It's been a while since I posted but was asked for an updated DU pic so thought I would share.
I still love these things and can't seen to ever have enough of them.
Here is some INFI basking in the sun.

 
Of all the possible knives that could possibly end up in the grab bags, the one I'm really hoping for is some sort of Ratmandu. Never held one but they look to be about perfect for a camp knife.
 
Very nice! Only reason I don't regret selling mine is the fact that I told myself the next Du I'll own will be an INFI -Du. One of the best blades IMO. Great Pics man. Out of that pic...I'd say my favorite is the DCBB SwatManDu with the tan canvas in the middle, or the black canvas Infi-Du, or the DCBB one at the top, or the......who am I kidding....I love em all.
 
Ratmandu is a fantastic knife - very useful and the perfect size for general utility.
I got mine incredibly sharp with 800 grit sandpaper the last week of march and took it out to break down some branches I had pruned off the tree in the front yard.

Got stupid and cut towards myself...

Two tendon and one nerve reconstruction surgeries in my left thumb later, and the knife is as sharp as it ever was!

But seriously, sr-101 is a heck of a steel and the ratmandu is a great knife.

Two thumbs up!

I've never had a Ratmandu, but my Infidu's have been great!




Ccc, sorry to hear about your thumb. I'm glad you are on the mend though.
 
Do I do the Du?




(I need to update those pictures, there are at least two not shown there (not counting MMDs and JMDs)

Dude. Wow. Just..... Heal up right and quick!
 


I've grown to really love this blade. It's taken the best edge of any knife I've sharpened thus far, and is a beast for small fieldcraft.
 
I do love the Du.... especially the 1 of 13 with a bit longer blade. Sweet...

Have any of you with multiple samples noticed that the SWATmandu has a thinner grind behind the edge?
 

RMD is what brought me into the Bussekin fold.
Got two, one for lookin ^, one for beatin'.
