Great Value
I mean what else can be said? It's a great value knife in D2. Great cutting ability. The blade is excellent and very sharpenable with a half-choil and good cutting traditional drop point shape.
I don't necessarily like the ergonomics of the knife. The blade is shifted backwards a bit, on purpose. It's ok for some things, but worse for others. The jimping is awful, IMO. The…

handle is OK, and well chamfered, but the finger groove around the liner lock is a bit deep, and the choil ramp less rounded. I like the forward part of the handle adjacent to the blade, which effectively creates a forward finger choil for fine work grip, The back end of the knife could be a bit more tapered than contoured, IMO for a better grip. See ESEE Zancudo for example.
Overall a great outdoors knife, especially at this price. I think I like the Zancudo slightly better, but there are tradeoffs with both. I would like to see them get back together and create a "Ratcudo" that takes the best of both for a perfect outdoor budget knife.
Ergonomically the perfect knife
Everything about this knife seems perfectly designed for maximum usability. The linerlock cutout provides a secure place to put the index finger while the thumb sits on the jimped ramp up the back of the blade. The lockbar is easily accessible and I can close it easily with my left or right hand. It has the perfect amount of slightly smothed jimping on it, making it grippy but not… read more painful when closing the knife. The thumb stud has a dome on top of it and doesn’t shred my thumb like Kizer’s thumb studs. The FRN scales are rounded off instead of just being chamfered. They are not as grippy as G10, but it’s possible to grip the knife so solidly that it doesn’t make a difference. I dropped the knife onto a piece of slate and the corner of the FRN scale only had a slight scuff that I buffed out easily with my thumb. I’ve stabbed through the bottom of plastic pots without worrying that this knife would slip. When I first saw photos of the Rat, I thought it was a bit of an ugly looking knife, but once I held it in my hand, I realized that every part of this knife had a practical purpose, and I now find it quite nice looking. The edge of the AUS-8 steel was visibly rolled after a week of use (cutting through mostly cardboard, food, and small shrubs), but after stropping, the blade was sharp enough to shave with once again. The screws are all nicely held in with blue Loctite (no red Loctite on this knife) and it has holes to mount the clip in all four positions. Of all the knives that I’ve held, this one definitely feels the best in my hand (people with very large hands may want the Rat 1 instead). It’s hard to imagine a knife that I could like more than this one (although maybe I will dye these brown scales).
Awesome knife for every day carry at a great price!
I can’t say enough good things about this knife. It came super sharp and so far has maintained its edge after being used almost daily since I bought it in January. It is a great weight and the clip gives it a pretty deep carry. The handle material is great and super sturdy. I have fortunately...or maybe unfortunately depending on how you look at it...had to use the handle as a… read more blunt tool to crack open an ice film that had formed around my trash can lid during our lovely midwestern polar vortex, and the handle still looks brand new! Also during that same polar vortex, I had to use the blade to get through an ice film that had formed inside and around the gas door on my car...as well as use the blade to pry it open. The blade came through that unscathed as well! While I wouldn’t attempt any of those things with...you know...a Sebenza, for 30 bucks you can’t go wrong with this knife. I used a little bit of knife pivot lube (also a great product) in the pivot and the knife flies open with a flick of the thumb studs. My blade came perfectly centered as well. Overall a fantastic value!
