Tough, tested, and trusted—the Ontario RAT Model 1 has earned its reputation as one of the best hard-use folding knives in its price range. Designed by Randall’s Adventure Training, this folder was built to thrive under harsh field conditions and has become a favorite of survivalists, servicemen, and serious EDC users. This used model has seen some action but still performs like a champ and is ready for whatever you throw at it.
 
Originally crafted as part of Randall’s early collaborations with knife legends and brands like Newt Livesay, John Greco, TOPS, and Ontario Knife Company, the RAT line is built on real-world jungle training and battlefield experience. The RAT Model 1 brings that pedigree into a full-sized folder, featuring a D2 tool steel blade known for its high wear resistance and durability—ideal for tasks that push blades to the limit.
 
This version comes with a black Nylon 6 handle, contoured for ergonomics and fitted with stainless steel liners for strength. The four-position pocket clip and dual thumb studs make it fully ambidextrous and highly customizable. The blade rides on smooth washers and locks up tight with a dependable liner lock.
