An exceptionally tired Schrade CutCo Hawbaker Special which I carry once in awhile.View attachment 1242609

Super, when the bladetip snaps, there's still a full blade left and then make a butterknife of the broken one!

Forgot to include text above^^I like a muskrat. I'm not planning to skin anything but they're great slicers. The 77OT just feels good to handle and use.

I had a gorgeous Case Muskrat in their Chestnut Bone CV:

It was a great knife - easy to pocket, good size. However, it is the same frame as their 6347 Stockman, which I prefer for the blade variety. This particular specimen went to live with our fellow forumite, ISKRA, over in Slovenia. Hopefully he is still enjoying it, or has passed it on to someone who does.

Queen Cutlery, D2 single spring. One of the best made production knives I own, no rub no gaps great W&T. But, the pattern's blade duplication is not to my liking so much.

After seeing all of the great muskrat photos I can appreciate why this knife is favored by lots of folks.

That Queen looks like a perfect Ratcliffe candidate ... just sayin'. Unless it's a collector & not a user, I bet you'd like it a whole lot more with a nicely shaped wharncliffe secondary (you & I shared the same sentiments - blade duplication didn't make much sense to me)...

Muskrat knife = identical clip blades. "Improved muskrat" is nice, but not a muskrat.

"Improved" doesn't necessarily mean different blades.

A Hawbaker muskrat is still a muskrat. It's just a Hawbaker.

Interesting yes but it would be tricky. The nail nick and length of the blade plus my poor skills would result in a Marecliffe Anyway, the knife is so well-made I don't want to tamper with it.
