpose that would actually more differentiate the two innovative designs.
Both are highly replicated so be aware of copies especially online as these models are often in mere replicas.
Note : some CHINESE copies of these knives are so good even experts cannot tell them apart.
Both are EXCELLENT choices; very popular worldwide and sell easily.
I honestly feel like I've been missing out, I was really close to buying one as a broke teenager but chose to get to cheapo Chinese knives instead, and still haven't owned a rat but that's going to change real soon. especially since the company just changed hands
Good review man.
I like my Civivi praxis. It is similar to the rat 1
With a Benchmade Bugout coming 😁, it's going to be difficult getting excited about another knife, but that one certainly looks solid.
I think it shipped today 😎
@@MarineX Cool, it looked it wouldn't until 10/19.
@@OnusBones yeah I got an shipping notification. I assume it's the Bugout because I haven't ordered anything else lately. I'll try to check later today.
I subbed when you said “tip at the top”
It’s an awesome knife!
Drill it out to 7/64 the Benchmade clips fit.
It's a great edc knife. The handle is very comfortable. I have an AUS8 serrated and a D2 plain edge. Taiwan makes very high quality everything, why do you think China wants to overtake it.
Nice, and at $24 you don’t mind if it’s left stuck in strange people or places
You won't believe how expensive the RAT 1 is in Europe: 67 dollars!.
Apparently, every RAT 1 is shipped in its personal golden private jet to Europe.
I have a Rat. I’ve just never cared much for it. It’s a bit too clunky. Maybe it’s because it is spring assisted? It just doesn’t do anything for me.
This is one of the first "high quality " knives. It's a great work horse.
I have a RAT1 in D2 and it's a knock out of a knife, very well priced and i know i can thrash on it if i need too but will still do finer tasks as well
thats the knife that got me into knives
You should pick up the D2 version of the rat 1, another UA-camr tested out the aus8 Vs the D2 rat and the D2 held an edge over twice as long.
Definitely going to check it out
yep great knives
Esee makes two knives that are like the rat 1&2
rat 1 is best in class, unbeatable at its price
Going for the Rat II but thanks for the info never would've known. #Battalion
Literally just threw one of those in a cart. Should I check out?
@@MarineX comes Tomorrow
The Rat 1 is coming out in s35v
Caved in and bought one. Happy birthday to me.
Happy birthday
Try the rat 2 even better small and sweet
Tip Down Gang!
(giggty)
#Battalion 😊 I’ll stick with my Benchmade. Lovely review as always
"Ampidexruous... hopefully I'm saying that correctly..."
Narrator: "But, he was NOT saying it correctly.
It's okay. Us lefties are used to it. 😀
lol
Ambidextrous?
Omg people send their knives in to get sharpened?!?
Get a $30 - 30inch belt sander from Harbour freight. 800-1000 grit belt with a leather belt and compound.
Wth is wrong with you
STOP THE CAP 🧢
. guessing the knife cut shit. I mean it's a knife
Apples and oranges...both are great but one is three times the weight, has vastly inferior blade steel and is not American made. Not to mention takes up more room in the pocket.The real plus with the Rat 1 is the price. Two completely different knives and not really a fair comparison.
Don’t think I was comparing. More of alternative fact
@@MarineX ok if thats what you're doing i guess any knife is an alternative. I tend to think of an alternative as one with similar ergonomics, size,weight and materials . I like both btw and im not ring to be disrespectful i just interpret alternative differently
I wouldn't say they are completely different a knife is a knife at the end of the day. No matter what knife you have in your pocket as long as it works its good for you. A lot of people complain about how the g10 on the bugout is pretty flimsy, yes you can spend money a better version or spend money on different scales but that's furthering the price difference. You said aus 8 I'd vastly inferior than s20v (I think that's the steel on the bugout). However it can be viewed differently s20v is very easy to sharpen for the common knife user. You can send in your bugout to get sharpened, however you than are going to have to wait to get it back.of course all knives are going to be really different in comparison if you just look at blade steel. Even company's do different level of quality per steel on a knife.
@@loganevans3256 i agree a knife is a knife, they all cut but maybe it me, thie differences matter to me. Im one of those"knife guys"and I sharpen my own blades and see big differences in blade steels AUS8A takes a great edge better than most super steels but doesn't hold it nearly as long as more premium steels such as 20cv. Again I see differences that maybe some others won't and they matter to me when comparing or offering up alternatives.
I've been using the RAT 1 for two years... I did grind the tip from clip, to spear point though. Not too pricey for its price, easy to maintain, bigger than the RAT2 which is better for me... And still available in stores even today!!!
