interesting review on the rc-3

Mr. Randall make it a fully serrated blade so it is more like a chainsaw for the OUT-OF-DOORS!:eek:

I think he did a fair "review" of the RC knives.

Rowen and RAT are working on a small gas powered chainsaw the same size as the RC-3 that will fit in the RC-3 sheath. We plan on making it electric start with a 12,000 pound winch attached to the sheath in case you need to winch your firewood out of the woods after you cut it down.

In orange?:p
 
Yep, I like Husky chainsaws and their color. I one 3 of them now!
 
Man, I can't believe I endured that entire review. That guy is a semi-literate tool.

He didn't do his homework at all unsurprisingly, or he'd have known what the handle liners and the pointed pommel glass breaker were all about.

His criticism of velcro in the snow on triple secured sheath system was somewhat comical. About the last place one is in a hurry is in snowy environments. The fuzz side gets snow rubbed out of it in seconds and the grip side gets snow easily flicked out of it by striking the backside forcefully with even a gloved fingertip. Even then, to get the velcro "snow packed" somehow takes some diligent negligence. If it is closed around the handle, it doesn't take snow. If the knife is out, take one second if time permits, and close the velcro on itself.

If it wears out, I thought RAT had a warranty.:D If it doesn't cover wear on the sheath, the MOLLE backer is not essential to the continued enjoyment of the knife and its sheath and easily replaced.

I don't like snaps on the handle retention part of the sheath. If they break you are reduced to punching out the snap parts and employing some paracord or using the lanyard. Snaps clog with snow. Snaps can freeze tight just like velcro can. Snaps require accuracy in refastening and some accuracy in grabbing a little tab to open.

I'm not saying the RC-3 is perfect. I have never, and likely will never own the small RAT due to personal distaste for small fixed blades, but the critic in that video wouldn't have been at all pressed for time if he were coherent.

An S30V RAT? I thought we wanted tough field knives around here, not something made from steel for folding knives.;)

Nice commentary, but a review should include some actual use to me.

He usually gets around to it sooner or later.

He points out a couple of things he'd like to see changed but then again, did he design the system? Of course not, so he will have criticism. No ones ever going to be totally pleased. I think it was fair and remember, he likes the thing.
 
MOdular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment is pronounced "Molly," in part because it replaced the All-Purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment system or "ALICE."

I thought the RC-LS (Rat Cutlery Light Saber) Was due out first! Variable 3"-36" projected blade w/ integral 15 gigawatt flux capacitor included in the RC-TTLS option. (Rat Cutlery Light Saber Time Traveller)

On a serious note, I have both knives (rat-3 and rc-3), and IMHO the rc-3 is a much better put together knife. The longer handle makes it just that much sweeter.

That's a little harsh Boats. I often watch nutnfancy's reviews and he usually does a good job with both table and field reviews. I have to give props to anyone who is active in making youtube reviews, they give the rest of us something to do when we're bored!
 
I aggree with BoxANT. I figure I get to watch a video about knives for 20 minutes for free. If nothing else it gives me a good look at them and I get to hear someone elses views. It's up to me to take them or leave them. Thanks for postin munckmb!

That makes a lot more sense...

I googled it a while back and I could have swore that it said that it was pronounced "Mole". Damned internet...

Thanks!

P.S. It's not clear by the videos whether nutnfancy likes the model on the RAT website or not.

Well, I'm not clear as to whether I like her or not, so I was hoping someone would give me her email addy so I can contact her and see if she grows on me.
