Just one thing! Most of knives with 1095 blade have protecting finish so probably they won't rust.

Please give me just one fact which says something different about 1095 steel. Does any hunter uses blade with this steel or knife maker who uses this steel for outdoor or hunting knives. Why? Because these steel has very poor cutting ability.

If my RAT or TAK broke or damage during use I wouldn't say that this model or company is bad or that I " don't like them ". You twisting my words constantly. I don't like complete idea and design of all RAT models because they are same thing as is Tom Brown or Rambo knives. Nice and useless. Why? Because they use 1095 steel which is, maybe proper for bayonets, but isn't for hunting and outdoor activities. This is carbon steel, blade is tough but blades with this steel lose fine edge instantly. After one week in kitchen for preparing food you must use much more pressure on knife because it can't cut anymore. This isn't question what who like or not. This steel isn't for this type of knives. Shape of these knives isn't for military use because of commercial design ( " cool " and " in " ). What is in this my opinion so negative? You want me to write something good about something so useless? Sorry, this is company's problem not mine.

then why in the hell do you keep buying them?


:confused:
 
This I talking all time. 1095 steel isn't proper choice for outdoor blades. I actually don't understand meaning of " survival knife " so can't say anything for that so called, type of knives. 1095 is knife for bayonets, it's cheap, tough, has much more specific weight than other alloys. When you stab enemy on this, it isn't matter how it cuts. Outdoor knives should be must different in both ways - design and material. I don't believe materials such as " micarta " , " kraton " etc. for long use in nature. They not intent for knife handles. G 10 is different story, titanium, carbon fibers and aluminium maybe, but rest wont work well. Even these materials are expensive, rough and uncomfortable for handles but they sure tough.

A knife is only as good as the man who uses it.
You can't cut an orange for squat so apparently it's the knife's fault right?
Any knife will rust if you don't care for it, genius.
Anybody who knows anything about blade material knows to oil carbon regularly.
I've dressed, cleaned, skinned, butchered, broken bones with the spine of that knife on 5 deer in one evening (with the help of family members): 3 does, two bucks (one a button, the other a spike) with my old RAT7....and still didn't need to sharpen it.
I've built shelter after shelter with that knife. Chopping, batoning, slicing, whittling, notching, etc...you name it.
I've used it in pouring rain, snow, and ice. No problems at all. A little steel or stone, strop it across my belt and it's ready for more.

The little Rat Cutlery Izula I have works like charm as well. Holds a damned fine edge and does everything I've needed it to do.

You sir, are full of sh-t as a Christmas turkey.

Your reviews are as useful as broken penis. Full of bias and one sided (you sure you're not a liberal or work for MSNBC?) as they can be.

Take it someplace else.:thumbdn: :mad: :grumpy:

Well said! :thumbup:
 
Once more a thread in Knife Reviews and Testing has deteriorated into personal insult and frustration.

cabala, the few "facts" you interject are wrong. The opinions you repeat in each of your reviews are irrelevant. Your contributions all border on trolling.

Read more, post less.

Might I suggest (and this is just a simple suggestion) that the thread be locked, before this goes any further? I remember how it ended up in the thread he made about the RC3. He will not listen to reason or anyone else's point of view, and all that does is anger some of the other members, and it becomes a digital shouting match. Just my $0.02.......
