Ontario Knife Company® RAT® Model 1.5 Premium Linerlock – CPM MagnaCut – Black Carbon Fiber – ON8884
The Ontario Knife Company® RAT® Model 1.5 Premium Linerlock (ON8884) represents a highly anticipated, 2026-spec evolution of one of the most legendary, universally respected everyday carry (EDC) folding knife series ever built. For over a decade, the original RAT Model 1 and Model 2 set the gold 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 (071721088844) bridges this physical size gap flawlessly, while launching the platform straight into the modern luxury-utility tier by swapping out budget materials for a hyper-premium, high-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, 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 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 or basic G10 slabs, the 1.5 variant features a gorgeous pair of **3D-sculpted black carbon fiber handle scales**. This premium structural layout delivers an incredibly lightweight carrying weight of just 3.40 ounces, a refined tactile grip weave, and a striking, high-end visual aesthetic that fits as comfortably in a dress pocket as it does on a rugged trail campsite.
Includes: (1) Ontario Knife Company RAT Model 1.5 CPM MagnaCut Folding Knife (Black Carbon Fiber) and Factory Retail Box.
