Just bought an Esee.. or Rat.. not sure

[hkpistole]

i just bought an Esee 4 from TKC, with g10, i recieved a Rat Cutlery RC-4 marked blade, i know its the same company, and made by Rowen, but what gives, is Esee the newer stock?.. i kinda wanted an esee you know..

ESEE4 and RC4 are the same thing, just marked differently.

But you are right, after RAT left Ontario, Rowen made RAT knives, then they changed the name to Esee, still produced by Rowen. I would imagine if you called Dale at knife connection, he would swap you for what you want......

Yup. Same knife, just different markings. No worries.

Some folks even want the RAT labeled knives, to each their own. I also have a RAT RC4 with Dale's G-10 in black. It's all good, use it, the black coating will wear off, and you'll never know that there's no difference.
