Ontario Knife RAT I D2 | Tan

The Ontario Knife RAT I D2 | Tan is a proven classic among folding knives, widely respected by military personnel, hikers, and EDC enthusiasts worldwide. This model has become a true icon of the Ontario Knives brand thanks to its functionality, reliability, accessibility, and versatility for a wide range of tasks — from everyday use to fieldwork. The design by Jeff Randal combines simplicity, ergonomics, and attention to detail for maximum comfort and control in any situation.

The key advantage of this version is the blade made of D2 tool steel. This is a popular choice among professionals due to its high hardness (58-60 HRC), exceptional wear resistance, and long-lasting edge retention even after working with abrasive materials. The Drop Point profile is ideal for precise cuts, piercing, and delicate work, while the Satin Finish preserves the blade’s attractive appearance and protects it from corrosion.

Thanks to thoughtful functionality, the knife quickly comes into working position via a dual thumb stud, convenient for both right- and left-handed users. The reliable Liner Lock secures the blade even under heavy load. The ergonomic handle is made of lightweight, durable fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN), with finger grooves and a textured surface for a secure grip even in challenging weather conditions. The four-position clip allows versatile carry based on tactical or personal preference, and the lanyard hole expands options for customization or attachment to gear.

Ontario RAT I is a tool for those who value the balance of price and quality, reliability under any conditions, and maximum functionality without unnecessary features. Suitable for intense daily and tactical use, it perfectly complements the gear of soldiers, rescuers, sappers, hunters, or travelers.
