I need a favor could someone post a comparison pic of the ratmandu and the BATAC. My initial feeling is they're pretty much the same and if you have one don't bother with the other. But pics might show something different. Need to make up my mind before my swamp rat cart gets emptied.

Thanks guys.

Thanks for forwarding Eric. I didn't measure or weigh but....My impression is that the Rat is thinner and lighter and would be a better slicer. The Badger has the feeling of being much bigger than it is but still has great edge geometry. Good luck on the choice, I love my Ratmandu!
 
I actually kind of like the Ratmandu better than the Badger. Its lines are more elegant and classy. It has a really pleasing feel in the hand. The badger feels a bit clunky to me by comparison. When I saw the Ratmandu at Blade I knew I had to have one! (now I do!)
 
I was one of the lucky ones at Blade. I scored a SH-1. I got a nice RatManDu, too. I think I like it even more than my Badger Attack. Here are my three great knives:

I bought a green one fri. & a muddy one sun. I think thay are a great size & they are 3/16" thick. I carried my dial calipers to the show just for checking blades.
