Review: Ontario rat 3 - Envio rápido e seguro. Faca excelente muito bem acabada e de tamanho ideal pro uso no edc. Review: Solid versatile knife! A hunters must have! - I have the Rat-5 and want the Rat-3. I bought this one for a buddy and it fits better in the hand (subjective). The weight and length of this blade is great for skinning animals if you're a hunter. My Rat-5 skinned an adult moose no problem not needing a sharpening like my Gerber 3" blade 3 years prior. The Rat-5 is better for making kindling in the bush but that's really it. I love this blade for the light weight and length of blade for fine work. Worth every penny.... the sheath is horrible so I made my own! ## Features - Made in the USA - Overall length: 7.90 inch - Blade length: 3.90 inch - Included components: Knife with sheath ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B075S5BK2V | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Age range (description) | Adult | | Blade Edge | Flat | | Blade Length | 3.9 Inches | | Blade Material | Carbon Steel | | Blade Shape | Drop Point | | Blade Type | Fixed | | Brand | Ontario Knife Company | | Brand Name | Ontario Knife Company | | Color | Brown, Black | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging with Sheath | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 688 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00071721086659 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Micarta | | Included Components | Knife with sheath | | Included components | Knife with sheath | | Is Product Cordless | Yes | | Item Length | 3.9 Inches | | Item Shape | Elongated with a pointed end | | Item Type Name | Ontario Knife Company, Rat-3, Plain Edge with Black Nylon Sheath | | Item Weight | 0.28 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Ontario Knife Company | | Model Name | ['RAT-3'] | | Model Number | 8665 | | Model name | ['RAT-3'] | | Orientation | vertical | | Part Number | 8665 | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Everyday Carry | | Recommended uses for product | Everyday Carry | | Reusability | Reusable | | Size | 4 بوصة | | Special Features | Durable | | Special features | Durable | | Style | Modern | | Theme | Outdoor | | UPC | 071721086659 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Adult - **Brand:** Ontario Knife Company - **Model name:** ['RAT-3'] - **Recommended uses for product:** Everyday Carry - **Special features:** Durable ## Images ![8665 RAT-3 Plain Edge with Black Nylon Sheath, Black/Tan, One Size - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51YRejbbjrS.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: The description claims in comes with a nylon sheath. Is this nylon fabric or hard plastic? Does it also come with a teklok?** A: It's nylon fabric with a plastic sheath inside to protect the nylon. **Q: What steel is it .** A: Listed as 1095 carbon steel **Q: Is this a full tang knife?** A: Yea it is. **Q: Why is it saying this-blade material: 1095 carbon steel when it is not true?** A: I don't know exactly how to answer your question. I checked other places (bladehq, ebay, etc.) and get mixed answers. Most say 1095 and some say 1075. Not sure which is correct. Either way, I really like mine and don't think there is a huge difference either way. I do recommend this knife. Hope this helps in some small way. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ontario rat 3 *by P***O on 26 April 2022* Envio rápido e seguro.

Worth every penny.... the sheath is horrible so I made my own! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The single best fixed blade under $100: Ontario RAT-3 *by C***R on 24 December 2025* The Ontario Knife Company Randall’s Adventure Training 3, or the OKC RAT-3 is the best bang for your buck fixed blade in the survival and tool knife market. Micarta handles, 1095 carbon steel, full tang, and MITUSA! This is one of the most utilitarian and practical fixed blades on the market. Pleasantly comfortable in hand, not oversized so you can carry it most places, tough as hell, and pretty easy to get a good edge on. If you can destroy this knife, kudos. The plastic sheath leaves some desire (the nylon is even worse IMO) but did come with a tek-lok adapter when I purchased mine (may not anymore). It’s the perfect size knife for scout carry (the eyelets are the perfect width for a standard duty belt and some 550 cord) or thrown in a go bag. Buy with confidence. Pictured is mine after almost a decade of use and abuse on Active Duty in the US Army, 2 deployments, and multiple trips to Atropia. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ontario Knife Company 8665 Rat-3 Plain Edge with Black Nylon Sheath, Black/Tan, One Size - Ontario Knife Company 8667 Rat-5, Plain Edge with Black Nylon Sheath, One Size - Ontario Knife Co. 8668 Rat-7 Fixed Blade Knife 7" Drop Point 1095 Black Carbon Steel Blade 5" Tan Micarta Handle for Outdoor, Tactical, Survival, Bushcraft, and EDC --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ec/products/255828512-8665-rat-3-plain-edge-with-black-nylon-sheath-black](https://www.desertcart.ec/products/255828512-8665-rat-3-plain-edge-with-black-nylon-sheath-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ecuador* *Store origin: EC* *Last updated: 2026-08-06*
