Also, the Cryo 2 will squeak and rattle around if the grease ever washes out. The spring is loose, especially closed, so you can actually rattle it around if there is no grease in there. I actually had to order white grease after I made the mistake of "cleaning" the knife, and inadvertently washed out all the grease. So keep that in mind also, there is no spring on the Rat 1, also no grease and no chance of any "mechanism" breaking. **Q: dose the knife have a pocket clip** A: Yes, the knife does have a pocket clip; a good sturdy one in my opinion. **Q: Is this made of stainless steel? can it be used as legal pocket carry and as self defense knife?** A: The blade steel is AUS-8, Japanese stainless steel. Whether or not it's legal to carry depends on your locality. This knife would not be the best for self defense, but it would also not be the worst. **Q: does this model have satin, not black plain blade?** A: Simon - The blade is lightly brushed AUS 8 steel. The Rat I purchased is the Model 1. If you go to YouTube, click on Prepared Mind 101's link. He gives a very good review of this particular knife. I think that it is a great value for the price. It is well constructed, has an adjustable spring clip and comes out of the box razor sharp. For the price, I bought 3. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ontario Knife Company 8848 Rat I Folding Knife - EDC Knife (Black) - Ontario Knife Company Rat II, Satin AUS-8 Stainless Steel Drop-Point Blade Folding Pocket Knife, Black Nylon Handle Liner Lock Knife, Everyday Carry Knife – ON8860 - Ontario Knife Company Rat I Folding Pocket Knife, Satin AUS-8 Stainless Steel Drop Point Blade, Foliage Green Nylon Handle Liner Lock Knife, Everyday Carry Knife – ON8848FG --- ## 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.jp/products/1943734-ontario-knife-company-8848-rat-i-folding-knife-edc-knife](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/1943734-ontario-knife-company-8848-rat-i-folding-knife-edc-knife) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-15*
