Just wanted to thank RAT for the great knives. Finally got a real RAT, and just love it. RC-3 Desert Tan. Got it, thinned the edge a little (220 Water Stone) then polished it up to mirror (1000 Water Stone, 4000 Water Stone, strop) and it's perfect. The steel takes to the polish so well, and then keeps that edge for a good while. I'll be hiking soon and snap a few pics in its natural environment.
