So, If you had to get a combination of small, medium, and large knives, what would it be? I was thinking Scapavore, Sykco 411/Rodent 4, Rodent 6. Or maybe Rodent Solution, Ratmandu, and Sykco 711. Which combination would you choose?

Thanks
 
My small knife would be the Rodent 3 with flat grind. Medium = Ratmandu
For a large knife I hope the Ratweiler prototype I have on the way will handle my chopping needs.
I hope the Swamp releases a Khukrat or 9+ inch chopper in the near future.
 
Rat Daddy, Desert Jack, Vex (original)
Rat Mastiff, Dog Skinner, Swamp Warden
M9, RMD, HC
Rucki, Chopweiler, HRLM

Any combination of the above, and then there are R3, RS, Rat Hunter, Bog Dog, Rat Shaker, Rat Trail, new Vex, Ratweiler, Taz Rat, Taliwhacker to mix and match... And whole bunch of Hogs and Dogs... ;) :D
 
Kershaw Leek
Esee 4
Gerber Gator Jr. Machete (might seem like junk, but it has served me very well in south florida)
 
Of what I have on hand:

Rodent Solution
RatManDu
Rat Mastiff

or

Howler LM
M6
M9

or

Howler
Camp Tramp
Battle Rat
 
R5, R6, M6, Mini Uncle Mojo could also be added to the mid sized bunch...
 
Right here for me..plus a folder like my Military or another...



But, also like all guys..I love my Weiner too. Yeah, these + my Weiner...

 
Swamp Blades?...

2 will do for me...

Battle Rat (or Camp tramp...tough choice)


Ratmandu



If I didn't have such huge paws... I'd be using a Howler instead of the RMD. Unfortunately the small Res-C handles are just too short for me.

I carry a folder (or 4 at times) too, but they are not from the Swamp.
 
There are a lot good options given the diversity found in Busse Kin Knives. The ones that get the most use of out are the Scapivore, 511, and Dogfather LE. However the Rodent Solution, Ratmandu and Rodent 9 are also good choices and will give you years of service.

On Swamp Rat, consider to test seriously large blades before finding yourself in this situation in the middle of nowhere.

If I'm not mistaken Rat Daddy's were all deferentially heat treated, can't see the hamon line on yours. Would you mind posting a pic of the whole knife?
 
Ouch!

That is a sad thing to see...it's such a great knife. You contact Swamp Rat yet?
 
It's not mine. I'm following a discussion on an italian forum.

Swamp Rat has been already informed, they will swap the blade.

I'm interested in the differential heat treatment.
 
Guys:
I'm not an expert by any means, but isn't this blade missing the Swamprat Knives logo? Is that normal? All my custom shop knives are etched or engraved.
