It's a black-t bladeforums Sifu. LOVE IT! Who say it to big? Nommee! Of course I have big hands, and big feet. One of the best made REKAT knives i've seen. And ya know, it's really not as heavy as I thought it'd be. Rides well in the pocket too. My only bitch was that I had to Loctite the thumb studs as they were loose. Very well balanced knife! But what the HELL IS THAT RATTLE?? Only rattles closed.

Just checked my Sifu... no rattle here. I don't remember any rattle on my VG's, either, but I do remember somebody mentioning that his REKAT Carnivour rattled because he'd flipped it open too many times and the stop pin came loose. I'd imagine that Loc Tite should take care of the loose stop pin, if that's what it is.
And stop flipping the knife open.

AWESOME...How do you REKAT owners like the lock. What about compared to the BM axis?
I dont want to get a SIFU(well...i do) just that i would rather get an explorerII...or maybe i'll get both

Axis (I have 710) seems to generate lateral blade play once in two weeks (about 100 opening-closing cycles). Tightening pivot takes care of that but is annoying as action gets gritty. I know that loc tite could handle that but quality knife or knife that pretends to be a quality knife shouldn't need that.
Sifu doesn't rattle and is as smooth as axis(after 1000 cycles). There were two annoying things with Sifu too: it came dull out of tube (I can live with it) and bevel angles were too large for sharpmakers 20 degree angle --> 4hours of rebeveling
(edge bevels in axis were also too blunt for sharpmaker
)
