Folding and fixed-blade RAT models
RAT I and RAT II are folding knives suited to everyday carry and general cutting. The listed RAT I has a 3.5-inch blade and measures 5 inches closed; the listed RAT II configuration has a 3-inch blade and measures 4 inches closed. Both examples include a thumb stud, pocket clip and lanyard hole. Materials differ by configuration: RAT I Satin Finish Black uses an AUS-8 stainless steel blade and nylon handle, while the selected RAT II Red G10 has an S35VN stainless steel blade and G10 handle. These details apply to the listed versions, not every RAT configuration.
RAT 3 is a compact fixed-blade option for outdoor cutting. Its 3.75-inch, black powder-coated blade is made from 1075 high-carbon steel. The full, extended tang continues through the handle, creating a solid blade-and-tang structure. This version has tan canvas micarta handle scales and comes with a belt sheath. Unlike a folder, it does not close for pocket carry, so the sheath is part of its carry setup.
Machetes and company background
The Military Jungle Machete is intended for clearing vegetation rather than detailed knife work. Its 18-inch coated high-carbon steel blade and full tang suit broad chopping strokes; the handle is black plastic. The manufacturer lists the scabbard as available separately.
Founded in 1889, Ontario Knife makes knives, cutlery, machetes and other tools. Its range includes products for sporting and utility use as well as military-pattern designs. Materials, construction and features vary across the catalog, so checking the specifications of the particular model and configuration helps match a knife to its intended tasks.
