Wow, I feel like I totally wasted my time making a response. Thanks for making things clear Cray.Here's the problem, with the OPs over 100 already active recommendation threads, most if not all that will be recommended here has been recommended before most of which to be dismissed for one reason or another. Very difficult to keep track of what he does or doesn't like. Lots of repeat information.
OP, if you like the RAT why not get it in D2 instead of AUS8?

I can't provide a link because they're not a paid vendor, but over at MassDrop they currently are offering the Ferrum Forge Falcon for $124.99 with free shipping. It's hands down the most knife for the money of any of the ones you've owned or others have suggested in this thread. Awesome design from the guys at FF, manufactured by WE knives with impeccable quality. Ti framelock with S35VN steel, bearing flipper with ceramic detent ball, sculpted pocket clip, steel lock bar insert...you can't go wrong!
Only downside is you'll have to wait for them to produce the knives with delivery projected for November...
I just ordered this as well. I have never had a WE knife, but I have a few Ferrum Forge knives, and they are designed to be great EDC knives! For 125, this is a great deal!
Well, just like a lot of things on the forum, while your excellent response may not help the OP (I honestly don't know what will at this point), you brought to our attention a fantastic looking knife at a very reasonable price. You likely at least helped somebody!Wow, I feel like I totally wasted my time making a response. Thanks for making things clear Cray.
