Got my Ratmandu

Congrats Ivan, got mine too. Nice knife and for $153 shipped, that ain't bad. Makes my BATACs seem a little pricy at more than double that for a similar size knife, but I'm not complaining, love the BATACs too.
 
I just opened mine. Great knife! I look forward to using it...thanks Eric!
 
Yeh Boy got mine!!! Pic by itself, and then a pic of the Tan Clan!!!

Mine seems to be sitting in limbo at the post office. I can see it got there, but no delivery yet. Hopefully today they find their way to my house.
 
I got mine in today. Wow this is a nice blade! Feels really good in the hand.
 
The RatManDu is probably the most 'normal' looking blade out of the Busse clan shops. Even at that it takes 'normal' and tops it off with excellent quality materials and a semi-tactical appearance. The blade length of 5-1/8" is right in the not too big, not too small range. 4-3/4" cutting length for close work and 10-1/4" overall is long enough for field chopping duties short of felling trees and splitting larger logs. 3/16" (0.1875") is about as skinny as any Busse clan blade gets but if a 5/32" (0.1563") version ever came out I would nab one up in a heartbeat. It's just hard to improve on since it started out as such a well rounded knife model. I like mine in leather.
 
I have had one for 3 or 4 months. I REALLY like the handle. It feels good in my hand. Nothing jabbing me and I can hold it several different ways. It's made for people with normal size hands. Except for some of the smaller size Busses, they all seem to be made to fit King Kong. :D
