I have both the RAT1 and 2; both are extremely comfortable to carry and to use. It's as if they were able to create the perfect fit for every hand! The blade steel holds up well and sharpens up quickly on my Tri-Angle sharpener. The carry easily and deploy quickly. I think we have a winner :cheers:

I actually quite like the look of the RAT II, and they're available at a reasonable price too. They look well designed for general use, which a lot of "tactical" folders don't. I just don't have the need for one though, and have a surplus of folders already

"Extreme Edge Custom Kydex" makes some auto-opening kydex holsters for this knife I believe. You simply pull the knife straight out and it will lock and deploy the blade.

Thanks.  I'll have to check it out.

The factory bevel seems fine on my Model 1's, I just touch up with the 40 degree and it gets razor sharp.
AUS8 is good that way.

I am starting to appreciate the 3 inch blade length for EDC and need to get me one of these.
Absolutely love the Rat Model 1 and if its half as nice it will still get a fair share of use.

 :think:  Dare I ask where South African'sh people could buy these?

The original Randall logo is better yes.

The black one was bought locally from Safari and Outdoor, the Orange is a Knifeworks exclusive that I got from the USA.
R750 locally; R360 from the US.

There is also a Ganzo copy of this knife, which has 440C steel and a Benchmade-style lock.  Its around $18 shipped on Amazon Prime.  I have it, but the the Rat-1 is preferable as it is lighter and has somewhat better blade steel.  And its the real thing.

I actually just got that knife.  It's a Ganzo G727M.  It's a Rat-1 clone, but a tad bit shorter.  It does have an access lock.

I have one of those [Ganzo copy] on its way...just out of curiosity,you understand ;)

By purchasing the different versions, you are uniting the knife world in the bonds of brotherhood and fraternity.  Well done, sir.

 :salute:

At under $20 delivered from the Far East,it'd have been rude not to!
There is no beginning,or ending,and for this we are thankful,cos now is hard enough to understand!

Rat-1 is preferable as it is lighter and has somewhat better blade steel. 

440C is noticeably better than AUS8; just cannot trust makers who slap labels on knives for purely marketing purposes.

We can assume the Ganzo is not 440C; no reason not to buy 8CR13 in China and treat it well. Label it as such and I'd be happy.
