The Ontario 8870 RAT1A SP in OD green is the olive-drab variant of the assisted-opener Rat I — spring-assisted opening, black-coated AUS-8 blade, OD green nylon handle. OD green is the classic military field color, blending with woodland and forest environments.
The assisted-opening mechanism is the key differentiator from the standard Rat I — one-handed deployment from a half-open position when speed matters.
Ontario Knife Company has manufactured knives in Franklinville, New York since 1889.
