In 2002, RAT partnered with Ontario Knife Company to produce a line of outdoor knives, including the RAT-3, RAT-5, and RAT-7 fixed blades and the Model 1 and Model 2 folders. The founders later launched their own company, now known as ESEE Knives. Ontario kept making the RAT folders, and the RAT 1 remains the full-size model in the family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAUS-8 Blade and Liner Lock Build\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAUS-8 is a Japanese stainless steel that sharpens easily and resists rust, which makes it a practical choice for a knife that gets used every day. The blade has a full flat grind for clean slicing and a satin finish. Dual thumb studs let you open it with either hand, and a steel liner lock holds the blade open. The open-back frame is easy to rinse out, and the four-way pocket clip lets you carry it tip-up or tip-down on either side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePocket, Toolbox, and Pack\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOwners carry the RAT 1 for opening boxes, cutting rope and zip ties, slicing food at camp, and the dozens of small jobs that come up on a job site or around the house. One retired police officer bought it to replace a carry knife he had used for 14 years. Another owner says it outperforms several American-made folders he has owned. Reviewers often rank it among the best everyday carry knives under $50. At just under 8.75\" open, it is on the larger side for pocket carry, and the smaller RAT 2 is the better choice if you want something more compact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ontario","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67133100720369,"sku":"67133100720369","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7043\/8085\/files\/RATRedux.jpg?v=1791473691","url":"https:\/\/www.americanapipedream.com\/products\/ontario-rat-i-folding-knife","provider":"Americana Pipedream Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
