Bought a Rat1 on Amazon and it looks much different than every picture that I've seen of them. Is this legit? Or did I get a fake?

Open a photobucket account and upload your images and copy and paste the IMG code in the post.
 
okay, got the pics up now. Sorry for the delay. The logo on the blade and on the pocket clip look different from every rat1 picture I have seen. Is this a new change by Ontario knives or is the a knockoff? The knife itself feels well made and doesn't appear to be cheaply made. Any help would be appreciated. I bought off of Amazon (had a gift card) so I can probably return it if it is a fake.
 
Looks legit from what I can tell...
I agree about the markings though. Every RAT knife ive seen all have the same logo
 
Yeah, it's the different logo that's got me wondering. Every image search I've done shows a much different logo.
 
Hey guys,

You're thinking of the Randall's Adventure Training logo. There was an expiration date on our license for that logo and it has since passed. Instead, we're now using our Maker's Mark logo, an "O" in a box, on the clip. The same mark is used on our blades but with a sort of winged addition.

In short, that looks like a real RAT to me. It has the same logos as the one I've had for about a year, and I actually physically went and got that one from one of our shelves here.
 
Thank you for the piece of mind! It didn't feel like a cheap knockoff at all. Glad it's just the logo change. The Ontario website still has images of the older logo their site and I was a bit concerned. So happy to be keeping it. Thanks for the clarification!
