Ontario Knife Company® RAT® Model 1.5 Premium Linerlock – CPM MagnaCut – Coyote Brown G10 – ON8883
The Ontario Knife Company® RAT® Model 1.5 Premium Linerlock (ON8883) represents a highly anticipated, 2026-spec evolution of one of the most legendary, universally respected everyday carry (EDC) folding knife lines ever conceived. For over a decade, the original RAT Model 1 and Model 2 set the global standard for pure, unpretentious workspace utility, but users frequently had to choose between a large frame or a small pocket profile while managing entry-level tool steels. The RAT Model 1.5 (071721088837) bridges this physical size gap flawlessly, launching the platform straight into the modern luxury-utility tier by swapping out budget materials for a hyper-performance super-steel configuration.
The primary engineering triumph of this upgraded folder is its 3.25-inch full flat ground drop point blade, meticulously forged from revolutionary CPM MagnaCut stainless steel. Running a hard and resilient heat treatment profile (pushing an exceptional 63+ HRC), this powder-metallurgy marvel provides an uncompromised balance of extreme edge retention, immense structural toughness, and near-absolute corrosion defense that shrugs off harsh sweat, mud, and humid pocket environments. Deployed manually via ambidextrous dual thumb studs, the blade locks up vault-tight against a heavy-duty steel linerlock mechanism. Moving past legacy nylon scales, the 1.5 variant features a rugged pair of textured Coyote Brown G10 handle scales. This choice of composite delivers an incredibly secure grip wet or dry, immense impact resistance, and a hard-use tactical outdoor look that holds its value across demanding environments.
Includes: (1) Ontario Knife Company RAT Model 1.5 CPM MagnaCut Folding Knife (Coyote Brown G10) and Factory Retail Box.
