Review: Ontario RAT-Great Value - Nice knife,so far so good.This was my second knife from Taiwan in less than a week.I'm impressed with both of them but the Ontario was a nice surprise.When I opened it I was surprised that the blade was so shiny and lo and behold there was a thin coating of oil on the Aus8 blade.Impressive.Very sharp out of the box and I guess I didn't read up on it too much because it was more of an impulsive buy so I was surprised at the size of the blade which is very good sized,I was expecting something smaller,considering they very low price.I've always read great things about Ontario Knives,but have never purchased one.The RAT line is well priced,even more so on desertcart and I've found knives from Taiwan to be good bargains and well made to boot. The carry on the knife is fairly low in my pocket,with the knife having the tip down.You can change the pocket clip fairly easily with a small torx wrench.The edge is hair shaving sharp.with a nicely shaped drop point edge that offers a fairly large cutting surface.The scales are zytel and not the grippiest surface.It would be nice to have G-10 on it but for the price the zytel works o.k.The opening studs are on both sides of the blade and with a little oil and a few minutes of opening and closing,the knife opens like a charm.If you have delicate hands,the liner lock might do you some damage but I don't think this series of knives are made for the delicate hands crowd.Besides,breaking in a knife is half the fun of buying a new blade,so don't let that keep you away from buying this knife.It's well made and the AUS8 steel is not too common to find on a sub 25.00 dollar knife.
Review: Possibly the best EDC blade at any price - I have purchased two of these knives, that's how impressed I am with them. One is my primary EDC knife, the other I purchased for my thirteen year old son to use in Scouting. Both are black handled but mine has the black coated blade so we can tell them apart. About the coating, yes, it is flaking off, though not as bad as some other reviewers seem to be doing. About the knife itself let me say that this is simply the best designed folding knife I have ever owned. I have knives from Spyderco, Buck, KaBar, Schrade and Gerber and this knife is my favorite (though the KaBar Dozier is a very close second). The handle is unrivaled comfort-wise amongst my folders and even bests many of my fixed blade knives. The full flat grind AUS8 blade takes a wicked sharp edge easily and holds it very well. My blade is perfectly centered when closed and has zero play in it when open. Opening this blade with one hand is easy and as quick as any assisted opening blade I have used. If I were to pick nits (and I will) the only issues I have with the knife are: 1, it could be just a touch less heavy. At five ounces it is certainly noticeable in the pocket. 2, the liner lock on my example is at about 75% when the blade is open. This is not a 'problem' per se, but a concern. Hopefully as the knife ages the lock bar doesn't continue to move further out towards the far side of the blade, as this could potentially decrease it's ability to effectively lock open the blade. However, this is an issue I have only with the black coated blade, the un-coated bladed knife I gave to my son doesn't do this, and the lock bar is set at just under 50% of the blade. All in all whenever anybody asks me to recommend a quality and affordable folding knife (I have a bit of a reputation as a "knife geek" among my friends), this is the knife I recommend. Certainly one can spend more money on a good folder, but the return on your dollars is a diminishing one. The materials, design and fit and finish on this knife are excellent. My own experience is that properly treated AUS8 steel performs very comparably to the far more expensive VG10 used in much more expensive knives like Spydercos. Really, for under thirty bucks you get a knife that can go head-to-head with pretty much any 100$ folder. Why not get one?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 year Review
*by V***6 on October 1, 2025*

5 year review. This knife is a beast. Aus8 steel for ease of sharpening. No need to make a rookie mistake and get any tougher steel like D2 if you need to send it in to be sharpened. This knife has served me well for 5 years. Holds an edge pretty well, pocket clip has seen high mileage but screws never loosened. This is your knife, right here.
