pulling the trigger

[swimmerdude1127]

So I think I'm finally ready to invest in some RAT products. Where do you guys recommend I start?

 

[Stormstaff]

What's going to be the primary uses?

 

[swimmerdude1127]

good question... a bit of EDC, maybe some camping, a knife to have in the car or jacket

 

[exidor]

I would start with Izlua RC-3mil RC-4 RC-6 then get the rest next week!
you did say you want to invest in some RAT prouducts?
this would be a good start I think.

 

[Stormstaff]

I would suggest either a RC-3 or an Izula for EDC. The RC-3 will get you into camping also. I would go with either a RC-4 for strictly a camp knife if you only have one knife. If using more than one knife, get a RC-6 & RC-3 or Izula combo.

This is my opinion which I'm sure will differ from some. Whatever you chose, you won't be sorry.

 

[Moengo]

RC-4 would be a good choice to accommodate everything you mentioned...no matter which one you buy, you'll also end up with an Izula sooner or later.

 

[Trenton55]

Get an rc-4 and then go ahead and order an izula to save on shipping

 

[stokka]

Izula for EDC, RC-3/RC-4 for camping, RC-5 to keep in the car.

 

[kelewis]

I'd say start off with the RC3.

Good for camping but also good for EDC

Another vote for the RC-3. It is a great size/shape for the majority of what needs doing IMHO.

 

[Jake Bauer]

Rc4......

 

[Iboschi]

RC-5 & an Izula = Bliss

 

[orrey45]

I went with the RC4 and Izula combo and very happy with it. Izula for EDC and the 4 while hiking/camping/hunting. I'm looking to get the RC3 at my car knife to complete my bag.

 

[creolescorpion]

For EDC IZULA or HEST

 

[AZWaterRat]

RC-3mil & Izula would be my reconmmendation.

 

[iflygreen]

Either RC-3 would have been my suggestion.

 

[lukeeson111]

RC-3 is my recommendation

 

[rc3mil]

I went with the RC4 and Izula combo and very happy with it. Izula for EDC and the 4 while hiking/camping/hunting. I'm looking to get the RC3 at my car knife to complete my bag.

Be sure to get the MIL version then with the glass breaker pommel.

 

[gundude73]

how long is the blade on the HEST?

 

[Billy516]

'Nother vote for the RC-3. It was my first and I find it fills alot of roles, really really well. It's a great EDC and even kitchen blade, and can easily handle alot of rougher chores outside or in camp. Great all-around knife.
