Thanks. Just an FYI though, not all RAT models come with a black sheath.
Back to the pics. I really like the way the orange handle looks when it's wet. For some reason these knives just look like they are supposed to be dirty and wet.
Thanks again for sharing the pics, I've got to buy a new knife now.

Mine arrived today, sweet knife! A question for folks in the know, I got the Molle back for it, and was wondering about belt carry with it. I'm assuming the part that folds over at the top and secures with Velcro is supposed to be where you would slide a belt through. Since there's a solid piece of Velcro there, I don't see an easy way get it on a belt. You would have to feed the Molle strap behind the belt, squeeze the Velcro over the belt and hope it's secure, then feed the strap back through a couple of cross straps and snap it back down. Is this the correct process? There's not much Velcro holding on with a 1.75" belt, so it doesn't seem very secure. Any input? Is the Molle back not designed for belt carry , or is this the way it works?

Hi Mike,
You are correct on using the Velcro flap for belt carry. I use it on a 1 1/2" instructor's belt without any problems. The way I put it on is to un-snap the MOLLE strap and get a little slack (without un-threading the MOLLE strap) in the MOLLE strap, then pull the velcro apart on the flap. Feed the belt through then re-snap the MOLLE strap. That way you're not re-threading the strap behind your belt. Now, for a 1 3/4" belt it may not work as well but remember that you don't pull our knives out of their sheaths, you thumb them out, so it's not a problem with the sheath riding up as you try to remove the knife since your actually pushing down on the system to retrieve the knife. Also, make sure that your MOLLE strap is going under the closest cross strap to the bottom of the belt on the MOLLE back back.
