Ontario Rat II Knife Review. The best budget blade ever or a global conspiracy?

[@23b823]

There’s something about the general vibe of these videos that is so great. They’re also the perfect type of witty, dry humor without being tryhard or cringe 👌

[@ebosspt]

Well... if Nick Shabazz has one...

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I mean I’m pretty sure he does... I should have fact checked myself better

[@ebosspt]

Advanced Knife Bro lol. I'm sure he does, and I'm sure it's a beautiful thing... but I hit the like button for your videos, and not his. You're definitively the best reviewer on KZbin. I appreciate your work.

[@NickShabazz]

Or does he? #conspiracy

[@ebosspt]

Nick Shabazz Ha! ... was literally watching your 2107 video from last week when you replied. Nice to see you're addicted to these vids, too!

[@NickShabazz]

Eric Boss Absolutely. AKB is great. Love his videos.

[@RN-ts2kq]

Brother, this review is a step above. You’ve got talent. Just got a RAT 2 in D2 steel in the mail today and I’m considering selling all my more expensive knives. It’s not assisted but it flies open as if it were. Perfect ergonomics.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks man!

[@weouchhere9338]

I love this knife, it’s a classic... I have one in my collection right now planning on adding another. It’s a Beautiful blade & now that I added a deep carry clip I really have a hard on for this blade!

[@Stahlwerk88]

Your creativity never ceases to amaze me. It doesn’t even matter if I’m interested in the knife you’re reviewing- I watch, regardless, and am never disappointed. The wit and dry humor seals the deal, and each new vid is more a clever arthouse short than a simple knife review. I dig it.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks man! I try to keep it different from review to review... keeps everyone wondering what I’m going to do next

[@mythrol]

My opinion falls in line very closely to yours on this one. Slightly small for my tastes but nothing wrong with it and I can see why it's well regarded. If someone told me I could only use this knife for the rest of my life, I wouldn't be offended. I've now added 1 to the view total.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks!

[@I0nlyRunFactory]

The Rat Model 2 is now available in D2 as of today. Check out knifeworks' new arrivals page. According to a post on bladeforums they'll also be offering them at BladeHq and Knife Center. Same Knife, Same Handle colors, better steel. Kind of ironic that they would become available the day after you do a review on the AUS-8 version. Great review none-the-less.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Alright guys... get to buying it!

[@MrRPM110]

ironic? its no coincidence, THEY are watching....

[@matttheknife8293]

Your zip tie comment made me laugh mighty loud.

[@skippthemag2858]

I have the RAT 1 and absolutely love it. $23 (AUS 8 version), feels big while cutting but small in the pocket. The AUS 8 gets wicked sharp very quickly, usually 30 seconds on a strop and good to go. Love the blade shape and the handle feels great. great vid, love a little humor in a knife review!

[@DurzoBlint178]

"Feels big while using but small in the pocket" it seems like there could be a joke in there somewhere -thats what she said-

[@J.T.Stillwell3]

Part conspiracy theory, part knife review. Comedy? Can't say I've experienced this before. Been watching a little too much infowars.

[@vanderstelt50]

I-Theist #globalists #freeassange #hillaryforprison #rogerstone

[@J.T.Stillwell3]

Advanced Knife Bro maybe next time wear a tin foil hat when mentioning conspiracy theory.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I did in a video a long time ago... I think it was a flashlight review.

[@J.T.Stillwell3]

Advanced Knife Bro do you subscribe to any pet theories? 911? JFK? Flat earth? NWO? Fluoride in de water? UFO's? Fake moon landing? Crop circles? Ancient aliens? Lizard people?

[@CoordinatedCarry]

0:31 watch out Nutnfancy, shots fired!

[@ozzlayer]

This is the best kife chanel in KZbin. Love the content and the honest reviews. 👌

[@Thereal111t]

“Thanks for watching sheeple.”

[@calumryan6328]

I helped my friend pick this out as a gift for her brother for xmas, since I was a casual knife guy. Then I couldn't stop thinking about this knife, and finding the perfect edc knife. Id really like a benchmade griptilian or bugout but I think I might get one of these and see how it works out.

[@phillmckrackin5741]

One of those in my pocket. One w/ D2 on my desk. A large w/ AUS-8 in my truck. If I ever buy another knife it will be another Rat as a replacement if I lose one..

[@Watchandcutgearchannel]

My wife wasn't really a fan of knives ... funny enough on Christmas years ago i bought he a little RAT2 for her purse ... more as a gag gift. When i picked it up and handled it i became instantly impressed. Best 25 dollar knife i've handled. The D2 version is a steal as well. Its great for the money... i don't find it to be in my top of my list but definitely something i would recommend as a very budget friendly, good little user knife especially in the D2 version. The action is pretty impressive at that price point.

[@jeffthomas5291]

The humor. The humor. The humor!👍

[@timothywitt9031]

Great humor as always. Love the Rat II but the Model 1 is hands down my favorite EDC All day. Every day and twice on Sunday.

[@benjamin9901]

The fluoride is the reason why I have so many knives with 8cr13mov. Also if you add up the numbers, it equals 21. Blackjack!

[@jasonchatham4170]

I picked up one of these a few days ago. So….does AKB initiate into the secret society or bohemian knife club or whatever? Do I fill out an application with Rockefellers?

[@KOROKIK]

I so need THAT knife for some Spirit Cooking 🔪😉 .... Super Moon coming up ... My Alester Crowly poster fell off my wall

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

The super moon is a false flag

[@moparhemi1777]

"...now speaking of your pants" *zooms onto bishop * Sir, you are a living meme!

[@MichaelTravis12c27]

Just when I think you can’t get more ridiculous....lol! Keep ‘em coming!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I can always be good for a minute or two of dumb shit

[@ShearMeZ]

Just to be that guy, FRN scales, not G10.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Looks like THEY didn’t cover it up well enough!

[@warpedone2]

How did I only just now see this illuminaughty version blade~ keep smokin the abrikadoobie. More video's with this theme~ keepem coming?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

We'll see!

[@1722blackbart]

Great video! Hey how about a video on all the confusing steel types for us plebs with cheap knives and no clue what difference they make?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

People would get mad... because I'd say there's no difference. I mean there is, but sure as shit if I can tell with as many knives as I have. Cedric and Ada is a great channel for that. I still might make this video down the road though.

[@christopherdavidson4706]

Really, really, really, enjoyed the sarcasm in this video....or did I?

[@johnlerner9259]

The sarcasm throughout is clever and good for a bunch of yucks. Great job.

[@ryanb8466]

I joined your channel just because of this review. 👍🏻

[@amhockeyclub9405]

Whoa whoa whoa, AUS8?! Bro, you need the D2 version to have any street cred around here man. I mean, nice review, or something.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Auuuussss eeeeeiiiggghhttt.. Wa wa

[@71simonforrester]

Dry humour is the best humour, I smiled a lot then realised I watched this in my smartphone so THEY know everything about me now.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

They were recording you bro. Not to alarm you, but they saw EVERYTHING.

[@zoo2you]

I played this video backwards and heard the voice of satin or maybe it was Hillary.

[@andrewthompson2536]

Bet the voice of satin sounded silky smooth.

[@michaelrossi3707]

Andrew Thompson ohhhhh yeeeeaaah

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

NO U FOUND OUT! The deep state is coming!

[@edvanek8244]

zoo , I heard the same thing. Wait.....it's Hillary. If you listen really hard, you can hear Bill singing in the background. I think?

[@ricktemmen6272]

Ed Vanek He's playing the Sax

[@charlescollier7217]

"Super steels have large quantities of Flouride in them." Well of course. How else can knives avoid getting cavities? You might be interested to know that this knife, which has a blade and a handle too small for your liking and a locking mechanism for which you have contempt, will be available this year in D2, providing you the steel upgrade you so desperately could not care less about, all for a modestly increased price. You're welcome.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

You basically did the D2 version review for me in 2 sentences... saved me 8 hours!

[@charlescollier7217]

LOL!

[@darrenerickson1288]

Needs more exposure of the full Pentavorate. Fun fact: this is the only knife you can purchase at the notions stand at The Meadows. And I hear Mike Myers carries one too.

[@josephdykes1820]

Time traverlers favorite blade. I have proof.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I need to see a grainy photo with red circles drawn on it to be certain!

[@mtscott1]

Endura for the win!

[@Mr.Fields.]

I regularly open paint cans with my R2-D2 and it’s still flicks open smoothly after a couple years of daily use.

[@charliedoyle118]

Now this is what I'm taking about. Good cheap knives that won't cause me interest on my credit cards. I have this knife and it spends the most time in my pocket out of all my knives. It's my "illuminati" knife. Excellent video review. Keep churning them out.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Just churned out another! Thanks man!

[@judgeholden4136]

Been watching knife vids all day and you're the best channel so far. I'll let you know if somebody beats you off, or you can let me know. Would you recommend this or the Rat 1 or Rat 1 D2 in the under $50 range or is there something else that you think is better? I realize that if I was working instead of watching videos, then I wouldn't be asking for under $50 knife recommendations. I also like larger knives in the 3.5" range.

[@judgeholden4136]

Or I can also just save up for another month and buy the Para 2

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Rat 1 is a little on the heavy side for my tastes but a lot of people love it. My taste in that size blade is a spyderco tenacious... check out my Budget knife recommendations video.

[@mitchelldelmar9682]

...and then AKB was never seen or heard from again. His wife claims he went to take the garbage out and never returned. Excellent creative writing and editing, btw Imo fyi. Your vids are always a treat.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Sometimes I get inspiration with the videos... sometimes I don’t... thanks man!

[@archiebunker3654]

Lucky for you they also make the Rat model 1. Sounds like that's the size you're needing.

[@mr.morris2907]

I knew this day would come. That's why I'm watching this from my bug out location on TOR with my foil beanie

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

The end is nigh!

[@leejordan9566]

Now with D2!! The ultimate EDC for people who don't know what EDC means. Can't be beat in its price range but I must admit I've acquired a Cutback Mini also. Time will tell.

[@isaiahgray3057]

The Ontario Rat II was the gateway drug for me into knife collecting.

[@ninjaneil902]

I too, prefer the Endura for EDC, but have the Emerson wave version... because I too, think zip ties are dumb.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Plus they rip up your pocket

[@davezito888]

Yes!!!! OKC Need to review the RAT 7

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Noted!

[@PerceptionVsReality333]

I prefer the RAT1 with a D2 blade. This one is just too small I had one but gave it away.

[@ericwhite3526]

Nicely done always a laugh from your reviews

[@CedricAda]

I prefer my Lionsteel Medici, uh, I mean SR2

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I wouldn’t sleep next to that knife!

[@DRum886]

Something to note: BladeHQ now offers the RAT 2 in D2 steel @ just under $40. The Rockefellers and Kennedys have listened to our prayers!

[@YesterdayMeetsToday]

To small for my hands and difficult for me to deploy, so gave mine to my son and he promptly lost it.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

He didn’t lose it... he wanted something else!

[@Prosecute-fauci]

That's what sons are for... I bet he enjoyed it while it lasted though.

[@shadow105720]

Boating accident?

[@conradsmith9332]

I've considered "loosing" my ganzo so I can get a spyderco;)

[@w.callens1629]

you can call him Richard...

[@edgblades]

Hilarious review, as always. Great little knife, too! Wish they'd offer it in D2, like bigger one.

[@ericholladay5280]

NewCastleNinja they do. just saw it on blade HQ

[@edgblades]

I only saw it in D2 for the Rat 1

[@ericholladay5280]

NewCastleNinja I was pretty sure I saw them on there an hour or so ago, but I don't see them now. they are supposed to be coming very soon, though

[@edgblades]

Cool, looking forward to that! -Thanks!

[@charlescollier7217]

The D2 Rat 2 is new for this year. I think it's still at the pre-order stage.

[@tommylabors]

Just replaced my Rat 1 I had for two years with a new Rat 1, and the new 1 came with a stonewashed blade,is that something new.

[@SteveKluver]

Bro. I thought for sure, that we'd finally get to see some candle batoning! Are you saving that, for the D2 version? ; - )

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Spoiler alert: won’t be a D2 version review!

[@barrywonderdog]

That's what THEY want. They plant antennas in D2 steel so THEY can listen in on your conversations. That's a scientific fact: there's no real evidence for it, but it's scientific fact.

[@rfrank1955]

Dig it. I have large hands ( I wear “large” size gloves) and this knife fits me great. Great value knife that’s easy to put a sharp edge on (you will get lots of practice sharpening the RAT II with its aus 8).

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Yeah it’s nice and thin behind the edge so it’s an easy sharpen

[@tomfury6276]

Why didn’t you get the Rat 1? It’s more your size! Get the D2 version...

[@Italianman203]

Not to be that guy but I think the scales are GFN, or at least they are on mine. Or I'm just part of the conspiracy...

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I think your part of it. Should have looked closer. They feel G10 ish??? I can’t wait for the comments to continue to roll in 2 months now. Fuck it, I’m out!

[@Italianman203]

It was still a fantastic and entertaining review. Lets be real though, nothing will ever satisfy these fluoride indulging flat earthers

[@frenstcht]

I've got a fixed-blade Lionsteel made of M390. My teeth have been having fewer cavities, but my precious bodily fluids are at an all-time low. But now it all makes sense: Lionsteel is an Italian company, AND THAT'S WHERE THE POPE LIVES!!!

[@TwZGFX]

i see this knife spraying our stores everyday!

[@Bwbravowhiskey]

Doesn’t matter; we’ve all crossed the the Einstein Rosenbridge when the largest particle collider split our universe open and allowed other multiverses to open in ours

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

A universe where we have MINIMUM size restrictions on the knives we carry.

[@shermanwilliams7724]

Liked and subscribe halfway thru first video. Hands down best knife review. Hilarious and informative. Absolutely love it.

[@therealchickentender]

Tellin' ya. Skyline. :) The choice of Grange chapters nationwide. Maybe.

[@StephanT7]

Awesome review!

[@Spzirglas]

The only thing worse than a Spyderco delica zip tie mod is the mall ninja convincing themselves they’re going to use it for self defense

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Ain’t that the truth!

[@PatheticPeasant]

I just got mine 20 min ago. Paint on the blade has a flake scratched off already and the plastic scale is cracked from over tightening. Looks like $40 worth of junk. Sad because I followed the hype and should have gotten a qsp or civivi instead. 😢

[@MikeMcCormick1325]

I love these vids... It's like "The Office" of knife reviews.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Glad you like them man!

[@CharliMorganMusic]

Bro, this seems like a really good knife.

[@TheTheGrathr]

Illuminating!

[@DSNugent91]

How am I only finding your channel now. KZbin and its crap recommend shitty algorithm, found your channel through a video description.I love the rat, definitely one of the best knives under $40. Watch 4 of your videos so far and I'm digging it, subbed and looking forward to your content.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Yeah... I tend to see a lot of my videos recommended on the side bar of my videos. I dunno if that means something, but I don't think my videos are suggested enough on other videos... the style is kind of different, so many people who like my videos aren't the typical people. I dunno- I think about it a lot- but thanks for checking out the channel!

[@zeshwonsos]

been watching your shit for years and just now noticed the pope tap. ha! nice

My man!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

It’s to the viewer to decide. I ain’t gonna do it for you!

[@AaronIsaak47]

Man first up, insanely good review, WTF? Ontario and the illuminati. Now Ive seen everything. I dusted this knife off a few weeks back and Its quickly becoming my favourite work EDC once again. Why? Because this IS the modern Opinel no. 8. It has the same blade profile and FFG , amazing at food prep, the same 90 degree spine for ferro rod striking, its cheap, the Aus 8 gets easily shaving sharp and does away with the twist lock by incorporating quick one handed deployment and a pocket clip. I can even use this knife for wood whittling just like my opinel without the hotspots. Yeah its a little squishy behind that choil but who cares really, we’ve become too spoilt by Spydercos 50/50 choil. You can easily manipulate this knife in many hand positions well enough. I actually like this steel better than the D2 version because the D2 has been a total pain in the ass to sharpen on my Zancudo so Im happy to go back to the Rat 2 in good ole Aus 8 as Im too impatient and D2 takes forever. 10 licks on the white ceramic stones and zing. Ive changed my mind, this cheap knife is awesome. Dont let first impressions fool you, this Jeff Randall design gets a lot of things right and is a great option for the budget concious knife nerd.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

It's a good snappy blade. I'd prefer the handle and blade to be a little longer, but not quite like the Rat I. However what I like and prefer is not what everyone else does.

[@antoinedoinell]

damn it, spit my beer all over my lab top watching this HAHAHAHA
