This is weird. I usually buy Kabar(Becker series), bk2 is my all time fave thus far. I have a great collection of knives of some of the best, here is the thing though. I just started getting into Ontario products especially rat series now. It started with rat 1 and rat 2 folders which I must admit turned into my edc knives past several months. So I figured wth, I was happy with them folders, so I did some research, I nearly bought an esee 6 and junglas, but many people who did testing etc were saying the rat series is just as good, so this am I ordered rat 7, and rtak 2, I have rat 1 and 2 which I love, I ordered a rat 3 a month ago which I believe is as good maybe even better than my bk14. I must say I've been impressed with Ontario. Many people told me back off from esee and get these, they said too much money for jus better sheath and coating. Coating isn't factor for me due to stripping it off my knives anyway. I maintain them well. I jus hope one of these two could give at a decade of use like my tank BK2 has done. My question is did I make right decision? I purchased Rat 7 with green handle I got it for 70.00 with tax and shipping (amazon still has them for 69.50 on their site as we speak)and rtak2 I got for 91.00 with tax and shipping so altogether I spent under 164.00 for these two. I just hope I made the right decision. Basically I'm looking for advice what to do with these and what not to. Bk2 was easy can do whatever whenever, actually all my backers are tanks imo. Just wanna if any nuances I need to know or avoid. If I'm happy with these I will purchase rat 5 for shits and giggles.
