All are D2 Tool Steel. Sharp as razors. Excellent, smooth operation. I switch between the Rat 1's and the Rat 2. Didn't think I'd care much for the Rat 2. But, it has grown on me.

Both in D2, and they are my main EDC. I keep mine stropped, and they stay sharp. Best bang for the buck. I get mine, like a lot of stuff like flashlights with my amazon reward points. Even better - kinda free. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079KTDLN...CYG9U&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

Mine is very well made, locks up tight, and is exceptionally sharp. I'm not fond of the flat handles and plan to gift this one away.

These knives are a real bargain 👍 They hold an edge better than knives I've paid much more for and they sharpen easily. A touch up with a leather strop is often all they need to keep 'em shaving sharp.

On to my back up Rat2. I did get the Rat 1 in D2, but being used to the R1, it seems a bit big as my EDC. R2 fits in my watch pocket well.

A touch up with a leather strop is often all they need to keep 'em shaving sharp. Been carrying the Rat 2 in D2 daily, for a couple years and it has impressed. Like said above, sharpens easily and holds an edge. My satin blade stained a bit from some sort of chemical, but is none the worse for the wear. Great knife, great price I need to pick up another Rat in D2 for the backup.
