Formerly Rat Cutlery
RAT Cutlery has recently changed their name to ESEE
Knives. The name, pronounced "S-Cee," is an
acronym for Escuela de Supervivencia, Escape and
Evasion and accurately refelects the company’s
commitment to producing knives designed for
survival and military/law enforcement use.
Since 1997, Jeff Randall and Mike Perrin of
Randall's Adventure & Training (RAT) have designed
field-tested, no-nonsense, affordable field knives
specifically targeted to military, law enforcement, and
serious outdoorsmen. Since their beginnings, RAT
designed knives (ESEE Knives) have become
extremely popular and well recognized around the
world. Many ESEE (RAT) knives now serve in the
combat zones of Iraq, Afghanistan and other remote
locales. They are also the "knife of choice" for many
local, state and federal law enforcement officers.
After a successful 5-year exclusivity with Ontario
Knife Co., in 2007 Randall's Adventure & Training
decided to produce a high quality line of knives
outside of Ontario Knife Co. This decision was also
spurred along by customers wanting upgrades to the
existing line. The new ESEE Knives (formerly Rat
Cutlery) line is considered "mid-tech" in the sense of
quality and manufacturing procedures. This means
you will notice upgrades to sheathing, fit, finish and
detail on ESEE Knives. The ESEE knife designs will fit
the bill of desirable field cutlery when it comes to
toughness, comfort, and cutting efficiency.
