Like I said on the RAT subforum,

The more I see the more I like about RAT knives. :thumbup:
 
And if you batton the log into a square first, you can increase size even more!

I ought to find money to get one of those......
 
Nice! I just signed up for a RC6 passaround. Might be a spot or two left. I've yet to check any RAT out, so I'm looking forward to it.
 
Yeah !!!! I new that tip could take it! Nice Pics Pit.

Of course, even when you are just plain old mean and nasty to those carbon steels, they still perform well.

For your benefit Pit, here is a .125" knife (thin in comparison to the RC-4) bullying its way through a knot!

That's some good work there...did you find it hard to knock it through using just the tip of the knife as a target?
