Managers Note: This is the older model of the Ontario RAT-5 knife with the RAT-5 stamping on the blade and the black phosphate finish which is effective but certainly not pretty. It also has the deluxe combat nylon sheath with a pouch. These knives are the same as shown in our picture. It has been discontinued and replaced with the new Model RAT-5 (8667) which has embossed blade markings. We only have a few of these left so if you want one please place your order without delay. Please note the phosphate finish will have scuffs and scratches even though it is new. If this is unacceptable then please do not place your order.
Ontario 8638 RAT-5 1095HC Serrated. The Ontario RAT-5 Knife that features a 5" drop point blade made of 1095 carbon steel, .187" thick, with a Rockwell hardness of 55-57. The blade has a black phosphate coat, a texture notched thumb rest for secure grip and full tang construction with greenish tan canvas Micarta scales, and a skull crusher pommel with lanyard hole. A Cordura nylon sheath with liner and accessory pouch is included. Overall length: 10.75".
Manager's note: Zinc Phosphate blade coatings most likely will be scratched upon arrival. The cardboard protectors scratch these coatings from shipping vibration. These scratches are not a defect, but a characteristic of the coating itself. Please do not order this item if this is a concern.
