I’ve been shopping Academy for years but I’ve never seen these there before. Anyone have them in your local stores? Pretty good prices too. $69 for the 3.

    Good find. One of the cabelas I service sells the 3 for 60 and a bolt knife for 50. I've often thought about picking one up for a beater knife because I get a 25% vendor discount on top of it bit always talk myself out of it because I'm not an Ontario fan

    We have them at our Local Wal-Mart, along with the lower end Spydercos.

    I am one of those guys that does like Ontario, they make a solid product, but I hate their sheaths. If I were to find a Rat 3 for $60, I’d be on it all day long, with or without the sheath. One could probably find a decent leather sheath for it at a flea market for $3. It’s definitely something that would be great to have in your truck.
