Perfect for a suit when you need discretion. In that case, rat 1 won't work, but rat 2 with its dimensions is perfect for me. I honestly recommend it more.

Ontario Rat-2 Folder D2 Folding Knife - Desert Tan
Engineered for practicality, the Ontario Rat 2 is a compact iteration of the Rat 1 folding knife, making it an excellent choice for a reliable EDC (Every Day Carry) tool. Featuring a blade crafted from high-carbon D2 steel and a handle constructed from glass fiber reinforced nylon, it ensures durability and strength.
Drop-Point blade, D2 steel
Featuring a drop point blade profile crafted from high-carbon D2 tool steel, this knife benefits from a substantial chromium content, classifying it as semi-stainless. Renowned for its exceptional abrasion resistance and prolonged edge retention, this steel is engineered for durability. A black coating has been applied to the blade, delivering additional protection against corrosion. Dual thumb studs on the blade facilitate easy, one-handed deployment for both right- and left-handed operators. Jimping along the spine provides secure thumb placement, ensuring control and stability during operation.
Handle made of durable composite
Constructed from glass fiber reinforced nylon, the handle offers exceptional durability and resistance to both impact and adverse weather. The interior is fitted with steel liners and a Liner Lock mechanism. An ergonomic deep index finger groove enhances handling security, while a lanyard or cord attachment hole is located at the rear.
Reversible clip
Outfitted with a spring clip, the knife ensures easy transport by securely fastening to your belt or pocket edge. The reversible clip is customizable for four distinct carry positions: tip-down, tip-up, accommodating both right-handed and left-handed operators.

Probably everything about this little rat has already been written. The classic speaks for itself. I am one of those people who will always appreciate it for the quality-to-price ratio. For me, it's yet another Rat in the pack :)

Smaller and lighter, lacks a thumb stud. The difference is that here they used D2 steel, which in my opinion is better than the AUS8 used in the older model. D2 holds sharpness better.

When it comes to quality, there's not much to say because it's in a class of its own—after all, it's Ontario. This model is very nice because it's smaller and handy, so it's more comfortable to carry every day.

I have been using it for 2 months and I am very satisfied, so far there has been no need to re-sharpen it, it keeps its sharpness very well, the knife is compact and perfect for everyday carry.

Fantastic little knife, perfect for everyday use at this price. Highly recommended. You'd probably have to pay twice as much for a similar Benchmade (just to be clear, my favorite knife is the Griptilian).

This is my second one. The first one mysteriously disappeared from my pocket after over a year of use. I appreciate it for the ease of opening it with the thumb of either the right or left hand. Very handy. Well-shaped blade and handle.

I have been using it for some time and I am very satisfied. In addition to its great appearance, the quality leaves nothing to be desired. It arrived as sharp as a razor. The size is perfect for EDC. It's so light you don't feel it in your pocket at all.
-
Nice small folder for EDC. Also, great D2 steel is used here instead of the rather weak AUS8 found in cheaper models. The knife is truly worth recommending.
-
I have the green version, great folder - smaller than its bigger brother, so it's more convenient for daily pocket carry. As for build and quality, there isn't much to say, Ontario has gotten us used to top quality.

Great folder—smaller than its bigger brother, so it's more convenient for everyday pocket carry. As for the build and quality, there’s not much more to say; Ontario has accustomed us to top workmanship.

The knife arrived sharp. It's light, sleek, just right for a woman's hand. It opens and closes easily with one hand. I also have the RAT 1, which I also like. Very good quality of workmanship and enjoyable to use.
