Im not that familiar with RAT Cutlery, I just registered after I purchased a RAT RC5 sight unseen on the recommendation of web-friends on another forum. I'm very pleased with my knife and joined here to learn about the knife and hopefully some particulars, best angle to sharpen, that sort of thing. Instead I find this thread.
I would like to say this...
You never have to question the integrity of the knife when the integrity of the man that made it is impeccable.
This is the most awesome blade I have ever owned. If I had designed my own survival knife it would be almost identical, only almost because you thought of things I wouldn't.
Thank you to everyone at RAT Cutlery.
