Which is better (in your opinion) the Ontario Rat II or the ESEE Zancudo?

 

[d0nut]

I havent picked up the Zancudo yet, but I love my Rat II.

I carry it more than knives that cost 10x the price. It fits in my hand perfectly.

Here's a review I did with comparisons

Rat 2 hands down.

Why the Zancudo of course.

I have neither, but I do have a rat-1, if I buy one of the two it'll be an zancudo.

G10, same steel but better blade shape and steel frame lock, what's not to love (and steel lock means no lock rock like with Ti), the zancudo is better in every way!

RAT model 2 hands down, the Zancudo was really meh imo.

 

[JD Mandrell]

I have both, quality is pretty much the same, I prefer the RAT II because the handle shape is better to me, and the Zancudo is just not a very lefty friendly knife, compared to the RAT II.

I'd say it comes down to features. So not which one is best, but which one is best for you.

I personally dislike exposed metal in the grip area for a number of reasons, so if it were me I'd go with the OKC since it's a liner lock.

If I wwnt based solely on looks, I would probabpy go with the Zancudo and just never look at the frame lock wide and pretend it didn't exist.

Haven't played with a Rat II, but my Zancudo is pretty awesome.
Have to keep the wife from grabbing it (it's the orange model).
Just a heads up - the handle is zytel, not G10.
