OK - so they are not INFI, but figured you hogs would accept a few rats being posted here.

This morning I got up and went down to one of my favorite areas to hang out with the dog and took a few photos of my new Wauseon products. I have to say I'm pretty impressed with both items. Love the Rucki and how it feels in my hand. The Ratmandu is a nice size knife that I can see spending a lot of time on my belt in the future.

The area I go to used to be an old farm and there are several structures still standing that have some years on them. It was a little overcast, but made for an OK photo shoot. If you see my photos from my "Last Light" thread, you can see the barns I took these next to.

Here the Rucki is sitting on an old fence that has fallen down. I've never seen this type of fence joinery before.

Can you spot the Rat in this photo? That sage finish really blended in with the weathered wood.

The Rucki stood out a little better with the leaves and river as a background.

Another shot with the river. Wind was perfectly calm, so the water was like glass.

My tan handled rat trifecta. Original Ratweiler with the RMD and Rat Hunter.

Enjoy!
 
GREAT pics Brother, vice nice!!! I also like my RMD and ain't ashamed to admit it here. It is a perfect carry blade for an outing:thumbup:. But I will always have a Busse on my person as well:D
 
Nice photos!! With the overcast, it was effectively turning the whole sky into a light diffuser for your shots, which explains the very even lighting.
 
Great pictures and colors.

Are those tuned up or just the way they were shot ?
 
Thanks Guys! Good eye Pokey;) RokJok - I was actually thinking the same thing. Early morning or evening light is best, and overcast definitely evens everything out. Dave, the photos are unaltered, just as the Canon took them. The Rat Hunter wears one of your huffed products. I bought that Rat from Eric at Blade 2005, and the sheath the same day from you. Hindsight, I've got some users. My Camp Tramp is well worn. I had a worn Satin Jack TAC, but I gave it to one of my friends as he was leaving for Iraq. He told me it saved his arse one day, but I don't have the particulars. I was hoping the Ratmandu would serve as a replacement blade, but I think I'll still need to get a SJ TAC.....liked how that knife felt in my hand. Love how that RH sits in my hand, and the Rucki is awesome, too. I think my favorite Busse is the ASH 1 with mag scales. I have a FSH too. Mad the mistake of selling my CG FSH heavy heart. Not sure what the difference is in the handles, but the HH is more comfortable than the HOG FSH. Miss that knife sometimes......
