After noting improvements offered to them by soldiers and cops in the field, RAT Cutlery took the popular Ontario/RAT RAT-3, added 3/8" of handle length, a glass-breaking pommel, larger handle screws, then differentially heat-treated the 1095 carbon steel and dressed up the Micarta slabs to build the RAT Cutlery RC-3. They then coupled this improved model with a sheath system (included with any RC-3 purchase) that can be carried in just about any configuration for the perfect, lightweight carry knife. The RC-3 features a substantial upgrade in overall fit and finish, as well as  lined gray Micarta slab handles and a Super Tuff black textured powder coat on the steel. 

The partially serrated version features five equally spaced aggressive serrations that can be re-sharpened with a 3/8" diameter hone. These serrations are much more efficient than most and easily cut through canvas, seat belts or other flexible materials. 

The Sheath System

This knife includes a jump-proof MOLLE back plate with drop-leg extender ring, belt loop, tie-down holes, and  heavy duty MOLLE strap. Each sheath has three retention devices that may be used for securing the knife: 

• 1) A friction fit, molded blade cover in coyote brown.

• 2) A Velcro retainer strap.

• 3) An elastic pommel cover that is un-obtrusive until you pull it over the butt of the knife.

This sheath system will also fit the Ontario/RAT RAT-3 knives.

The sheath system is also designed so the MOLLE back plate can be removed and the Nylon sheath carried via a boot clip (included) or Tek-Lok (sold separately). The system also works as a survival knife sheath by allowing the user to securely store a considerable length of paracord by wrapping around the sheath and through the lashing holes.  Patent Pending
