8848 Rat I Folding Knife - EDC Knife (Black)

creo que por la calidad, diseño precio, es una buena elección. El acero AUS 8 tiene muy buenas cualidades. Acero inoxidable, por lo que no tienes que tener demasiados cuidados. La puedes abrir y cerrar con una sola mano. el clip. Se puede poner en 4 distintos lugares (yo ser lo quite porque no lo uso en cinturón y la uso como herramienta de trabajo, por lo que tengo mas libertad de trabajo sin clip.) Tiene un filo de fabrica impecable. Compre un cuchillo Ray 5 que trae una funda con un bolsillo donde cabe perfectamente la navaja (rat 1) y un ferroserio, por lo que se complementan el acero alto carbono del cuchillo para hacer trabajos pesados con madera como batoneo y el inoxidable AUS 8 para trabajos finos o proceso de alimentos y para raspar el ferroserio (ya que el RAT 5 trae un recubrimiento de protección que no permite este trabajo. Esteticamente, es una navaja muy bonita, con un diseño sencillo y funcional. la recomiendo 100%

From someone who owns several knives, both higher and low end (think various Midtechs, Sebenzas, Zero Tolerance, etc), the Rat I is absolutely awesome. I still can't believe the price-performance ratio you're getting with this knife. A lot of people may think Taiwan made means it's garbage, but they couldn't be more wrong. Many high end Spyderco's are made in Taichung Taiwan, and they're better quality than the American made ones. It pains me to say that, but it's true. The fit and finish easily matches that of $100~ knives from other knife companies out there. Small details like the lockbar side liner being hardened, the standoffs are fitted into the liners for easy dis-assembly & re-assembly, the dual bronze and teflon washers, full flat grind, all make this knife a cut above the rest of the competition. I'll break down the pros and cons here: ~+++PRO'S+++~ +AUS 8 steel, slightly better quality than most of the Chinese made knives in this price range that use 8cr13Mov steel, easy to sharpen +Features both phosphor bronze & teflon washers on both sides of the blade pivot (This makes the knife wicked smooth when opening) +The steel liner on the locking side is hardened. This is not something you usually see on knives in this price range. What you get for that is a liner that will be much more resistant to wearing down from opening and using the knife, and as a result you'll experience less blade wobble or "blade play" +Fit and finish is unbelievably good for a knife in this price range. I would easily pay $60-$70 and still feel I got my moneys worth +Blade shape is great for EDC use. The full flat grind means this is a great slicer blade +Comes very sharp out of the box +All screwed construction, no cheap pins or rivets. So the Rat I can be easily dis-assembled to clean, lubricate, modify parts, etc. Only a torx screwdriver is needed +The pocket clip is reversible in all four directions. Meaning no matter if you're a southpaw or a righty, you can carry the Rat I tip-up or tip-down +Flow thorough design. If it gets dirty you can easily use a can of compressed air to blast out any debris. Cleaning this knife is a breeze +PRICE. Plain and simple, you cannot beat this knife for $25-$30 dollars. Many people consider the Spyderco Tenacious (A Chinese made knife in the same price range) a better knife. From someone who has over ten Spyderco's and is a huge fan of the brand, this knife blows it out of the water. ~---CONS---~ -The nylon handles are a little too slick. They feel sturdy, but do not offer much in the grip category. There are custom handles available though -The jimping on the blades thumb ramp is only so-so. It works, but it's been rounded off more than it should have been. I'd rate it a 60/100 -The knife weighs just under 5 ounces. Now this isn't necessarily a bad thing for most people, however the reason I'm considering this a negative attribute is because the steel liners are not skeletonized/drilled out. Meaning the metal liners could have had pieces on the inside cut out to reduce some of the weight. This is more of a missed opportunity than a Con, but I feel it should be mentioned -If you purchase a version of the Rat I or Rat II that has the black blade coating; be prepared for it to scrape and flake off in no time. It's just a thin coating of black paint. it WILL come of with regular use. Higher end knives use stronger types of coatings (See DLC coated blades for example). This is one area of the knife that the price really affects what Ontario can offer in the final product. I highly recommend going with the satin finish blade. CONCLUSION I couldn't recommend a better knife in this price range. If you're on the fence, or just need an inexpensive knife for work or EDC, get this knife. If you're still on the fence I urge you to watch a couple video reviews on YouTube and see what other people have to say. Also, if you have not noticed already, there is a smaller version of this knife, the Rat II. There has been some confusion as to the Rat II being a newer model of the Rat I. They are identical knives except for the II being a smaller knife. Depending on your needs you may be better off with a smaller 3 inch blade than the Rat I's 3.6 inch. All in all this is an absolute steal for the price. Buy two, you wont regret it.

O Ontario Rat 1 é um dos canivetes mais famosos do mundo. Excelente canivete para uso diário (EDC), já vem de fábrica bem afiado. Ele é extremamente robusto, muito bem projetado e construido, porém sem frescuras "táticas". Sua trava é do tipo "liner lock", ou seja, é boa, mas exige atenção do usuário. O clipe de bolso pode ser aparafusado em 4 (quatro) posições diferentes. Feito em Taiwan com aço japonês AUS-8. Se você tem mãos pequenas, talvez prefira o modelo menor (Ontario Rat 2). Neste momento o "Rat One" está bem mais caro, mas eu paguei por ele (em 20 de junho de 2021) R$270,55. Por esse preço, ou por um pouco mais, vale muito a pena. Como bônus, você estará apoiando regimes democráticos, e isso não tem preço.

Ontario Rat-1, una buena herramienta para la Montaña y el Campo. Si prefieres navaja en lugar de cuchillo o en lugar de multiusos, esta es una buena opción para practicantes de Senderismo, Montañismo, Trekking, Escalada, Vivacs y Aventureros en general.

Ein Gutes Messer… Aber: Die Idee ein solches Messer zu bauen ist genial. Und auch das Qualität bei diesem Preis ist ausgezeichnet… Were die Ware nicht in einem Fernen Osten Land gefertigt. Das Messer war schnell und ordentlich verpackt Geliefert. Der Erste Anblick hat aber schon etwas die Freude gemindert. Und zwar der Maschinen Anschliff an der spitze war wörtlich "Maschinell". Ungleich, Schief und Wellig. OK da mit kann man Leben. Dan ging es aber Weiter. Der Schloss Stift, für die Fixierung der offener Klinke, Stand nach dem Ausklappen des Messers gleich in der Mitte. Und bei geringerem belasten beim Schneiden, fast am Anschlag gegenüber. Und das bei einem neuem Messer. ??? Gut, und das kann man noch dulden. Aber auch das war noch nicht alles. Die Klinke hatte zwar kein Wackle Spiel, ging aber etwas Schwierig auf. Der versuch sie einzustellen hatte Leder kein erfolg. Nachgeschaut im Internet Foren, fand ich raus das da zu zwei Ursachen gibt. 1. Kein Öl. 2. Falsch zusammen gebaute teile. Nun, habe ich das Messer zerlegt, um Ursache fest zu stellen. Und da war Plötzlich alles Klar. Die klinke sollte von beiden Seiten mit jeweils einer Kupfer-Messing Scheibe und einer Teflon Scheibe belagert sein. Ja eben sollte… Auf der rechte Seite fehlte das Teflon teil. Dum gelaufen. Jetzt war das Messer schon zerlegt. Natürlich bin ich kein Betrüger, und schicke so eine Ware nicht zum umtauschen. In Internet umgeschaut habe ich fest gestellt das es nicht nur bei mir solche "Überraschungen" der Fertigung von dem Fernen Osten gab. Bei manchen Käufer Welt weit, fehlen manchmal auch gleich zwei Teflon Scheiben. Bei manchen sogar auch die Kupfer Scheiben. Wo ich jetzt so eine Teflon Scheibe suchen soll habe ich noch keine Ahnung. Also wie gesagt ein gutes Amerikanisches Messer… Leider aber nicht aus Amerika und sehr schlampig gebaut.
