Well - I've got them all, to date! I don't have the steel variations, I don't have the LE's (other than the Rail Splitter), and I don't have the Livesay RTAK (if anyone sees one for sale - please let me know!), but other than variations, this it ALL of them!

RTAK, RTAK II, RAT7, RAT5, TAK, Model 1, RC3, RAT3, and RAT Rail Splitter.

I use them all, and love the fact that even though I'm a broke family man / college student, I can afford to collect and use these high end hard working knives. Much thanks to Jeff and Mike.

Thanks CO - took me about a year to get it all pieced together, but now I'm (fairly) complete and ready for Jeff and Mike to bring on the RC4 and RC6!! (Although I'm hoping to add a Livesay RTAK to the mix whenever I come across one...)
 
Thanks TL. The RC3 is a beautiful little fixed blade knife - I'm sure that the RC4 is going to be another winner, and I can't wait to get one! The sheathing system is great as well.
 
...not quite. ;) John Greco's entry into the RAT line. This is going way back, prior to the Ontario days. One of my favorite hunting knives of all time.

Forgive picture quality, it's late and I didn't have the energy to do it right. :D

Good Lord! How have I never seen that before??

Thanks for the knowledge. Is there a model name, so that I can be on the lookout for one (fat chance, right!).

Am I missing anything else?

Beautiful knife! Thanks for the knowledge. :D
 
I honestly don't know if it had a name--next time I talk to John I'll ask him. I think there were very few made--I saw a magazine mention of the (then unknown to me) Randall's Adventure and Training outfit and stumbled onto the knife as I was perusing the website. I think it was one of those things where an initial run was done and then never followed up on. I've never seen another than my own, but I'm sure the other thirty or whatever still exist somewhere. Believe me, I've been watching. ;)

I am like Diceman...I want one of those....that is a great blade ...! + I still need a RAT-5 ,not need..want a RAT5 LOL ! that rail splitter is freaking huge..:D
 
Nice collection!

I'm just starting. I am waiting on a RAT-3.

I have a RAT-7 and my RAT-5 finally came in.

I am looking at the RC-3 as a birthday present and the RC-4 and RC-6 are in my sights.

Nice pics.
 
CMDR - thanks! I really like the RATs - I'm going to try hard to find that hunting knife above, and a Livesay RTAK. The RAT5 is one of my favorites - and you're going to love your RAT3! (its my most used RAT by far)
 
Really sweet collection there bro. i am going start picking up more of there guys. I need some thinner blades in my collection.
 
You can't go through life without some RATs there Mac - I have more RATs by double than any other maker - and not without good reason. THEY ROCK!
