The Nuked spine is sharpened.Any word on that nuked spine? Sharpened or not?
Looks not in spine shot, but in coated shot looks sharp.
If you could give some details it would be appreciated. Thanks
Hmmm sharpened or unsharpened...I want the weight reduction and the band breaker looks cool, but do I need it to be slicey?The Nuked spine is sharpened.
It can be left unsharpened if you prefer.

I think if you want to baton or use as a camp knife. You go non nuked. If you go nuked you are going the badass fighter route. For pure cool factor it should be sharpened.Hmmm sharpened or unsharpened...I want the weight reduction and the band breaker looks cool, but do I need it to be slicey?
Hmmm does the RMD come with sheath?....The nuked has the balance point at the ricasso. Good for a fighter style blade. I’m assuming the non nuked will be a little more blade heavy and choppy. It is really two different knives being offered. Tough choice. I might need both.
Anyone interested in a Ratmandu for $1400?
For sure. This isn’t a I need this for a certain task knife. It is a I NEED this knife kind of knife.Hmmm does the RMD come with sheath?....

Well I know most people laugh and ask "how many knife fights do you get in" ...none..., but I ask " how much wood do you have to process?". I just picked up a DT-12 (thanks Brummie!) And that is in the truck along with an ax, sooooo.... I think it will be the well balanced fighter.
And stay away from my processed wood!!![]()
Same order!Nuked, Stonewashed and Black Canvas! That combo blends nicely IMO!
Yes, I concur. Definitely black G-10, it would be more easily confused with black paper micarta being so black, & there is an example of black canvas micarta looking more like the usual grey color underneath that pic.I know there was some discussion about the picture of the Stonewashed Finish with Nuclear Option being black canvas. That looks more like black G-10 to me, does anyone concur? I don’t have any black canvas handles that are that dark, but it would be nice. I ordered the black canvas but kinda wish I got the G-10 because it looks great.
