Anything like the RAT 4 from Busse?

Does/did Busse ever offer a model that was similar to the RAT Cuterly Co. RC-4 knife?

I'm curious 'cause I'd be interested in a stainless steel offering with a satin finish. I'm contemplating the purchase of a Swamp Rat Hairy Carry, but I can't seem to find the 4" version anywhere. As I understand it, the 3.5" version of the Hairy Carry is standard.

I'd appreciate any help with this.

Thanks!

While we await the SAR4 the closest knife is probably the SAR5. Just my thoughts though.

I agree, the closest would be the SAR 5.

The closest Busse kin knife to that is either the Swamp Rat Howling Rat (HRLM) or the Scrapyard YK, both have almost identical blade shapes and lengths but neither are availible at the store. Scrapyard just did a run of tan YKs and I am sure some of them will turn up on the exchange.

Or an ABA/ABALE. But to quote Miss Vito, "No one could EVER confuse an ABALE with a RC-foowah."

Ahhh, the lovely Miss Vito. Great, um, testimony on that gal.

Get the real RAT RC-4, which is excellent as it is and a great value. By the way: INFI is not stainless either, so just stick with the RAT and be a happy camper (but get a Busse anyway).
