First Question

[Elwin]

I cant really tell from the pictures I've seen. What makes the penetrator tip a penetrator tip. How is it shaped differently?

 

[Bobby B]

As I understand it (being a SOG guy and all... ) it is essentially a small (1/2" or so) sharpened spine at the tip. Thus you have a "pointier" tip, allowing better penetration.
There is a picture of the tip in this thread on the Bandicoot.
Hope this helps.

I'll try to get another pic and post it tomorrow. Basically it just makes the point sharper and a little more pointy.

Here's another pic(thanks EdwardB) I'll try to get another up soon.

Ouch! Pointy tip!

If you haven't had a chance to check out the PT in person check out Firehorse's pics of the Bandicoot, here http://www.swampratknifeworks.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=10;t=000341

He takes great pics and the PT jumps out at you on one.

 

[Elwin]

Thanks, that clears up the ?'s. Do all the models have it, or just the smaller ones?

The only Rat's that have the PT are the Bandicoot, Camp Tramp and Battle Rat
