I grew up on a farm so having a blade on you is not a question.

I’ve carried just about every brand you can think of, and one day I got tired of them breaking down from hard use and went over to the bladeforum to see what my next one should be.
It turned out to be my last one.

Ontario RAT.

Is it, high quality, low cost.
And I have carried Sypderco, Coldsteel, Berreta, Browning, Case, Buck, ... and the Ontario RAT and RAT 2 put them to shame.
