When I first Met the original RatManDu I thought man this is a great all around useful knife. Muddy brown with black canvas micarta handle scales and it has been by my side since day one and is still there today. I use my RatManDu every day even if i have to make up a reason to do so and it has never let me down; that being said I know obvious limitations of a knife and I wont purposelessly destroy it by asking too much of it without a really good reason. The Mega RatManDu put me in awe when I put it in my hand. It was like I was holding the best version of this knife that I could possibly imagine. Then I started thinking what would be the limitations of this one compared to the original? What possible situation could I be in that this would let me down? There is nothing I can think of. Awe struck by this beast of epic proportions I cant wait until I get to carry one of my very own by my side every day. I am pretty sure you will feel the same way I did when I held it for the first time.... like a proud papa!
