The Ontario Knife Company Rat II is the brand’s mid-size everyday carry folder — satin-finished AUS-8 stainless drop-point blade and black nylon handle with liner lock. The Rat II is sized smaller than the Rat I for less-bulky pocket carry while keeping the same blade geometry and lock design.
AUS-8 stainless is the workhorse blade steel for the price tier — easy to sharpen, holds an edge through normal EDC use, resists rust without obsessive maintenance.
Ontario Knife Company has manufactured knives in Franklinville, New York since 1889 — original supplier of US military bayonets including the M7 and M9.
