I had to start this thread as I am totally stoked to finally have one of these custom Swamp Rat's in my hands. I absolutely love this knife, plan to have a nice sheath built for it and use and showoff for the rest of my duration... Please post more RMD pics here!

Your first RMD as well? Great value, and well worth the wait IMHO.

Post us a pic when you have it.....

Thanks man! -- Definitely will do. I also have the Muddy Rodent 3 on the way. I'm sending it in to Jared Miller for a Paw Paw sheath for that one and Dave Brown is making me a sheath for the Ratmandu CG -- Exciting times!

Is that bowie grind the "standard" bowie variant from the Custom Shop, or did you specify how you wanted it ? Me like :thumbup:

Thanks for posting. Sweet CF Kydex sheath. Hey question, I'm new to the SR knifes, can you tell me more about that style of custom blade? Love it!

Andy, thanks for posting. impressive collection to say the least. That 1st picture you posted is money.

That pic I posted, was a hand held shot, quick and dirty, with a canon 135 2.0L lens.
 
Gents, I simply asked for a non-sharpened Bowie clip... This was almost exactly what I was after. Good belly with a very, very acute tip. It started life as a CG RMD with black paper scales and gray coated blade, saber ground. I requested it be reground to FFG & clip point, edge thinned out, choil opened up a wee bit, stripped and recoated black, and Black G10 scales added. Exceedingly comfortable in hand, extremely lightweight and comfortable to carry. Only slight changes I would make is bring the tip down a wee bit so it is in-line with the centerline of the knife, and would have asked for the logo to be coated over but visible if stripped. Kydex by GrinderMcGee, a friend of mine who does excellent work. I do not pry or baton with my blades, this one is a fixed EDC/hunting blade, also legal to carry in the city closest to my hometown where I cannot carry any locking folders:( Thank yall for the compliments, this is my first custom of any kind and now I understand why folks are so proud of their customs.

No locking folders, but a fixed blade is ok :rolleyes:

Ill never understand these type things. But in your case id be happy, i much prefer a fixed blade for pretty much everything.
