O.K. who's bought and used the RAT-5?

I'm on the verge of purchasing one of these for my ongoing hunt for "El Chupacabra" and need some feedback. Does it hold it's edge well for bushcraft, have a comfortable handle? you guys know the drill.... also who has the best price on this blade?

I had one in 1095, held a good edge and very tough. I took the black coating off it and patinad it, sliced much better. Handle was very comfortable, I gave it to my buddy who was joining the military, and he loves it too.

Yup! removing the coating is first on the list if I buy this one, maybe even thinning down the handles?

It's a tank but it's a great tank.Very solid and feels strong.Great sheath too.It's my back-up to my S1.
