OKC RAT Model 2 Folding Knife - Black Blade

RAT Model 2 Folder

The OKC RAT Model 2 is a mid-size folding knife for everyday carry: opening boxes, cutting cord, trimming tape and handling camp chores. This version pairs a black-finished blade with a black textured handle, so nothing on it reflects light. The blade carries the Randall's Adventure Training logo alongside the OKC name, marking it as part of the RAT line the two companies developed together. It suits anyone who wants a dependable working folder that rides in a pocket and opens with one hand.

Features

• AUS-8 Stainless Blade — The blade is stamped AUS-8, a Japanese stainless steel known for taking a keen edge and being easy to resharpen in the field.
• Drop-Point Profile — The spine slopes gently down to the tip, giving a strong point and plenty of straight edge for general cutting.
• Black Blade Finish — A dark coating on the blade keeps glare down and matches the all-black handle.
• Plain Edge — A single unserrated edge runs the full length, which slices cleanly and is simple to sharpen.
• Ambidextrous Thumb Studs — A stud on each side of the blade lets you open it one-handed with either thumb.
• Liner Lock — A spring steel liner inside the handle snaps behind the blade when open, holding it in place until you push the liner aside to close.
• Jimped Spine — A row of small notches on the back of the blade gives your thumb a grip point for controlled cuts.
• Textured Handle Scales — Fine diamond-pattern texture across both handle sides improves grip, and a finger choil near the blade keeps your hand anchored.
• Black Pocket Clip — A screw-mounted clip with the triangle logo holds the knife upright along a pocket seam for quick access.
• Lanyard Hole — A hole at the butt of the handle accepts a lanyard or paracord fob.

Build and Carry

The handle is built from two textured scales over steel liners, held together with visible screws rather than rivets. The blade pivots on a screw-head pivot with a thumb stud close to the handle, so opening takes a short, natural push. Everything visible, from blade to clip to hardware, is finished in black.
