High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Ontario RAT 1.5 LinerLock is a hard-use folding knife built for those who need a dependable edge in unpredictable environments. Whether you're on the job, on the trail, or simply need a reliable EDC blade, the RAT 1.5 delivers practical performance with upgraded materials and a proven design trusted by professionals and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
At the core of this knife is a 3.25" CPM MagnaCut stainless steel blade, precision-ground into a versatile drop point profile with a clean satin finish. MagnaCut is engineered for edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness—three qualities that rarely coexist in a single steel. That makes this blade more than capable of handling the daily grind, heavy cutting tasks, and anything else the field throws your way.
Thumb stud deployment allows for smooth, controlled one-handed opening. The knife locks up solid with a stainless steel liner lock that holds firm without adding bulk. The black G-10 handle scales offer a textured, grippy surface that feels secure even when wet or gloved, striking the right balance between comfort and control.
Weighing just 4 ounces and measuring 4.38" closed, the RAT 1.5 carries easily in a pocket, pack, or clipped on your gear. The deep-carry pocket clip is adjustable for tip-up or tip-down carry on either side, making this knife fully ambidextrous and adaptable to your preferred setup. It’s a solid option whether you're right- or left-handed, and its streamlined profile disappears in the pocket until needed.
Built with field-proven construction and an upgraded blade steel, the Ontario RAT 1.5 is the next evolution of a trusted classic. It's compact enough for everyday carry but strong enough for tasks that demand more than the average folder can deliver. Designed, engineered, and built with durability in mind, this knife is made to earn its place in your rotation. Order it today from SMKW!
