Hi everyone. I just started getting into knives a couple of months ago and just wanted to let everyone know that I just purchased my first chopper. I am anxiously waiting for a Swamp Rat Rodent 9. I can not wait to get it out and use the thing. I was able to hold one at a show a few weeks ago, but did not get it.

How many of you use this knife for your chopper and how does it do?
 
I got mine through the Alaska ganzza. I love the feel of the knife but have not used it yet. so I also would like to hear how the heavy users like the rodent9.

I put that baby to work extensively after a massive storm here in PA. She did EXTREMELY well and was very, very comfortable to chop with. Plus, SR-101 stays sharp for a looong time, saving you hassles with sharpening. You will love it bro :thumbup:

EDIT: You can see my half assed review and less than stellar pictures in the Swamp Rat forum :p
 
The Rodent 9 is looking to become one of the classics of the line eventually. The radical handle design is taking some getting used to, but the narrower blade and that new convex grind set it apart from its kin.

I'm looking forward to the 7 more than anything, its been a while since we've seen a mid size knife like that from the Swamp.
