Customer Reviews


I have a rather extensive collection of knives, but after I started using the RAT 5 it has become my knife of choice when heading out for camping or survival exercises. The knife is strong, can take a lot of abuse and holds an edge nicely. Yes, it's a little heavy, but the compact size makes up for it. The only thing I don't like about it is the hard sheath they include, but it does have a small pocket on it you can use to hold a firesteel or sharpener.
The model I use has the serrated part to the blade, but I have this model as well and they are both well-made knives. The end of the handle is exposed and strong enough to break a bone if need be. You can use this knife as a wedge if necessary and the coating will still stay strong on the blade.
As an all-around survival knife, the RAT 5 is a great pick for even the casual camper. The blade is not so long as to be unwieldy, but it is long enough to do most any job needed. You can step down to a 3 or 4 inch blade, or take it up to a 6 or 7 inch blade model if you need more or less blade for your particular tastes. The RAT 5 is right down the middle though and works for me.

I bought 3 knives for Christmas presents: Becker BK2, Ontario RAT5 and an ESSE4. The RAT 5 comes in below the Becker BK2 in weight, and when you add aftermarket micarta scales to the BK2, the pricing is similar. The ESSE was by far my favorite, but I'd be pleased to own the RAT-5 as well.
On the plus side: excellent price/value, micarta scales (standard), choil cut for fine work, gimping, good balance.
On the down side: Flat ground and powder coated (may get in a bind when batoning). The ballistic nylon sheath with plastic liner, while adequate, doesn't promote knife retention. I prefer fitted Kydex with Molle attachment capability. If used as a survival tool, I would have expected a wire breaker/cutter.
If the knife came with a better sheath, I would have given it 5 stars.
