Got my first Rat from Progunner on Saturday. It certainly won't be my last.

Congrats, that was my first as well. Good thing I stopped there.

Rats tend to multiply . . . that's what I heard.

Nice score - so what's next

I really should have waited. I'm getting married in a month and should really be saving my pennies right now, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity. So sometime after April (hopefully I'll get a nice little bonus), I'll be ordering a Desert Tan Camp Tramp to match and then fighting the urge to get more.

You'll really like the CT it's a great all around knife one of my favorites for outdoor carry

:footinmou As much as I WANT a Camp Tramp, after seeing the recent pictures posted here, I really NEED a Rat Trap. I would carry and use it everyday, whereas the CT would only get used a handful of times a year. So until I do get the Tramp, I can always use my CS Trail Master for camping chores, at least until the blade snaps in half http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=328256&highlight=scout+fails

. Actually, my CS has been good to me for over a decade, but that sure does raise an eyebrow. Mine is one of the older Carbon V satin finish blades with the brass guard. I think QC was better back then. But I still would prefer a big RAT. No QC issues there. I am expecting a decent tax return in a week or two, so hopefully it won't be an issue and I'll just get both the folder and the CT ... aw, who am I kidding. I know I'm going to get at least one of everything eventually. I can think of a need for every one of those knives, Ratchet included.

I'm sick, I need help.
