Well, today I received my first Swamp Rat, it's a RatManDu. This is an awesome blade, a really nice feel to it. More weight in the handle which I like. This was a great buy.

A Ratmandu was my first Rat. So I bought another. Yeah, I liked it. :)

Looks like you have one with G10 scales, which (lucky for you) happen to be heavier than the Micarta scales. Both of mine have G10- luck of the draw, I picked both of mine up used. I prefer the way the G10 looks, but slightly prefer the feel of Micarta. Oh, well. Maybe I'll pick up a third one sometime.
 
Ratmandus are awesome knives. I like mine so well I bought another for my son for Christmas.
 
Nice score! It's one of the most all-around useful Rats ever.

Many years ago, I would've been happy with just a RMD. Boy that seems like a long time ago! :D
