Hey Im new to this forum and have recently been introduced to RAT Cutlery and Ontario knives. After doing a little research, I saw that Ontario makes knives for RAT and that both lines of knives are very similar. Im interested in the RAT 4 or TAK 1. Are there any real differences between the 2 lines of knives? Please feel free to forward me to a previous post if this question has already been asked. Thanks and I enjoy reading everyone's posts. Feel free to play jokes on me since Im new. I dont have a good sense of humor and will get mad, which only makes your jokes funnier. Im playing, i hope everyone had a good Christmas.

Slight correction, Ontario does NOT make knives for RAT. They are making knives under the RAT name. Rowen Mfg. makes knives for RAT Cutlery.

Welcome to the forum! :thumbup:
 
Alright thanks, thats all the info I need. Looks like Ill start with the RC-4 and go from there.
 
Welcome to the forum. The RC-4 is a great choice. I don't know your intended use but the RC-4 is a real nice middle of the road size real good for most uses.
 
My first and only also...well besides my izula...and the other izula I have on order. :D rc-4 is a great knife:thumbup:
 
I look forward to it. Ill mostly use it to dress and process game. My dad and I shot 3 deer this year and turned it into jerky and sausage ourselves. I may spring for the rc-5 sere next month too to keep in my truck. I recently bought a Lansky sharpening kit and am still practicing with it. What sharpening systems do you guys use and like? I still havent been able to get a razor sharp edge on my pocket knife. Thanks.
 
Welcome to the RAT forum! :) Soon you'll be a fellow addict.

From personal experience I can tell you that the TAK-1 it a great blade, one of my favorites, but if I had the choice right now, I would choose the RC line everytime. The RC-4 is a wonderful knife, and I love my RC-3, but the biggest difference is the customer service. Jeff and Mike and the guys at Rowen really care, and stand behind their knives.

Ontario makes a decent product, but after the sale it is very hard to get them to stand behind it, or even help if you need it.

Do yourself a favor, stick with Rat Culery, it will be worth it. :)

Cheers and again, Welcome!
 
My First RC is a RC4 as well. So far, i'm head over heals in love with it. mmm nothin better than deer jerky.
