Ontario Knife Company has changed the RAT Model 1 Folder series and moved production overseas… resulting in a much lower price & different construction materials.
Folding knife designed in collaboration with Randall’s Adventure Training, the RAT Model 1 Folder is the perfect companion for your outdoor adventures. 8.620″ overall length, 5.0″ closed. AUS-8 Stainless Steel Blade.
Available in the following configurations:
I’ve added pictures and specifications to the Ontario Knife Company Joe Pardue Utilitac Series.
The Utilitac is available in 8 configurations – Plain or Partially Serrated Edge, with a Black or Silver Blade, and Black or Green Handle. The Green handled models color is a suprise; it’s more of a grass / field green rather than the usual Olive Drab.
Here are the available models:
The Utilitac Series is another indication from Ontario that they are moving further into the folding knife market by collaborating with custom knifemakers to produce consumer friendly designs. The Utilitac, like it’s name implies, is a blend of utility & tactical in a solid little package that is certainly easy on the wallet: MSRP is only $50, our price is $35.99.
Maxpedition has come out with a new color variant to the ever so popular Jumbo Series – Royal Blue with Foliage Trim.
NTOA TESTED & RECOMMENDED. Ideal for discrete CCW. Collapsible 32oz. Nalgene pocket. Better For Right Side Carry. Concealed Carry Bag.
The long awaited JUMBO Versipack (#0412) fulfills the multitude of requests for (1) a larger Fatboy with more bells and whistles, and (2) an effective concealed carry system utilizing the Fatboy shoulder sling concept.
We’re big fans of the Jumbo around here – it’s pretty much the perfect man-bag, man-purse, murse, daybag, whatever you want to call it. Whenever anyone comes in the store looking for something to help them concealed carry, we direct them straight to the Jumbo.
Part of the problem of carrying concealed, though, is that you don’t want to draw attention to yourself. Colors like Black, Olive Drab, ACU camo, while nice and tactical, also scream “THIS GUY IS CARRYING A GUN!” to any interested observer. Maxpedition has responded to this with a slew of new colors.
Added pics and specs to CRKT 2910 James Williams Hisshou
Introducing the new CRKT® Hisshou™. The name means “certain victory.” It is the modern embodiment of the close-quarters sword of the Samurai.
Let us be clear: the Hisshou™, designed by James Williams for Columbia River Knife & Tool® (CRKT)®, is a specialized tool that is intended for military personnel and special forces operators. James developed this design to meet the specific requests of coalition forces overseas for a more powerful tactical tool than his CRKT Hissatsu™, which is in wide use.

Added pics and specs to CRKT 4020RH Graham Stubby Folding Razel
The Stubby Folding Razel™ is a short little frame lock with straight cutting edges of 2.0” and 0.923”. The blade is easily opened with either hand, thanks to dual knurled thumb studs. The hand-contoured ram horn scales swell to fit securely in your palm. Three stainless steel back spacers yield an easily cleaned open build. This is the perfect tool to use for any precision cutting task, such as shaving just a few thousandths of an inch from a woodworking cut, or cleaning up the inside corners of a mortise. And it is strong enough with hefty liners, a 0.13” thick blade, a deep finger choil and ample thumb friction grooves, to handle any rough cutting job, too. Whether you’re a woodworker, electrician, mechanic, sculptor, or home hobbyist, you’ll become attached to this little guy.

Benchmade announced a new double action out-the-front Automatic knife at the 2009 BLADE show – the HK 14800 Tumult.
Early word on BladeForums.com is that this is going to be a “game changer” for the automatic scene – though the MSRP of this is $280, the expected “street price” is going to be well below that… and since Microtech is the only company with similar production quality, this is going to rock some boats.
The Benchmade 14800 Tumult is being offered in 4 variants –

Added pics and specs to CRKT 2870 Kommer IFB Integral Fixed Blade
Introducing the Kommer I.F.B.™, a new Integral Fixed Blade that is simple and just about indestructible, ready for special forces use with a multi-position quick-release sheath.
Columbia River Knife & Tool® (CRKT®) presents a new knife designed by Russ Kommer for special forces units. He knows that operators want a knife that gets right to the point. So there are no bells or whistles, nothing to break or fall off. Instead, it is a single hot-forged piece of carbon steel that is just about indestructible.

Added pics and specs to CRKT 2840 Kommer 2-Shot Skinner
The new CRKT® Kommer 2-Shot™ & Surf ’N Turf™:
One is a versatile hunting knife/sheath system, the other is a folding fillet knife that’s also a great big game boning knife.Russ Kommer keeps coming up with ideas for high-value knives and tools that every hunter and fisherman needs. We at Columbia River Knife & Tool® (CRKT®) are excited about these two new products which were inspired by his years of experience as an Alaskan guide.
One of Russ Kommer’s favorite custom knife/sheath packages is the 2-Shot™. He has used it daily in the field as a hunting guide in Alaska and around the world. Russ says, “I’ve always preferred a smaller semi-skinner, even for the biggest of game. You just use the hump near the end of the blade to locate your index finger. And the blade is short enough that you can work inside the animal and feel where you are at all times.”

Added pics and specs to CRKT 2385 Folts Minimalist
The new CRKT® Minimalist™ is just the least knife structure imaginable, yet it has a useful Wharncliffe blade plus a secure and comfortable handle, thanks to Alan Folts.
Alan Folts is a knifemaker and metalworker in Greenville, N.C., who makes a remarkable range of custom objects, including titanium chopsticks. His Minimalist™ neck knife has proven to be very popular, so we are offering our new Columbia River Knife & Tool® (CRKT®) production version.

Added pics and specs to CRKT 2380 Ritter RSK Mk 5
Introducing the new CRKT® RSK Mk5™. This lightweight skeletonized fixed blade fits in a mint tin, yet it’s a knife you can bet your life on™.
Doug Ritter’s RSK Mk5™ (Ritter Survival Knife) by Columbia River Knife & Tool® (CRKT®) is not a knife you would use all day for normal work tasks. But, based on Doug’s philosophy that “if it isn’t with you, it can’t save you™,” it is compact and light enough to fit in almost any small personal survival kit or stash-away location, yet robust enough that it’s a knife you can bet your life on™.
