My First Rat !!!

[love4steel]

Well Im the PROUD new owner of one Camp Tramp and I gotta tell you... this is an impressive knife. Haven't used it yet but the knife is fairly heavy and razor sharp and just beggs to go to work. I know the battlerat is supposed to be the better chopper but Im fairly confident that this thing could chop if need be. Also is nice how you can choke up on the blade with the choil. This thing feels great in the hand.. I like the grip and the handle material. TWO QUESTIONS PLEASE:

1) Will pulling/pushing knife in and out of sheath dull the blade? (I cant tell if the blade actually rubbs against the kydex)

2)The factory edge is very nice on this knife..when I loose it whats the best way to get it back? Whats the best angle to sharpen at, and can I send it in to be sharpened by factory?

THANK YOU

Love4Steel,
Congrats on the new blade. Glad you like it and I hope you enjoy using/abusing it

1) No the only part that really should rub on the kydex are the sides of the knife and this should only happen at the tip.

2) You can send it in if you would like but you can also do it yourself. The Rat's are fairly easy to sharpen with either a strop or a good stone.

I hope this helps

I'm fairly confident your confidence is not misplaced. Congrats on a great knife!
