Love this knife so much I have 2 in DT and 2 IN AUS-8. Both are excellent and have not failed me.
I bought this knife and the black and desert tan mod 2 absolutely love both of these knives. The weight and aesthetics of the design are amazing. Can’t beat that price either. Super happy with my purchase.
Loved my aus8 version so. Once i heard they came out in D2 i was all over it. This knife is buttery smooth for such a cheap knife. Would recommend this as a starter knife all day.
I love my rat 1 in d2! The brown is more like a dark tan to me though, but it still looks great! It came to me hair popping sharp and after about a month of use every day for edc tasks it's still just as sharp. I couldn't be more pleased with my choice to pickup this knife. The reviews done lie! Customer service with blade hq is amazing too! Said it would take 2 weeks to deliver and I got it 3 days later! Very impressed.
This knife really lives up to the hype. A great steel that really holds an edge. This was sharper out of the box than any other knife I have ever purchased. Blade is perfectly centered and the handle is smooth without being slippery. I bought this knife to be a worker and not beat up some of my more expensive blades and it works for everything I have ever needed it for. I highly recommend this knife to anyone looking for a great edc and doesn't want to break the bank.
I'm completely blown away with this knife. It's my first experience with d2 and I'm very impressed. Stays sharp longer then any of my other knives including s30v manix2. My only issue is opening the knife, there's not much room to grab open the blade using your 2nd hand so it's really a one handed opening knife and with such a strong detent the thumb stud takes some getting used to along with breaking in the knife. Everything is smoothing out slowly but not without ripping my thumb up first lol. I just wish it was as easy to open as say my manix 2. Since it's getting better it's still 5 stars.
Since joining the knife world I have heard of many praising the RAT series. Im glad I listened and picked one up. Holy cow this is the nicest knife I have handeled in this price range. Comes scary sharp, you can shave with it easily.
I love this knife I own 2 of them came super sharp love the d2 tool steel
Feels great in my hands and isn’t too bulky for edc
We do alot of hunting to stock freezers I've processed 3 whitetail deer & 2 hogs with mine really comfortable, doesn't get slick on ya, edge holds up great, blade is a great slicer, ez to clean really like it in barn & kitchen great performance against Bark River & Benchmade only knock is lock on mine is a pain to release
As I took this knife out of the box, my first impression was that it's very heavy with an abnormally long handle. However, after carrying it for a day and using it for normal tasks like opening boxes and cutting zip ties, I realized this knife is beautifully functional. The grip you get is outstanding and the jimping on the top of the blade is nice and aggressive. The D2 blade steel comes hair-shaving sharp out of the box and holds an edge well. The brown G10 is rather attractive, and the black deep-carry pocket clip is a winner! I just wish they'd make this knife a little lighter weight. There was also some side to side blade play out of the box which was disappointing but easy enough to fix.
On paper this knife offers a very good steel for its price (D2). In person the brown scales look darker than they do in this set of pictures but are still a nice color. I docked some stars on this review mainly because the detent on my particular piece is very weak. The knife can be opened by shaking it twice without the use of the thumb stub. I don't carry it as often anymore for worry that it might open itself in my pocket.
