Bought a user Rat 1 from the exchange from all the good feedback they are given for the price. I will say its a nice knife even though mine is a used one. Little bigger than I prefer so i dont think I'll ever pocket carry it unless its out into the woods or something. Going to take it to work tomorrow and see how it is just at work for the mild tasks I need a knife for. Are the blade finishes normally this shiny and smooth? I think I may end up passing this along to someone on the forum thats a newbie and wants a better knife to try as time goes on and buy a fresh Rat
