I want one of these as a user.. Cannot decide which to order or track down....

Which one should I get ?
 
Honestly I have had all three , handled all three, I would say it comes down to your hand . For me the sob and rmd feel the best
 
If you get a INFI Ratmandu you can almost buy a sheath for it for the same price as a SOB.... Too hard a question buy both and keep the one you like the most. (In other words you will keep them both) :thumbup:
 
I'll go with the RMD-INFI and I have large hands. Loved the BATAC since it came out from the beginning of time up until the RMD came out and I had wished that Busse would make the RMD in INFI. When they did I knew I had to have one or more but I still have a Regular Swamp RMD and a Custom RMD. Gave the regular SR-101 to my Sis-in-Law for camping. When my RMD-INFI show they are all MINE :D, one in Pumpkin and the other in Blk G-10.

PS: Thanks Jerry for listening about the RMD-INFI :thumbup: ;)

Me too, One in black G10 and the other in black canvas. The only other Swamp Rat I own is a M9 and I'm happy with that. I use it all the time
 
I had a BATAC, have an SOB, and an INFI Ratmandu on the way. The BATAC feels great in hand but it's a big knife for the blade length (especially with its large choil). If you want a sturdy, indestructible knife without a real long blade, BATAC is it.

The SOB is not as hefty but still pretty big. I ordered one, liked it, but am sending it back for spacers.

The Ratmandu is an extremely popular knife. In INFI, it's gotta be a (maybe the) winner. Can't go wrong and very easy to sell if you don't like it.
 
:thumbup: Got a red/black Infidu and comp finish SOB. Luvem both, wouldn't be able to choose between them. :)

My personal preference...sort of. :)
BATAC, but that's mainly because I haven't used the others enough yet. I like the wider BATAC blade. INFIdu might get the final nod because I like a choil big enough for using and its handle fits me better than a BATAC. I do like the SOB a lot, best handle for me out of the 3, but small choil. Hmmm, hey Bossman, can we get a hybrid up in here? :D:D A BASOBINFIdu? ;) lmao

Let's just say that...I'm glad I didn't have to make that decision! :o:)
 
Yup^^^^ I do wish that the choil, on the SOB, would be a bit bigger. The first joint on my index finger JUST fits.... I can choke up that far, but I don't know how long it would be comfy. Over all I do believe that it's gonna be a fav.

I've got the Blade show SOB. I know that the blade is thicker than the original, but I don't know by how much. Anyone knows?
 
Well I EDC 2 MOABS -- but when I'm not lugging those around to the super market -- the time tested BATAC or RMD should do just fine.

..... so this is a "mine is bigger than yours" conversation then.....

SOB is perfect
Rmd is a little to long for versatile use and less tanky than Sob, i didnt use Batac but it looks a little bit too fat
