Review of the Ontario Knives RAT 1
A good solid portable knife is a great part of an EDC (Every day carry) kit. There are hundreds of knives on Amazon claiming to be "the one", but the average user wants something solid, dependable and affordable. This is where the Ontario Knives RAT 1 really excels (compared to Spyderco and Kershaw). General physique The RAT 1 has an [open] length of 8.6", of which 3.5" is the blade. At 5 ounces, the RAT 1 is slightly heavier than some of the other competitors in this space but I find the weight just right.
