Guys, I got a new toy . . . AND I LOVE IT!!!
It's so light in the hand. So comfy! :D

Super nice balance, too. (Even better than that of the Basic #3, imho.)
See for yourself . . .

Wait until I got the decent Kydex pants for it . . .
No doubt, it's gonna be a GREAT EDC. ;)

For its price, nothing can beat the Howling Rat.

I couldn't agree more, Santi. The HR is the first and only Rat I've picked up so far (still looking for a Desert Rat or anticipating a Satin Rat.) I was waaay pleasantly surprised at the feel and balance of this blade. I really bought it more to "experience" whether the Swamp Rat hype was justified or not; I didn't expect THAT much out of the HR. It is now, I think, my favorite fixed blade!

The used one I purchased had BB pants with a teklok. It works perfectly for horizontal, small-of-back carry.

Nice pics!
 
Congrats Santi! The Howling family is by far my favorite line of Swamp Rats.

It's the perfect size IMO for when you need a sheeple friendly knife that can do anything. It thinks big! :eek:

I'm glad you like it, Santi.

Cheers, :D

Very nice looking pics! The HR is the best hunting knife that I've ever had.
