Which Rat did you order?

I would rate it high on my belt knife list, I found it did fine for shaving and whittling. I've batoned wood with it no prob, as long as its the rite width for the blade any knife will baton to make kindling. 3" and under will work with the #3.

YES, you can baton

My RC-4 has no problem with food prep, opening boxes, stripping wire or cleaning out under my finger nails. hell I have even shaved with it. It is a little cumbersome doing tedious work but handles and does the job. its hard not to love the damn thing. I really want the izula when it is released.

RAT3 Or RC3 for production Or better yet check out the fine Makers for sale forum. Can't beat the deals and the quality. I have many JK knives and also knives from Koyote and DPK

All you need is a Buck fixed blade. You're going camping. Go to the hardware store.

EDIT: Oops. You already bought something. Never mind.
