Sorry if this is a repost, I looked and didn't see anything.
The Jan/Feb issue No1 Vol 7 of Tactical Response has a 6 page story on RAT's 3,4 and 6. Very nicely done. They really liked the knife. The audience to this mag are typically SWAT teams.
They have 7 paragraphs speaking to 1095 steel and weigh the pros and cons - overall positive. Mainly just educating people on proper care.
3 paragraphs are dedicated to just the sheath systems. "The sheath is an afterthought to many fixed blade makers. Not so for RAT Cutlery where the design, function and fit of the sheath is a big deal." Then after explaining the dozens of ways that you can mount the sheath they conclude, "RAT has put a lot of thought into this sheath system."
In ref to RC-6, "We pried doors and window jambs, cut coaxial cable, sliced carpet and cut cardboard... You are not going to break this knife"
2 paragraphs on how affordable they are and then 3 paragraphs on when they would deploy with the various sizes... RC3 for off-duty, RC4 for patrol (if the dept allows fixed blades) and RC6 for SWAT role outs.
On a personal note I am about to order my first RAT - wanted one before this article. One of the things that really excited me was the sheath system. I get frustrated when most knife makers don't even show a picture of the sheath let alone detail the 100s of ways to just use the sheath. Great job RAT!
