Got my first Rat and did my first transaction on this forum with named above-he had exactly what he promised to me asap after he got the funds. Great deal and great knife-I know what all the hoopla is about now-I like this baby so much that (and I am in my mid40's an respectable middle-aged man, I guess) I had to hold the blade watching tv late night friday and saturday-the "kill bill" movies happened to be on, but I refrained from any samurai moves. By the way, while trying out the blade on an innocent sapling, I found that the flat micarta was just perfect for my hands-I had been dreading them after reading some threads but all is well. All in all, one of the very best buys I have ever made on anything-now I am thinking about moving my Public Defender for a Baby Coot when they come out-my rationalization is that the Baby Coot is within the parameters for a legal fixed blade in my jurisdiction, while the Busse cutis it too close, pardon the pun.cwd
