Refinishing the Ontario RAT 1 folding tactical knife in “Coyote Brown” color of DuraCoat. DuraCoat is an epoxy based, hard finish from Lauer Weaponry in Wisconsin (shown in other TNP vids as well). Featured in the TNP video “Stabbing Protocol” earlier, this particular RAT 1 folder (partially serrated version) has seen some rough use. But with the proper preparation (discussed, shown) and after the DuraCoat application (details shown), this little knife cleaned up nicely and looks factory new, except better. An improvement to the jimping on the knife was also made. DuraCoat would be a great way to give old knives or guns a new lease on life! Now that’s a tactical folder.
