RAT Model 2, Coyote Brown

Randall’s Adventure Training has been designing, marketing, and selling survival and military-style knives since their first survival courses in the Amazon jungle of Peru. One of their earliest designs was the RTAK, originally produced by Newt Livesay’s Wicked Knife Company before Ontario Knife Company took over production. ESEE also marketed the RAT skinning/survival knife made by John Greco and the RAT Laser Strike knife made by TOPS (which ESEE has since reintroduced under its own brand). Randall’s Adventure Training also designed several well-known knives for Ontario Knife Company, including the RTAK II, TAK, RAT-7, RAT-5, RAT-3, and the Model 1 and Model 2 folders.

The Ontario RAT Model 2 from Randall’s Adventure Training is a scaled-down version of the extremely popular RAT-1. It is a folding EDC knife built to withstand the hard use associated with hunting, outdoor, and survival tasks. For its price range, there are very few knives that can match the performance of the Ontario Knife Company RAT Model 2. It features an ergonomic handle, smooth action, and a rock-solid lockup. The four-position pocket clip allows users to customize their preferred carry method. The slightly offset blade-to-handle design gives this knife a unique and distinctive look. Whether you’re expanding your EDC rotation or looking for a reliable knife for survival, hunting, backpacking, or as a gift, the Ontario RAT Model 2 is an excellent choice. This version features a tough D2 tool steel blade, an air-hardened steel known for high wear and abrasion resistance.
