Help with info on these two knives

Hello all!

I was fortunate enough to score these gems from the exchange earlier, and want to be better educated.

First blade: I'm told, and it does look like, it is a prototype of the Swamp Rat RMD, which I'm in love with. What I'm not sure on is the color of the coating and the handle material. My guess is Tanker Grey (which I've never seen myself, in the flesh), and black G-10. But I've also never seen Black paper micarta either, and won't know how to tell the difference. Can someone help please?

Here are some pics:




Second blade: My research tells me this is a Rodent Trail with Orange and Green G-10. How is this different from a Rodent Solution with Trailing point?



Thanks a lot!

 

Thanks for both replies, guys!

Thanks for confirming the rodent trail... So it's just a little bigger/longer than the rodent solution awesome!

The RMD Prototype is definitely not midnight blue (since I do have those)... But I agree that it's got a blueish tint to the grey (compared to a very neutral grey of my hammered silver blades). My midnight blue blades are very krinkly, a much darker and richer blue, and has a deep metallic property to them... This one is much more grey, and is a flat color. I don't know many of the colors that came before... So I don't know how to ID that coating color

 

That's what I'm not sure about because I've never seen tanker grey myself, and don't know if there are other grey colored coatings out there from Busse's past.

Also, what distinguishes black paper micarta from black g-10? I have no idea, just looking to be educated.

 

Thanks, @duramax and @Garth Reckner !

 

Thanks for the heads up! Yeah this one is about 3/4" to 1" longer than the rest of my RMDs

 

So, functionality, what's the difference between paper micarta and g-10?

I know canvas micarta gets grippier because of the exposed fibers, while G-10 seems harder, slicker, and is impervious to most chemicals.

What's paper micarta like?
