There’s something about the general vibe of these videos that is so great. They’re also the perfect type of witty, dry humor without being tryhard or cringe 👌
Advanced Knife Bro lol. I'm sure he does, and I'm sure it's a beautiful thing... but I hit the like button for your videos, and not his. You're definitively the best reviewer on RUclips. I appreciate your work.
My opinion falls in line very closely to yours on this one. Slightly small for my tastes but nothing wrong with it and I can see why it's well regarded. If someone told me I could only use this knife for the rest of my life, I wouldn't be offended. I've now added 1 to the view total.
I love this knife, it’s a classic... I have one in my collection right now planning on adding another. It’s a Beautiful blade & now that I added a deep carry clip I really have a hard on for this blade!
Your creativity never ceases to amaze me. It doesn’t even matter if I’m interested in the knife you’re reviewing- I watch, regardless, and am never disappointed. The wit and dry humor seals the deal, and each new vid is more a clever arthouse short than a simple knife review. I dig it.
Brother, this review is a step above. You’ve got talent. Just got a RAT 2 in D2 steel in the mail today and I’m considering selling all my more expensive knives. It’s not assisted but it flies open as if it were. Perfect ergonomics.
Advanced Knife Bro do you subscribe to any pet theories? 911? JFK? Flat earth? NWO? Fluoride in de water? UFO's? Fake moon landing? Crop circles? Ancient aliens? Lizard people?
My wife wasn't really a fan of knives ... funny enough on Christmas years ago i bought he a little RAT2 for her purse ... more as a gag gift. When i picked it up and handled it i became instantly impressed. Best 25 dollar knife i've handled. The D2 version is a steal as well. Its great for the money... i don't find it to be in my top of my list but definitely something i would recommend as a very budget friendly, good little user knife especially in the D2 version. The action is pretty impressive at that price point.
The Rat Model 2 is now available in D2 as of today. Check out knifeworks' new arrivals page. According to a post on bladeforums they'll also be offering them at BladeHq and Knife Center. Same Knife, Same Handle colors, better steel. Kind of ironic that they would become available the day after you do a review on the AUS-8 version. Great review none-the-less.
I helped my friend pick this out as a gift for her brother for xmas, since I was a casual knife guy. Then I couldn't stop thinking about this knife, and finding the perfect edc knife. Id really like a benchmade griptilian or bugout but I think I might get one of these and see how it works out.
I have the RAT 1 and absolutely love it. $23 (AUS 8 version), feels big while cutting but small in the pocket. The AUS 8 gets wicked sharp very quickly, usually 30 seconds on a strop and good to go. Love the blade shape and the handle feels great. great vid, love a little humor in a knife review!
One of those in my pocket. One w/ D2 on my desk. A large w/ AUS-8 in my truck. If I ever buy another knife it will be another Rat as a replacement if I lose one..
Been watching knife vids all day and you're the best channel so far. I'll let you know if somebody beats you off, or you can let me know. Would you recommend this or the Rat 1 or Rat 1 D2 in the under $50 range or is there something else that you think is better? I realize that if I was working instead of watching videos, then I wouldn't be asking for under $50 knife recommendations. I also like larger knives in the 3.5" range.
Rat 1 is a little on the heavy side for my tastes but a lot of people love it. My taste in that size blade is a spyderco tenacious... check out my Budget knife recommendations video.
"Super steels have large quantities of Flouride in them." Well of course. How else can knives avoid getting cavities? You might be interested to know that this knife, which has a blade and a handle too small for your liking and a locking mechanism for which you have contempt, will be available this year in D2, providing you the steel upgrade you so desperately could not care less about, all for a modestly increased price. You're welcome.
I picked up one of these a few days ago. So….does AKB initiate into the secret society or bohemian knife club or whatever? Do I fill out an application with Rockefellers?
Needs more exposure of the full Pentavorate. Fun fact: this is the only knife you can purchase at the notions stand at The Meadows. And I hear Mike Myers carries one too.
Now this is what I'm taking about. Good cheap knives that won't cause me interest on my credit cards. I have this knife and it spends the most time in my pocket out of all my knives. It's my "illuminati" knife. Excellent video review. Keep churning them out.
People would get mad... because I'd say there's no difference. I mean there is, but sure as shit if I can tell with as many knives as I have. Cedric and Ada is a great channel for that. I still might make this video down the road though.
Doesn’t matter; we’ve all crossed the the Einstein Rosenbridge when the largest particle collider split our universe open and allowed other multiverses to open in ours
Now with D2!! The ultimate EDC for people who don't know what EDC means. Can't be beat in its price range but I must admit I've acquired a Cutback Mini also. Time will tell.
...and then AKB was never seen or heard from again. His wife claims he went to take the garbage out and never returned. Excellent creative writing and editing, btw Imo fyi. Your vids are always a treat.
Dig it. I have large hands ( I wear “large” size gloves) and this knife fits me great. Great value knife that’s easy to put a sharp edge on (you will get lots of practice sharpening the RAT II with its aus 8).
I think your part of it. Should have looked closer. They feel G10 ish??? I can’t wait for the comments to continue to roll in 2 months now. Fuck it, I’m out!
I've got a fixed-blade Lionsteel made of M390. My teeth have been having fewer cavities, but my precious bodily fluids are at an all-time low. But now it all makes sense: Lionsteel is an Italian company, AND THAT'S WHERE THE POPE LIVES!!!
I just got mine 20 min ago. Paint on the blade has a flake scratched off already and the plastic scale is cracked from over tightening. Looks like $40 worth of junk. Sad because I followed the hype and should have gotten a qsp or civivi instead. 😢
That's what THEY want. They plant antennas in D2 steel so THEY can listen in on your conversations. That's a scientific fact: there's no real evidence for it, but it's scientific fact.
18K views of this video at the time of this comment. Not sure, but I might have watched it 15K myself. To anyone new to the channel, watch advanced knife bro's Zima review. And what the heck, watch the Broken Skull review too.
How am I only finding your channel now. RUclips and its crap recommend shitty algorithm, found your channel through a video description.I love the rat, definitely one of the best knives under $40. Watch 4 of your videos so far and I'm digging it, subbed and looking forward to your content.
Yeah... I tend to see a lot of my videos recommended on the side bar of my videos. I dunno if that means something, but I don't think my videos are suggested enough on other videos... the style is kind of different, so many people who like my videos aren't the typical people. I dunno- I think about it a lot- but thanks for checking out the channel!
This seems like an appropriate place to mention that your videos don't seem to be showing up on my alerts anymore. I think you've been blacklisted, dude. On the other hand, hey, a whole bunch of videos to watch while I wait for my pain in the neck 3 year old to go to sleep.
Yeah oh well. It's an uphill battle on RUclips. Gotta book mark my channel on the browser I guess or just check back on Wednesday when I have 1 or 2 videos done. Fuck RUclips. It's a pain in the ass having to get them to manually review every video I upload now... for them to approve it "suitable for all advertisers" every damn time. I know all trying to get the kid down to sleep at night.
Man first up, insanely good review, WTF? Ontario and the illuminati. Now Ive seen everything. I dusted this knife off a few weeks back and Its quickly becoming my favourite work EDC once again. Why? Because this IS the modern Opinel no. 8. It has the same blade profile and FFG , amazing at food prep, the same 90 degree spine for ferro rod striking, its cheap, the Aus 8 gets easily shaving sharp and does away with the twist lock by incorporating quick one handed deployment and a pocket clip. I can even use this knife for wood whittling just like my opinel without the hotspots. Yeah its a little squishy behind that choil but who cares really, we’ve become too spoilt by Spydercos 50/50 choil. You can easily manipulate this knife in many hand positions well enough. I actually like this steel better than the D2 version because the D2 has been a total pain in the ass to sharpen on my Zancudo so Im happy to go back to the Rat 2 in good ole Aus 8 as Im too impatient and D2 takes forever. 10 licks on the white ceramic stones and zing. Ive changed my mind, this cheap knife is awesome. Dont let first impressions fool you, this Jeff Randall design gets a lot of things right and is a great option for the budget concious knife nerd.
It's a good snappy blade. I'd prefer the handle and blade to be a little longer, but not quite like the Rat I. However what I like and prefer is not what everyone else does.
There’s something about the general vibe of these videos that is so great. They’re also the perfect type of witty, dry humor without being tryhard or cringe 👌
Well... if Nick Shabazz has one...
I mean I’m pretty sure he does... I should have fact checked myself better
Advanced Knife Bro lol. I'm sure he does, and I'm sure it's a beautiful thing... but I hit the like button for your videos, and not his. You're definitively the best reviewer on RUclips. I appreciate your work.
Or does he? #conspiracy
Nick Shabazz Ha! ... was literally watching your 2107 video from last week when you replied. Nice to see you're addicted to these vids, too!
Eric Boss Absolutely. AKB is great. Love his videos.
My opinion falls in line very closely to yours on this one. Slightly small for my tastes but nothing wrong with it and I can see why it's well regarded. If someone told me I could only use this knife for the rest of my life, I wouldn't be offended. I've now added 1 to the view total.

Thanks man! I try to keep it different from review to review... keeps everyone wondering what I’m going to do next
Brother, this review is a step above. You’ve got talent.
Just got a RAT 2 in D2 steel in the mail today and I’m considering selling all my more expensive knives. It’s not assisted but it flies open as if it were. Perfect ergonomics.
Thanks man!
Your zip tie comment made me laugh mighty loud.
0:31 watch out Nutnfancy, shots fired!
Part conspiracy theory, part knife review. Comedy? Can't say I've experienced this before. Been watching a little too much infowars.
I-Theist #globalists #freeassange #hillaryforprison #rogerstone
Advanced Knife Bro maybe next time wear a tin foil hat when mentioning conspiracy theory.
I did in a video a long time ago... I think it was a flashlight review.
Advanced Knife Bro do you subscribe to any pet theories? 911? JFK? Flat earth? NWO? Fluoride in de water? UFO's? Fake moon landing? Crop circles? Ancient aliens? Lizard people?
This is the best kife chanel in RUclips.
Love the content and the honest reviews. 👌
“Thanks for watching sheeple.”
The humor. The humor. The humor!👍

Kind of ironic that they would become available the day after you do a review on the AUS-8 version.
Great review none-the-less.
Alright guys... get to buying it!
ironic? its no coincidence, THEY are watching....
I helped my friend pick this out as a gift for her brother for xmas, since I was a casual knife guy. Then I couldn't stop thinking about this knife, and finding the perfect edc knife. Id really like a benchmade griptilian or bugout but I think I might get one of these and see how it works out.

great vid, love a little humor in a knife review!
"Feels big while using but small in the pocket" it seems like there could be a joke in there somewhere
-thats what she said-
I love these vids... It's like "The Office" of knife reviews.
Glad you like them man!
One of those in my pocket.
One w/ D2 on my desk.
A large w/ AUS-8 in my truck.
If I ever buy another knife it will be another Rat as a replacement if I lose one..
Great humor as always. Love the Rat II but the Model 1 is hands down my favorite EDC
All day. Every day and twice on Sunday.
Really, really, really, enjoyed the sarcasm in this video....or did I?
Just to be that guy, FRN scales, not G10.
Looks like THEY didn’t cover it up well enough!
Been watching knife vids all day and you're the best channel so far. I'll let you know if somebody beats you off, or you can let me know. Would you recommend this or the Rat 1 or Rat 1 D2 in the under $50 range or is there something else that you think is better? I realize that if I was working instead of watching videos, then I wouldn't be asking for under $50 knife recommendations. I also like larger knives in the 3.5" range.
Or I can also just save up for another month and buy the Para 2
Rat 1 is a little on the heavy side for my tastes but a lot of people love it. My taste in that size blade is a spyderco tenacious... check out my Budget knife recommendations video.
I played this video backwards and heard the voice of satin or maybe it was Hillary.
Bet the voice of satin sounded silky smooth.
Andrew Thompson ohhhhh yeeeeaaah
NO U FOUND OUT! The deep state is coming!
zoo , I heard the same thing.
Wait.....it's Hillary. If you listen really hard, you can hear Bill singing in the background.
I think?
Ed Vanek He's playing the Sax
I so need THAT knife for some Spirit Cooking 🔪😉 .... Super Moon coming up ... My Alester Crowly poster fell off my wall
The super moon is a false flag
The fluoride is the reason why I have so many knives with 8cr13mov. Also if you add up the numbers, it equals 21. Blackjack!
"Super steels have large quantities of Flouride in them." Well of course. How else can knives avoid getting cavities?

You basically did the D2 version review for me in 2 sentences... saved me 8 hours!
LOL!
Just when I think you can’t get more ridiculous....lol! Keep ‘em coming!
I can always be good for a minute or two of dumb shit
The Ontario Rat II was the gateway drug for me into knife collecting.
I regularly open paint cans with my R2-D2 and it’s still flicks open smoothly after a couple years of daily use.
The sarcasm throughout is clever and good for a bunch of yucks. Great job.
I joined your channel just because of this review. 👍🏻
I prefer my Lionsteel Medici, uh, I mean SR2
I wouldn’t sleep next to that knife!
Endura for the win!
I knew this day would come. That's why I'm watching this from my bug out location on TOR with my foil beanie
The end is nigh!
I picked up one of these a few days ago. So….does AKB initiate into the secret society or bohemian knife club or whatever? Do I fill out an application with Rockefellers?
Dry humour is the best humour, I smiled a lot then realised I watched this in my smartphone so THEY know everything about me now.
They were recording you bro. Not to alarm you, but they saw EVERYTHING.
Needs more exposure of the full Pentavorate. Fun fact: this is the only knife you can purchase at the notions stand at The Meadows. And I hear Mike Myers carries one too.
"...now speaking of your pants" *zooms onto bishop *
Sir, you are a living meme!
He's always watching!
(ಠ ͜ʖಠ) *Hannibal Lecter slurp *
Nicely done always a laugh from your reviews
To small for my hands and difficult for me to deploy, so gave mine to my son and he promptly lost it.
He didn’t lose it... he wanted something else!
That's what sons are for... I bet he enjoyed it while it lasted though.
Boating accident?
I've considered "loosing" my ganzo so I can get a spyderco;)
you can call him Richard...
How did I only just now see this illuminaughty version blade~ keep smokin the abrikadoobie. More video's with this theme~ keepem coming?
We'll see!
i see this knife spraying our stores everyday!
Whoa whoa whoa, AUS8?! Bro, you need the D2 version to have any street cred around here man.
I mean, nice review, or something.
Auuuussss eeeeeiiiggghhttt.. Wa wa
Now this is what I'm taking about. Good cheap knives that won't cause me interest on my credit cards. I have this knife and it spends the most time in my pocket out of all my knives. It's my "illuminati" knife. Excellent video review. Keep churning them out.
Just churned out another! Thanks man!
Time traverlers favorite blade. I have proof.
I need to see a grainy photo with red circles drawn on it to be certain!
Something to note: BladeHQ now offers the RAT 2 in D2 steel @ just under $40. The Rockefellers and Kennedys have listened to our prayers!
Yes!!!!
OKC
Need to review the RAT 7
Noted!
Great video! Hey how about a video on all the confusing steel types for us plebs with cheap knives and no clue what difference they make?
People would get mad... because I'd say there's no difference. I mean there is, but sure as shit if I can tell with as many knives as I have. Cedric and Ada is a great channel for that. I still might make this video down the road though.
Lucky for you they also make the Rat model 1. Sounds like that's the size you're needing.
Doesn’t matter; we’ve all crossed the the Einstein Rosenbridge when the largest particle collider split our universe open and allowed other multiverses to open in ours
A universe where we have MINIMUM size restrictions on the knives we carry.
Liked and subscribe halfway thru first video. Hands down best knife review. Hilarious and informative. Absolutely love it.
The only thing worse than a Spyderco delica zip tie mod is the mall ninja convincing themselves they’re going to use it for self defense
Ain’t that the truth!
I too, prefer the Endura for EDC, but have the Emerson wave version... because I too, think zip ties are dumb.
Plus they rip up your pocket
Now with D2!! The ultimate EDC for people who don't know what EDC means. Can't be beat in its price range but I must admit I've acquired a Cutback Mini also. Time will tell.
...and then AKB was never seen or heard from again. His wife claims he went to take the garbage out and never returned. Excellent creative writing and editing, btw Imo fyi. Your vids are always a treat.
Sometimes I get inspiration with the videos... sometimes I don’t... thanks man!
The most woke knife review of 2018.
The most dangerous, now that the secret is out
"woke" lol ..
Dig it. I have large hands ( I wear “large” size gloves) and this knife fits me great. Great value knife that’s easy to put a sharp edge on (you will get lots of practice sharpening the RAT II with its aus 8).
Yeah it’s nice and thin behind the edge so it’s an easy sharpen
Awesome review!
Remote knife opening, love it.
It happens more than you think
I prefer the RAT1 with a D2 blade. This one is just too small I had one but gave it away.
Not to be that guy but I think the scales are GFN, or at least they are on mine. Or I'm just part of the conspiracy...
I think your part of it. Should have looked closer. They feel G10 ish??? I can’t wait for the comments to continue to roll in 2 months now. Fuck it, I’m out!
It was still a fantastic and entertaining review. Lets be real though, nothing will ever satisfy these fluoride indulging flat earthers
Just replaced my Rat 1 I had for two years with a new Rat 1, and the new 1 came with a stonewashed blade,is that something new.
Illuminating!
Like the neo noir style.
Thanks man, tried something different
Tellin' ya. Skyline. :) The choice of Grange chapters nationwide. Maybe.
Bro, this seems like a really good knife.
The spyderco manix 2 have kind of a axis/bering lock to
New and exciting!
New ratness
Advanced Knife Bro rats off ta ya
I've got a fixed-blade Lionsteel made of M390. My teeth have been having fewer cavities, but my precious bodily fluids are at an all-time low. But now it all makes sense: Lionsteel is an Italian company, AND THAT'S WHERE THE POPE LIVES!!!
Ohhh I need one
been watching your shit for years and just now noticed the pope tap. ha! nice
BEST VLOG I'VE SEEN FROM YOU SO FAR !! 💯🔥❗ Intelligent & Amazing ❗
Hilarious review, as always. Great little knife, too! Wish they'd offer it in D2, like bigger one.
NewCastleNinja they do. just saw it on blade HQ
I only saw it in D2 for the Rat 1
NewCastleNinja I was pretty sure I saw them on there an hour or so ago, but I don't see them now. they are supposed to be coming very soon, though
Cool, looking forward to that! -Thanks!
The D2 Rat 2 is new for this year. I think it's still at the pre-order stage.
I just got mine 20 min ago. Paint on the blade has a flake scratched off already and the plastic scale is cracked from over tightening. Looks like $40 worth of junk. Sad because I followed the hype and should have gotten a qsp or civivi instead. 😢
Advanced Conspiracy Bro
Changing the name!
Nice one sir, very creative and entertaining 👍
Great and hilarious review ... Thanks ...
Bro. I thought for sure, that we'd finally get to see some candle batoning!
Are you saving that, for the D2 version?
; - )
Spoiler alert: won’t be a D2 version review!
That's what THEY want. They plant antennas in D2 steel so THEY can listen in on your conversations. That's a scientific fact: there's no real evidence for it, but it's scientific fact.
this could be the best stuff review channel on the dark web.

Does anyone elses rat 2 blade stick out a litlle bit when closed or is it just me
Why didn’t you get the Rat 1? It’s more your size! Get the D2 version...
How am I only finding your channel now. RUclips and its crap recommend shitty algorithm, found your channel through a video description.I love the rat, definitely one of the best knives under $40. Watch 4 of your videos so far and I'm digging it, subbed and looking forward to your content.

Love the style of your humor! Keep it up!
Thanks man!
Man first up, insanely good review, WTF? Ontario and the illuminati. Now Ive seen everything. I dusted this knife off a few weeks back and Its quickly becoming my favourite work EDC once again. Why? Because this IS the modern Opinel no. 8. It has the same blade profile and FFG , amazing at food prep, the same 90 degree spine for ferro rod striking, its cheap, the Aus 8 gets easily shaving sharp and does away with the twist lock by incorporating quick one handed deployment and a pocket clip. I can even use this knife for wood whittling just like my opinel without the hotspots. Yeah its a little squishy behind that choil but who cares really, we’ve become too spoilt by Spydercos 50/50 choil. You can easily manipulate this knife in many hand positions well enough. I actually like this steel better than the D2 version because the D2 has been a total pain in the ass to sharpen on my Zancudo so Im happy to go back to the Rat 2 in good ole Aus 8 as Im too impatient and D2 takes forever. 10 licks on the white ceramic stones and zing. Ive changed my mind, this cheap knife is awesome. Dont let first impressions fool you, this Jeff Randall design gets a lot of things right and is a great option for the budget concious knife nerd.
It's a good snappy blade. I'd prefer the handle and blade to be a little longer, but not quite like the Rat I. However what I like and prefer is not what everyone else does.
Absolutely great as always...
I love your videos because they’re funny and I don’t feel like spending money after watching
Also I watched this video while driving 78 miles an hour down interstate 10
My man!
It’s to the viewer to decide. I ain’t gonna do it for you!
Simply the greatest knife review intro I have ever witnessed you sir are fucking hilarious good review man keep them coming 🙌
Ill make sure to disappoint with my next one then!
Love your videos, Bro!
Thanks man!
Love your reviews, you're hilarious !
Remote RFID opening knives? Hello, the 80s called. They're remote opening knives by a mix of Bluetooth 2.67 and 3G technology nowadays WAKE UP!
You could have one of the first D2 blade Rat II reviews. They are being sold at knifeworks.com
I'll let someone else get to it first!
Advanced Knife Bro Nice work on the channel you introduced the Kershaw Fraxion to me which I continue to EDC.
Thats a great small light duty knife. One of my coworkers bought one too, after I told him about it. Great to hear it's working out!
Check out the Byrd Cara Cara 2, it's basically a budget endura.
I plan on reviewing that one soon. There’s a picture on my Instagram detailing it
Advanced Knife Bro I look forward to the review.👍
Tenacious or rat 2 whats better?
I like the tenacious better. Bigger and feels more secure in the hand
Had a tough time hitting that like button at an even 666. Good stuff man
Fuck, what are the odds...
So what exactly do you mean by super steel? Like 1095?
Ouch at the end!!!
