A grip question

[ron finkbeiner jr]

First of all I love the Ratmandu cg, when I got it I thought it was the most excellent blade ever. The grip though was a bit short so off to my son it went! (I swear he gets all my toys!) lol my question is for all of you multi Swamprat knife owners. Which of the Swamprat knives offers a bigger (longer) grip? Thanks

The R6 may be what you are after. Like an RMD on steroids, not overly so but it is a markedly larger knife.

Question Ron, measure across your palm, how wide is it?

M6 may be something to look at? Its like an NOe in overall size. Larger grip as well.

RMD Proto, RMDLX and Rodent 6 have the same style handle, but a bit longer/bigger

Rodent 5 has different shape handle that is longer and bigger.

M6 and Mini Uncle Mojo have similar handle shape but longer and wider than RMD.

M9, M6, RMD, HRLM

On the R6 did you grind off the top finger guard?

No, you can contact Custom Shop and they'll remove the top guard, make a thumb rest like on RMD for you for a fee. You have to email them to check how much.
Mine also has drop point, there were two or three with full flat grind, obviously the colors and handle material can be changed... You need to get in touch with CS to find out what can be done

I will do that. Thanks
