    Ontario Rat 1

    Speaking of value, the Ontario Rat 1's are great. I love the size of the knife...the thing is built like a tank and really has nice ergo's. Of all my knives this one has the sweetest sounding clunk when it locks up. For the $$$ $25-$30 it's a steal IMO. (BTW not my pic, but I do have the Satin Combo and Plain Edge)

    Yea...Nutnfancy def. likes the sound of his own voice. If you want on I'd get it sooner than later. R.A.T. seems to be doing its own thing with the ESEE knives now. Actually I saw a some pics of the new RAT/Esee folder prototype that they're gonna come out with...looks pretty sweet and more expensive

    Am I the only one who thinks this folder is inspired by the Spyderco Military?
    The mind commands the body and it obeys. The mind orders itself and meets resistance.

    Sorry, I do not see the inspiration.

    I suppose it is possible, but if someone tried to do a compare and contrast between the Military and this knife, I would be expecting a LOT of contrast, and very little compare.
    Thanks,

    I think I heard something about the eseee/Randall guys actually tested and used the Spyderco Military extensively! Based upon those along with some other designs they came up with there own. Those guys are serious users of blades and survival! I guess that means that the Millie is one bad mutha?!!!?
