Okay, a lot of people are recommending you save up for better. I don't entirely disagree ($100 will get you some amazing USA made knives), but I would first think hard about whether you're buying this to have a knife that will stick with you and do everything you ask it to, or whether this is the beginning of the collection sickness.
If your plan is to buy a good, solid USA knife then forget this forum exists until you need a fixed blade or whatever, I strongly recommend the tanto Blur I mentioned earlier. No recurve, USA made, absolute classic design, if you find you dislike the assisted opening you can remove the torsion bar and have a great manual knife, it will hold an edge much better than your RAT but still be easy to sharpen and it's backed by one of the best warranties in the business.
If, however, you're falling into the sickness that permeates this forum, scrape together a little more money, put your loose change in a jar and save up for a Buck 830 Marksman. Realistically, your RAT is going to be a reliable, solid knife that will do everything you should reasonably expect a folder to do. The Marksman is all that, but it's also FUN. Fantastic flipping action, strong and innovative lock that's a blast to play with, very pocket friendly and backed by one of the other best warranties in the business. You won't gain a ton of edge retention over the blur, but you'll gain loads of fidget factor. It's dead easy to spend a night on the couch watching television and endlessly flipping the Marksman.
