Excellent rapport qualité prix. Super tranchant facile a entretenir, excellente prise en main. Attention ! Ne pas faire de batooning avec : le systeme de blocage de lame n'est pas prevu pour encaisser des chocs violents ! Ca ne m'a pas empêché de racheter le meme modèle pour toutes ses autres qualités ...

Das Ontario Model 1 ( RAT 1 ) ist eine geniales Taschenmesser mit hervorragender Verarbeitung. Nichts wackelt oder klappert, die Arretierung ist bombenfest und hat in keine Richtung Spiel. Die Griffschalen liegen angenehm in der Hand und die Klinge war direkt ohne Nachschleifen extrem scharf. Für den Preis ein unschlagbar gutes Taschenmesser. Klare Kaufempfehlung.

Couteau simple, La lame se verrouille très bien. Je l'ai toujours avec moi et je n'hésite pas à m'en servir dès qu'il le faut.

Muy buena a un precio justo .un poco pesada pero compensan sus materiales.buena amiga para un día de campo

I bought this knife based on reviews I found on different forums and YouTube. Just google or search YouTube, youʻll find a TON of information and reviews on this knife. One of the best reviews is by Nutnfancy on YouTube. Hereʻs my thoughts:BLADE:AUS8 steel. Itʻs decent steel... Sharpens up easily, and keeps an edge. It was extremely sharp out of the box, and I personally prefer FFG blades, so that was another plus for me. Nice jimping on the top of the blade that helps with grip when cutting. The thumb studs are solid. When closed, the blade on my knife sits exactly centered. NO blade-play whatsoever. Up, down, left, right...itʻs solid. The satin finish is nice. I like how the RAT logo contrasts on the blade. Very cool. (Iʻve seen reviews on the black finish, and people are saying that it comes off way too easily, and really is there just for looks. So Iʻve decided to stay away from it.) The blade has a nice belly, and is shaped for a lot of different utility tasks. The blade shape and FFG is one of the main reasons I looked at this knife in the first place. Well, that and the price.HANDLES:Another reviewer said these were G10. I donʻt think so, and I donʻt remember what I read in the blade review forums...but I think itʻs Zytel or something. But it feels like G10. The finish is really nice on the handles. The finger choil up front is deep, and it fits my finger in nicely. It gives good solid control in hand. Itʻs not as grippy as my Spyderco Tenacious, but itʻs in that same style: sort of a smoothed out grip. Iʻm not sure how it will hold up covered in blood (I hunt wild boar) or even just water...that remains to be seen, but I donʻt think it will be a problem. (Iʻll update this review if it is) I really like the coyote color. It complements the satin blade very nice. IF it were G10 handles, the knife would be even MORE AWESOME. But then again...the price on this knife would probably jump as well.BUILD:Well made. Torx screws hold it all together and the pillar/liner construction looks strong. I donʻt mind that this knife is made overseas. Itʻs well done. (Good quality control in manufacturing) I know others have said this, and I agree...if Ontario would have skeletonized the steel liners, that could shave an ounce off the weight. But the weight (5 oz I believe) is fine to me. It doesnʻt feel that much more heavier than my Spyderco Tenacious in my pocket.CLIP:I like that the clip is 4 way adjustable. Tip down, Tip up, left, right... you can set it up the way you want. A definite plus. Itʻs a long clip too and sits relatively deep in the pocket. The only thing I donʻt like is that black paint. I felt that a stainless clip would match the blade better. Iʻve seen pics and videos of this exact knife after a year or two of use...and the chipped black finish on the clip looks kinda cool... gives it that "Boba Fet" worn in battle tested look. So itʻs not a deal breaker, and I think over time itʻs going to give this knife some personality. If I end up not liking that look...Iʻll just take the clip off and buff off the black finish myself. Easy enough.EDC-ability:Itʻs a little big for a TRUE EDC knife in my opinion. But to me, a TRUE EDC blade would be a Kershaw OSO Sweet, or Spyderco Dragonfly, or something similarly sized. (Those are the two I own and carry as EDC, so theyʻre my only comparisons) BUT, lately Iʻve been carrying larger sized blades: Spyderco Tenacious, SOG Flash 2, and now the RAT-1. I donʻt feel itʻs too big at all. I like that itʻs a little bigger, and my EDC blades become medium sized tactical folders. So, YES on the EDC-ability for ME.It was $40 dollars which is a little more than I wanted to pay, (I was hoping for around $30-35) but itʻs fine...I figured it was due to the demand for the coyote brown. For the price...this knife is STILL a very good deal. Regardless of it being made in Taiwan...itʻs well built. It blows my mind that there are folks comparing this knife to other more expensive blades and complaining about the steel, or not being made in the US, or the lack of G10 scales...??!! IF this knife were to be made that way...it would be MUCH more than $40 dollars! So judge it for what it is. Itʻs a $40 dollar knife that will take whatever you throw at it. AND it has a limited lifetime warranty. Not bad for a budget folding knife made in Taiwan. (And the plain black handle version can be bought right here on Amazon for $27 bucks!!!)If youʻre looking for a HIGH value, MID sized, LOW (to MID) priced, budget (IMO) folder...the Ontario RAT-1 fits that bill. Itʻs well worth the price. 9 out of 10 for me. *If the clip was stainless, and the liner skeletonized to drop weight...DEFINITE 10 at $40 bucks for the Coyote handles, and $27 for the black handles!!! Get one...!!!.
