I posted a bunch of pics on the Busse forum and the home forum, they are pic heavy so if you have a slow connection they may not load.

There were muddy Chopweilers there!

Here's a quick shot of the 2 chopweilers i picked up:

You don't need the muddy one, do you?

Those Chopwielers look tasty. I am also going to pick up several of the new Skelly's.
It only takes one knife to make people converts to the Busse family and I think those bargain skellys are going to be the best gateway drug ever. 59$ ,even if it is a Knob Creek special it will still be a great deal. I think Sr101 makes a much better EDC steel than S7 or really anything but INFI.

Nice pix Eric , here's my small score fro the Creek

I can't wait for the Chopweillers and the skeleton thing to show up at the company store.

 

[Dom.]

the Rat Warden is one of my new favorites and at a awesome price too.

ME TOO!! Especially the Rat Trap, Chopweiler, and the Rat Warden (did anyone ever decide if Rat Warden is the real name for this?). Two or three of each please!

I hope the Ganzaa isnn't for a couple more weeks!

How about some thoughts on the Rat Trap? I'd be interested in an honest assessment of the Rat Trap from owners of this folder...

Can someone give us the specs on the Chopweiler & Rat Warden? Blade & handle length? Thickness?

Thanks,

GregB

 

[silverbullets]

It is going to be a feeding frenzy when they release them

No problem ,the Rat Warden is a sweet little blade.

I've owned everything from big folders (Spyderco Manix, BM Ruckus, ZT0301) to medium (Kershaw Lahar/Cyclone, BM Ares) to smaller (Spyderco Calypso Jr., BM Switchback, S30V Leek.)

So far, the SRKW RT is the most comfortable ~4" folder that I've ever carried. It has a very slim profile. The blade is an amazing slicer. The grip well thought out and comfortable. Everything about the blade indicates business-like quality. Never confirmed but they sure look like a BladeTech product. If you can't find a RT, but would like something similar, consider a BT.

What is it not? A big, thick titanium bruiser of a folder that qualifies as almost a fixed blade. (ie. the three big blade examples I cited.)

If you want something with a low profile carry, ultra slim comfort, and an amazing slicer - then look for a RT.

Enjoy! I hope this helps.
