Ontario RAT-1A handle scales

In 2008–2009, Ontario Knife Company—partnered with Randall’s Adventure & Training (RAT)—introduced the RAT-1A (model series like 8870/8871) as the assisted-opening evolution of the iconic RAT-1 (manual liner lock, debuted 2003). Responding to demand for faster deployment in tactical and survival scenarios, Ontario added their patent-pending Tactical Assisted Opening (T.A.O.) mechanism—spring-assisted via thumb stud—for lightning-fast one-hand operation while retaining the RAT-1's proven ergonomics and durability

The Ontario RAT-1A features a 3.625-inch drop-point blade in AUS-8 stainless steel (satin or black-coated, later variants in D2/S35VN) for corrosion resistance and slicing, with the same index finger groove, jimping, textured Zytel or G-10 handles (black, orange, desert tan), ambidextrous thumb studs, 4-way reversible clip, and liner lock—ideal for tactical EDC knives, survival folders, and hard use

Priced affordably (~$60–$90 MSRP, USA/China-made), it earned praise for smooth assist, reliable lockup, and value—quickly becoming a bestseller and modern classic. Variants (plain/serrated, G-10 scales, colors) followed, solidifying the RAT-1A as a benchmark in assisted-opening tactical folders and Ontario's RAT legacy of rugged, field-proven performance

When you sign up for a specific newsletter, we (Gun Grips X Svechnikov Workshop) add your email address to a corresponding mailing list. While it is there, we know that we can contact you by email regarding that topic.

You can always have your email address removed from our mailing lists. There are multiple ways to do it:

Once your account is registered, just sign in and unsubscribe from newsletters in profile settings.
Use the “Unsubscribe” link in our newsletters that you receive.
Send an email to [email protected].

We may use a third-party email service (MailChimp) to send newsletters. Some members of our staff can view mailing lists with email addresses. That way they’ll be able to remove your email address from the mailing list, should you request us to do so.

Please note that mailing lists are independent from each other. If you decide not to receive newsletters at all, you’ll have to unsubscribe from all the mailing lists. Even if you do that, you’ll still receive account-related emails (such as order status notifications, password reset emails, and more). It is essential for operating an online store.

If you decide that you no longer want to use our store and would like to have your personal data removed from our database (or if you’d like to get all the personal data associated with your account that we have), please send an email to [email protected].

If you believe that your personal data has been misused, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. We’re obliged by EU General Data Protection Regulation to let you know about this right; we don’t actually intend to misuse your data.
