It's good, it's cheap.
I'm not really a fan of thumb studs, and there's not a whole lot of purchase on the liner lock. Does it work? Sure, it's fine. This shows up on a lot of "best knife below [...]$" lists, and that's totally understandable. Is there a better knife for this price point? Well, I've beaten a Ka-Bar Dozier half to death and the thing still works as well as it did out of the box. I haven't… read more done that to this knife, at least not yet. Out of the box, for ergonomics and aesthetics, I'd take this one over the Dozier. Neither is going to blow your socks off. They're both perfectly adequate. For whatever your personal preferences are, I'm sure you can find something marginally better for the price in one way or the other. But, yeah, this is somewhere near the optimum value in a general kind of way.
Great value
Smooth action, solid lock up, and great edge retention make this knife a truly great value. For 40 bucks you get better performance than many knives 2 to 3 times its prics.
Disappointed
I was excited when I first got it, the action is smooth, lockup is solid, mine was perfectly centered, perfect edc size. My problem was when i went to close it one day and noticed there was no detent, upon disassembally I found out there was no detent ball. Very disappointed in quality control. If not for this issue I would give a 5 star rating.
Pleasantly Surprised
Was very surprised at the action out of the box. Flicks open better than most I have used. Very sharp out of the box.
My work knife for life.
On my quest to find the work knife for me, I stumbled upon the Rat 2 in D2. End of story. This knife is small enough to stuff into any pocket, it holds an edge forever. And its comfy. This will be the only knife to grace my pockets for work. Love this knife.
First real knife I bought...sharpest factory edge of all my knives.
This little Rat II is truly a sweet knife. I imagine some day starting an adventure trip for students in the back country and "issuing" them each a Rat II. Its such an amazing slicer with that razor-sharp-out-of-the-box D2, and will teach them to take care of their gear as they protect that D2 from rust. (although i have only touched up mine like once with oil and have had no problems… read more with rust). Truly stellar action, prefect ergos, thumb studs are my favorite of all my knives, and the bladeshape and the way the knife fits in your hand make it feel like its ready and wanting to cut stuff. Highly recommend for those "beginner" knife snobs. Warning: this may get you hooked on knives....
Awesome for the price.
Stacked up against a benchmade bugout this finds its way into my pocket about 50% of the time because its so good. blades incredible slicey as well for opening things and cutting up food.
Perfect
I absolutely loved my Rat model 1. It was a bit large and dulled quickly. So this naturally fits the bill. I recived it perfectly centered and almost drop shut smooth. All I had to do to it was give it my personal mirror finished edge touch up from the fairly coarse factory grind.
Hits above it’s weight class
You’d pay 3 times more for this quality of a knife. Getting it at this price is almost theft. The D2 acquits itself well as usual. It does take a little tweaking to get it just right.....which is fine. Laser sharp from the start. Balance, blade steal, ergonomics, action.......check! Thank you.
Nice knife, especially for the $
Nice size. Fits well in the hand, for a smaller knife. Works well left handed too. Action fliped open nicely, even when brand new.
Amazing EDC
I held off owning a Rat until the model 2 was available in d2. Finally here we are.
Truly an amazing little knife. It flicks open really, really well, and the edge is razor sharp. Very lightweight in the pocket.
