Thank you. Yeah I'd have to be careful to test the pocket clip tension... but I can kind of tell how strong it will be due to how thin the metal is and how much it flexes when lifted. I am still working out the finer details of this new system.
Thank you. I have more ready to go. I'm glad you found it useful... it's just my opinions but hopefully it might be able to help some people decide on which knives might work better for them.
I have to say this is the Best and most honest knife review I have yet to see on youtube, I like your shit because you real and not a pleaser on here. Keep on Keeping on Brother
X4CTO The RAT is one very fast and smooth opener. I'd have given it the smiley on the deployment category. :-) The other big factor is that the RAT at half the price still won out. Definitely value for money there.
old video, old comment, but even 2019 i agree, its the most straight forward and precise review of the two.. in fact its the first video that shows liner thickness side by side.. i always thought the tenacious was thicker.. nope, theyre the same in that respect.. and now with a D2 version out.. rat 1 all the way
@X4CTO Its been a few days since I recieved my tenacious, and I love it. The feel is great, they deployment is great and im getting better at flicking it. It is sharp, my cuts can attest to that. I have only had two problems, one of them is about everytime I wake up, or leave it for a long time and pick it up again, I see these minoot spots on the blade. I don't know if it is rust but it looks like it. They seem to wipe off easily but has this happened to you? or is my house just humid?
I am a huge Spyderco fan, and own many including a Tenacious. I adore my Rat 1! Currently a Tenacious sells for $45 and Rat 1 goes for $25. At those prices Rat all day. If Ontario would make a Rat in g10 scales, and milled out those liners to get down to 4.5 oz.... It would DOMINATE the Tenacious. Deployment wise my Rat is silky smooth, and I get it out faster. Biggest beef with Tenacious is that the sharpened edge goes all the way to the handle, which makes for some scary moments when closing.
Yeah I did spend some time doing up the sheets, then a good friend of mine made me up some sheets on the computer so I could just print them out... as seen in some of my later knife comparisons. I need to do some more of these as a matter of fact.
@X4CTO or is my house just humid? I dont think it is, it is about 35 now, it stays around there, give or take maybe 10 percent. I always wipe off moisture, even my hand sweat, I dont know what could be causing these sopts
They are both excellent blades for sure, but it's indeed always good to have a variety of blades. The RAT 1 is still among my favorites for the money, great knife.
Thank you, I appreciate the compliment. I plan on doing more in the future indeed... just need to get some sheets printed out and decide which to do next. =)
The Rats are excellent knives... you should see mine now after a couple of years or so... HAHA. It's been used very heavily... never failed me once! I should make an update on it actually. You're welcome... thank you for watching! =)
Thank you! I agree... I do wish the scales on the Rats were G10, but I still love it. I love the Tenacious too, both excellent blades for what you pay for them, it's a hard choice for sure. I actually find the Tenacious (and family) all sharpen a bit easier than the Rats though. I have all of the Tenacious family, lol... except for the Persistence. You're welcome, and thank you for watching it.
Good review. I have both and love them. The main advantage I see, in the Tenacious, is the spine. It is a very sharp 90º and strikes a ferro rod effortlessly, showering HUGE sparks. The spine, on the Rat 1 is a bit softer, but still works for fire starting.
I own both. I like the looks of the blade better on the Rat 1. I like the liner lock release on the Tenacious because it is about 1/4" deep and has a longer serrated lock release compared to the Rat 1 which is about 1/8" deep. I cannot flick open my Tenacious, and I loosened the axis lock on my Rat 1 and I can flick it open easily and fast when you do it just right. With cold and wet hands, the Tenacious is probably easier to open with the large thumb hole and close with the deeper lock release. I think both are potentially slippery and could have a rougher texture. You can now order the Rat 1 with spring assist. Price, Tenacious $38, Rat 1 manual $28 and $44 spring assist on Amazon delivered.
The Tenacious is a clear winner in blade shape. Good belly and for self defense your tip is on center line. And btw i found the Tenacious to be sharper. And pocket clip is better on the Rat 1 because it doesn't shine so much.
LMAO! You know me... gotta be specific. I might do a more in-depth scoring system eventually... and some of the videos I shot have X's instead of faces, lol.
I think I would have to agree on that... I like the Rat 1 more myself. I do wish it had some G10 on it though. The Rat 1 comes out so fast and smooth, it's hard not to love it.
I received an Ontario RAT 1 yesterday after ordering one and I was quite surprised at the robustness of the knife in general. Haven't had the chance to try out a Spyderco , but I will have to see for myself. Enjoying your videos very much. Glad I made the purchase for 25 bucks, I believe it should be worth way more considering the quality of the knife in its entirety which is absolutely superb.The lock up is tight and I dig the open pillar construction. Makes it way easier to clean .If I could recommend a blade you don't have yet, it would be the Ontario Utilitac 2. Runs at about 23 dollars right now on Amazon. Slightly smaller in terms of handle and blade length but, the quality is just as good as the RAT 1. Thanks again for the videos.
Thank you brother, I appreciate it. They are very useful to have when comparing... I can send you the printout template for them if you'd like to use those.
Thank you! I agree with you about the spine of the Rat 1... very abrasive... I actually smoothed mine down because of that. I do like the G-10 better honestly... but man I love how my Rat 1 flicks open. I think either one is a great knife. I do have a tendency to lean more toward Spyderco usually though. I do prefer thumb holes to studs too. You make very good points which are hard to fault... I should have at least tied them I guess, haha.
Great review! After much debate I've finally decided which to buy...I'm gonna get both pic them! They're both great knives for the price! Thanks for helping me decide!
I also have to add that I am a Spyderco fan boy and in my small collection of knives the Rat 1 is one of the very few pocket knives that can stand with the Spydercos when talking price point. Rat 1 is just a very special knife, it's strong and has a blade that screams hunting, fishing, camping and bushcraft. It is too heavy for me as an EDC but it's my go to camp knife.
I own both, the Rat 1 spends every day in the shoebox with the rest of my knives, and the Tenacious spends every day in my pocket. I find the Rat 1 to be tricky to open. If the Tenacious came in VG-10 or higher, it would be the only knife I own.
the rat 1 was the first "serious" knife I had, and I couldn't decide wich one to get, the rat 1 or the tenacious, but I saw a video from a guy called "vininull", he speaks russian I guess but it has subs and he beat the crap out of both, and for me the rat 1 was better, in the spyderco the lock up failed every time (the rat broke, but the blade didn't close) blade snapped easyer and some more stuff, go check he's videos
@@PH-hk8mb yeah, I agree, but I live in Argentina, tri ad lock cold steel knives get really expensive. These two were not cheap but had a reasonable price, and TBH I didn't buy it to beat the daylights of it, used it long time as edc and still have it. Anyway, cold steel is one ofy favorite brands (although I can't afford them lol) after the rat 1 I bought a kobun, carried it as a self defense knife (still do) and it saved me a couple of times from shitty situations
Tomas Merino that’s good to hear I travel the country and was threatened by a druggie and one look at my big CS Voyager and there were no more problems
Tomas Merino that’s good to hear I travel the country and was threatened by a druggie and one look at my big CS Voyager and there were no more problems..... anyways I hear ya! Great review I loved the comparison and I think you were dead on! I live in America so I get them all very cheap when I find them on sale but i give them as gifts or hopefully I lose or break them so I have an excuse to buy the newer stuff haha
@@PH-hk8mb damn, if I lived there I would have one of each model lol you wouldn't believe how expensive they get here... And in my case they didn't even see the kobun. Tryed to talk to them (mostly thieves, a common problem here) but the ones who didn't listen, sure thing they felt it
The Rat 1 offers 4 or more colors on the handle. I think the tenacious offers black and blue, but I don't know if that is all, and the blue is a sprint run I think?
Yeah I do like the ramp on the Tenacious' blade... does make a great feeling knife. I had a hard time scoring these two because they are both excellent for the money. I think they both do well in the pocket, but honestly I do prefer the way the Rat rides in my pocket and feels in my hand slightly more personally. That's hard for me to say too because I'm really a Spyderco lover. Thank you, I appreciate it.
good comparison, but personally i preffer the tenacious... the detent on my rat-1 is not anywhere as good as on yours, it won't open in my pocket but i can flick it out effortlessly by swinging the handle. i also would've given build quality to the tenacious for the g-10 and a better finished blade because the spine is nicely rounded out as opposed to the "sharp" spine of the rat-1, it can actually scrape your skin if you're not careful while reaching into your pocket. ergos also tenacious, for
Nice comparison, I have a RAT 1 and love it, awesome knife but the G10 on the tenacious is the center of my interest in it. Was wondering to go with a second RAT1 or to go with a tenacious, will go for a tenacious for variety :P Thanks for the review, keep up the good work
... also tenacious, for the traction of the g-10 vs the slippery frn, that plus the thumb ramp it just feels better to me. and i would also have given looks to the tenacious, but that's just personal preference. my score would be tenacious 12, rat-1 8. both great value though, highly recommended.
Well I think the Rat 1 is a great choice indeed, I love mine. Very fast deployment. It's actually the one I judge many others by when talking about deployment speed. I might have to do a dang ol' Boomhauer impression in one of my dang ol' videos man. LOL. King of the Hill kicks ass... my wife and I used to watch that every night. =)
Thank you, I appreciate it. Well either one you get, you'll be getting a great blade. I have separate reviews on them as well if you want to hear some more rambling about them, lol. HAHA, I've not heard that one yet... but someone told me I sound like that hillbilly dude from Left4Dead, LMAO! I love King of the Hill... not I'm going to have to do my Boomhauer impersonation on a video, LMAO!
Well thank you for taking the time to watch and comment, I really appreciate it. I will have plenty more comparison videos like this in the future, on all types of things... some I already have completed as a matter of fact.
Been looking at reviews on the RAT all day, and this video is what sold me on it. I own the Tenacious plain edge, but I want to buy a combo edge knife. So the debate was Tenacious combo edge or RAT combo...RAT wins out. I also don't really want two of the same knife. I like having all different kinds of knives.
Yeah the Rat would be great with G10 for sure. Wow man... didn't know that... so it's like the poly on the Glocks huh? Guess it should be pretty damn tough then nonetheless. Good to know.
The handle material oh the RAT is Nylon 6. Sure, just some plastic.... polymer actually. The same polymer used to make the frames of Glock pistols. Swinging on G10's nuts? Not quite.
I realy digg the look of the Rat1.. But i just ordered the Ten, only cause i think that the Rat1 is more a Hike/Tactical blade, where as the Ten is more, to me, an good size EDC. Just my opinion, dont worry i have the Rat1 on my must get list (perfer its looks to the Ten by far) great vid thank you for sharing it, best wishes bro.
I don't know if you removed this comment intentionally bro... but I read it in my messages inbox. Anyway... yeah the Rat is great... so is the Tenacious... very hard for me to choose on some of the scoring here. Thank you for the compliment.
It all comes down to "philosophy of use" for me. Rat 1 = Hunting, Fishing, Camping and comfortable heavy work knife. Tenacious = EDC Blunt Truth has a video where the comfort of the tenacious fails as it was hurting him though glove, this would never happen on the rat 1. I also watched another guy field dress a deer with the rat 1 which was extremely impressive... but with that said I think the tenacious is cooler and more practical as an edc. If I had to have only one, I'd go Rat 1.
I like them both, but tend to lean more toward a thumbhole usually. Yeah the Rat 1 is definitely a quick deploying knife the more you work with it... pornstars legs indeed, lol.
tenacious comes in black, blue, green, and fde in satin or black blade with options of semi serrations or full smooth a total of 10 options... smh. also I own both and i feel for us fattybobattys the tenacious with a slimmer profiles makes pulling out (the knife :) easier. the rat seems to deploy faster for me but hands down the tenacious wins. the rat is great but I feel you get more edge and a "cool" factor with the tenacious. either one is a winner.
Haha, I gotta have some boobies somewhere in my video ya know! I love the Rat1, it's definitely a great looking blade. I don't think the Tenacious looks bad, but I do prefer the Endura look a lot more.

Great comparison man! I would love to see more of these! Thanks. This was very useful. Something I havn't seen on YT before. 5/5
Hey X, what do you think about the USA made Gerber autos? Have you had any experience with them? Do you think they'd reliable?
Thanks for comparing the two, this was a fun video to watch, but now I may have to get both of them :)
Thank you.
I agree both great... kind of hard to choose one over the other.
Thank you.
Yes that would be great one... I currently don't have an 870 my possession... but I will remember that if I ever do.

Found your channel a few days ago. Very entertaining man, and informational! Like your shit... keep doing it, you'll break through! Peace bro!
Lawrence Wilhelm Thank you brother, I appreciate the support.
"Swingin on g-10's nuts" ...hahahahahaa. instant sub
Thank you, I appreciate it.
I will probably do these along with separate reviews on each individual item too.
Thank you... and I agree completely! I really would have a hard time choosing between one of the other if I could only have one.
Great video bro, good comedy as always. Good comparisons, and good specifics to point out. Thanks
Yeah I did spend some time doing up the sheets, then a good friend of mine made me up some sheets on the computer so I could just print them out... as seen in some of my later knife comparisons. I need to do some more of these as a matter of fact.
Very very good comparison! I need to get me some comparison sheets like that
Thank you... I'm not getting rid of any knives at the moment, but I'll let y'all know on here if I ever do.
You do great head to head reviews, hope you will do more of those. Your channel still my "go to" knife channel.
This is a really good comparison man, when I get the money I'm gonna pick me up a tenacious. Thanks for the great vid sir
@X4CTO or is my house just humid? I dont think it is, it is about 35 now, it stays around there, give or take maybe 10 percent. I always wipe off moisture, even my hand sweat, I dont know what could be causing these sopts
I wish everyone would do comparisons like this. Things would become so much more simple!
They are both excellent blades for sure, but it's indeed always good to have a variety of blades. The RAT 1 is still among my favorites for the money, great knife.
Thank you, I appreciate the compliment.
I plan on doing more in the future indeed... just need to get some sheets printed out and decide which to do next. =)

Does the new Tenacious come with a better detent?
Thank you brother, I appreciate it.
They are very useful to have when comparing... I can send you the printout template for them if you'd like to use those.
Nice... thank you for that info.
Yet another reason to love my RAT. =)

This was surprisingly entertaining.

@X4CTO swinging on G - 10's nuts XD that just made my day! : )
Haha! Yeah the Tenacious is definitely a great knife... I don't know if I could really choose between the two if I had to.
can you take off the thumbstuds on the rat1 and put a ziptie on it?
If you have as much as a drill press, you can do whatever you wish ;)
Yeah I do like the ramp on the Tenacious' blade... does make a great feeling knife. I had a hard time scoring these two because they are both excellent for the money.

Great review, but u missed one the Tenecious also comes in BLACK BLADE, perhaps when u did this review it did not,...
They BOTH have a black blade and come in a variety of colorways
That's cool man, I still got to read it in my inbox.
Nice comparison, I have a RAT 1 and love it, awesome knife but the G10 on the tenacious is the center of my interest in it. Was wondering to go with a second RAT1 or to go with a tenacious, will go for a tenacious for variety :P

would you recommend the kershaw d.w.o?
Jeremy Mezera
(5 years later) no
Thank you.
Wouldn't exchange my 5 year tenaciuos for 2 new rats.
Well I think the Rat 1 is a great choice indeed, I love mine. Very fast deployment. It's actually the one I judge many others by when talking about deployment speed.
I might have to do a dang ol' Boomhauer impression in one of my dang ol' videos man. LOL.
King of the Hill kicks ass... my wife and I used to watch that every night. =)
very cool hay let me know if u ever want to get rid of one your Rats
I own both ... and the RAT is the one that gets on my pants ! When you hold both ... the decision is realy easy to make !
Thank you, I appreciate it.
Well either one you get, you'll be getting a great blade. I have separate reviews on them as well if you want to hear some more rambling about them, lol.
HAHA, I've not heard that one yet... but someone told me I sound like that hillbilly dude from Left4Dead, LMAO! I love King of the Hill... not I'm going to have to do my Boomhauer impersonation on a video, LMAO!
You're an awesome youtuber man
Yeah I can't fault either for the price... they're both great.
Well thank you for taking the time to watch and comment, I really appreciate it.
I will have plenty more comparison videos like this in the future, on all types of things... some I already have completed as a matter of fact.
Thank you! =)
you draw good smiley faces haha
Been looking at reviews on the RAT all day, and this video is what sold me on it. I own the Tenacious plain edge, but I want to buy a combo edge knife. So the debate was Tenacious combo edge or RAT combo...RAT wins out. I also don't really want two of the same knife. I like having all different kinds of knives.
@X4CTO well it looks very nice
LOL!
Thank you for watching, I appreciate it.
Yeah the Rat would be great with G10 for sure.
Wow man... didn't know that... so it's like the poly on the Glocks huh?
Guess it should be pretty damn tough then nonetheless. Good to know.
I would stick to Tenacious since it doesnt have thumb studs that bump into the stuff you cut.
The handle material oh the RAT is Nylon 6. Sure, just some plastic.... polymer actually. The same polymer used to make the frames of Glock pistols. Swinging on G10's nuts? Not quite.
Also, the Rat comes in sooo many colors. I'm getting the 8866 soon. Pink handles black blade. Sexy knife.
I think he meant they were trying to make it feel like G10 instead of just using G10.
I bought the pink/satin one, waiting for it to arrive. My last knife purchase, I have to stop collecting :/
The tenacious is a better knife. No doubt about it
I realy digg the look of the Rat1.. But i just ordered the Ten, only cause i think that the Rat1 is more a Hike/Tactical blade, where as the Ten is more, to me, an good size EDC. Just my opinion, dont worry i have the Rat1 on my must get list (perfer its looks to the Ten by far) great vid thank you for sharing it, best wishes bro.
I think we know who would really win, the RAT 2. I mean, come on, the RAT 2 is like, one of the best EDC knives.
LOL! Sometimes I just say random things like this... never know what's going to come out of my mouth, haha!
Thank you for watching! =)
great comparison and to be honest for the price of these to you might as well get them both lol.
“I like a good hole”
“Ladies like a nice stud”
😂😂😂 was that intentional?
I don't know if you removed this comment intentionally bro... but I read it in my messages inbox.
Anyway... yeah the Rat is great... so is the Tenacious... very hard for me to choose on some of the scoring here.
Thank you for the compliment.
It all comes down to "philosophy of use" for me.
Rat 1 = Hunting, Fishing, Camping and comfortable heavy work knife.
Tenacious = EDC
Blunt Truth has a video where the comfort of the tenacious fails as it was hurting him though glove, this would never happen on the rat 1.
I also watched another guy field dress a deer with the rat 1 which was extremely impressive... but with that said I think the tenacious is cooler and more practical as an edc.
If I had to have only one, I'd go Rat 1.
@X4CTO hey i got a comment (that really should have been a PM) on this section that you missed, its a problem of sorts
I like them both, but tend to lean more toward a thumbhole usually. Yeah the Rat 1 is definitely a quick deploying knife the more you work with it... pornstars legs indeed, lol.
As would I... agreed.
There's no 30:00 on this video.
@X4CTO Dude that'd be awesome
tenacious comes in black, blue, green, and fde in satin or black blade with options of semi serrations or full smooth a total of 10 options... smh. also I own both and i feel for us fattybobattys the tenacious with a slimmer profiles makes pulling out (the knife :) easier. the rat seems to deploy faster for me but hands down the tenacious wins. the rat is great but I feel you get more edge and a "cool" factor with the tenacious. either one is a winner.
Absolutely it does, but the only color available back years ago when I made this video there was only the black Tenacious available.

HAHA! Thank you... I like drawing titties too! LMAO! =)
spyderco gets my vote!!!
I don't like the way the g-10 feels on the tenacious
Haha, I gotta have some boobies somewhere in my video ya know!
I love the Rat1, it's definitely a great looking blade. I don't think the Tenacious looks bad, but I do prefer the Endura look a lot more.
