Did someone piss in your lunch?
And maybe I could be the first Brazilian RAT.
Your Brazilian ? Im Portuguese ! I have family in Rio, my aunt, uncle and cousin with her family live there. My uncle has a taxi service there. Where are you from in Brazil?
No, but we can get into the golden shower thing later on. I knew I'd get crap for saying something about what Im reading, but did you read this stuff !? Its a sunburst explosion of ideas that cant be done, I mean he says time and again that we have to keep within boundaries. What happened to simple knife to commemorate the Rat pack. What I pictured this knife to be was an RC3 with "RAT PACK" knife on it like the SWAT version or the 2007 Amazon Jungle version RC3 but with our # and something whatever else. Alright throw tomatoes....
My name is Daniel Alves. Rio has a lot of poor people in that area, a lot of homeless kids. My aunt and uncle tell me those homeless kids that run around would cut a tourist's finger off if they had a gold ring on it. I remember the beaches how nice the beaches were and the beautiful women in little bikinis... Meu Deus, a minha filha, chega ca', toma um beijo!!
Hey, my suggestion was totally possible using options that RAT has available...
Just maybe a little ugly. High vis though.
My vote goes to the 440C Izula. High polish or satin finish would really be unique, if possible, and just 2009 RAT Pack #---. I usually prefer carbon steel blades but I know the guys would do the stainless right and I'd love to be a guinea pig.
Ok guys, after drudging through this thread here's my thoughts.
I would like to see an Izula or RC-3.
For an RC-3, I was thinking:
No serrations (not everyone likes them but anyone can use a plain edge).
Modified pommel (just my personal prefrence).
Stock sheath, just to keep the cost down. Perhaps a different color. Like the brown of the RC-6 or black.
Jeff, shoot me down if I'm wrong, but couldn't we do a non stock color combo, like black blade/orange handles or green blade/canvas handles? Make them unique.
The Izula would just be a standard color but everyone loves an Izula.
As for artwork, I like the ESEE logo with RAT PACK above it and RP number below.
Congrats on your 4k post :thumbup:.
