OD Green Ontario Rat II Folding Knife

karl Sahli: Das Messer ansich ist scharf, hochwertig und robust. Die Bedienung des Klappmechanismus ist angenehm. Nur die Grifffarbe ist leider ganz anders als auf den Bildern. Kein sattes Grün, sondern eine Art helles grün-grau. Sehr schade. Aber ansonsten ein durchaus gutes taschenmesser

kaykay888: Way better than a civivi and it’s cheaper. If you’re looking for a good work- better knife this is it. Quality is top notch for a 30 to 40$ knife. Better than some of my high end knives. But if you like the black blades they do scuff up easily. None painted would be the way to go

Sherry carlson: I mean it’s a rat. You’re getting the same great quality as a rat 1 but smaller and easier for edc. It’s a great little stocking stuffer for someone who wants to get into knives. Light weight, 2 different blade steels, you just cant go wrong.

P. Marek Kalytta: Habe das Messer für knapp 50 € gekauft und bin der Meinung, dass es den Preis in einer Welt, in der z.B. auch ein Civivi Elementum für den gleichen Preis existiert, nicht rechtfertigt. Es gibt günstigere Messer von Kubey oder Ganzo, die bessere Toleranzen und einen knackigeren Detent haben.
Für 30 € hätte das Messer von mir 4 Sterne bekommen. Das wäre der "sweet spot" für ein Zweitmesser gewesen, welches man bedenkenlos für schwerere Aufgaben als Kartonöffnen verwenden kann. Ich werde es zwar trotzdem dafür verwenden, dabei aber immer etwas Schmerz ob der "verschenkten" 20 € empfinden.

Cons nach persönlicher Relevanz:
-Der zu hohe Preis

-Schwacher Detent

-Sehr (sehr) leichtes vertikales Klingenspiel

-Obwohl der Daumenpin in der Theorie auf beiden Seiten existiert, ist die Aussparung in der Griffschale auf der Seite für Rechtshänder größer, sodass ein bequemes Aufspringenlassen mit links nicht so gut möglich ist wie mit rechts.

Pros nach persönlicher Relevanz:
-Leichtgängige und haltbare phosphor bronze washers - Ich persönlich bin zwar eher ein Fan von Kugellagern, jedoch gibt es tatsächlich auch Messer wie...

Kyle West: Folding knives hold a special place in my heart (and my pocket); my late grandfather made pocket knives as a hobby his whole life and he passed that tradition and skill on to me (as well as a LOT of folders). He made knives most similar to Buck brand (style and blade wise). Simple, easy to operate, traditional, and most importantly, SHARP!

I’ve recently come across a lot of extra time I’ve been able to invest in evaluating my knife collection and my EDC components.

To me, the pocket knife is the cornerstone of the EDC. This brings us to the OKC Rat II....

Wow. What a knife. I purchased the OD Green with a black blade.

I’m of the school of thought that EDC components should monochromatically match. Aesthetics are almost as important to function, and it seems companies are starting to realize this and produce quality products in more color ways. So often you only find EDC gear in black or metal. That’s great and all, you can’t go wrong matching all black, but adding an actual color gives you extra style points.

The OD green grips on the RAT II are beautifuL. The green and black look great together. The grips have all black hardware to...

Ricky Grade Ten: PLEASE NOTE: Before I review this item, I am aware that there are plenty of fakes out there, even here on Amazon. Why anyone would want to fake a $30 knife is a mystery to me... If you plan to buy this knife, please do yourself the favor and look up videos on YouTube that differentiate an original Rat II knife with a counterfeit (some are so bad, they can’t even spell “TaiWan” lol). Fakes can vary but they all Have one thing in common... they are all inferior to a genuine Rat II...

With that out of the way, I want to just say that this is a perfect knife for EDC- it is extremely light, super sharp, and available in AUS8 and a higher quality Dat 2 blade (for about $10 more). I got the AUS 8 because I wanted to try the cheaper version to see if it is worth it (And it is!- I’ll be grabbing the dat 2 version very soon). This knife has an adjustable belt clip, so you can choose what side works for you. This is the right grip size for a nice full grip, giving you control of this nice piece. The color is beautiful and the thumb stud’s ambidexterity speaks for itself. This 30 dollar blade contains qualities that not many knives in the $300 + price range have. If you need...

Hodgie: Great light weight knife for the price. The blade came very sharp and went about 6 weeks of light daily use before it started to dull and required some touch up work. I do like the material the scales are made from and it has a nice grip texture. I can easily manipulate this knife with one hand which can be an issue with many locking folders. My only complaint is the finish on the blade is very weak and within 3 weeks of light cutting of mostly cardboard and into plastic bags that hold heating pellets the finish has started to wear off and down to the white of the steel. My only recommendation is if you have the extra money I would go with the upgraded version that is made from D2 tool steel rather then the AUS-8. You will get a better stronger blade that holds its edge for much longer. The only reason I did not was due to extended shipping times and availability from amazon at the time I ordered.
