Rat 1 Folder

[Cornelis Böhms]

I have quite a few Spydies. Most of them are perfectly allright!

However, about a fifth display some kind of flaw. Normally it would be blade play, uneven grinds, uneven tips, blade touching liners, warped blades, bad blade centering, rough scales, gritty action and so on.

Thanks dePaul,
Most of my Spydies are allright also! But it is allrigh for a customer who pays a fair amount of money for a knife to be critical.

Agreed. Especially for those collectors' peaces

I'm getting a bit tired trying to explain my point of view.

No, you are getting tired of backpeddling and having everything you say discredited with simple logic and facts.

Again you come with the term "insulting remark".

That's because you made one. Remember? That's what started this.

Did I ever said that all Spydies have bladeplay?

No, I believe I told you exactly what you said, but you've taken up a strategy of completely ignoring every point I've made. You're totally cornered at this point, posting random statements to try and distract me and anybody else reading this from what actually was said.

Or are you an angry young man,

No.

trying to win a semantic discussion,

I'm not trying to win anything, just getting tired of you subtle jabs and inability to be civil about your opinions.

and
alongside insulting me?

Never happened.

It looks like a very impressive,well made, stout knife. While I have less and less need/use these days for a real heavy duty folder ( I have pretty much settled upon the Al Mar SERE 2000 for my "strong man" needs, which I use infrequently ), if I were in the market, so to speak, I would certainly look closely at the Rat 1 folder. At about $60, I think one would be hard pressed to find a "better" built, heavy duty folder irregardless of it's country of origin.

These days I'm much more likely to spend my money on something like this :

I like natural material handles. Please tell me more about this beauty.

Thanks for asking.......this is a Kabar large Jack Knife with stag handles, high polished carbon blades and a silver Dog Head Shield. It measures 4 1/4 inches long closed. This slip is a Ka-Bar Club knife which dates to 1979 made by Queen Cutlety...... a "reproduction" from Ka-Bar's original line made mid-century. It is very well "put together".

-Cheers

...and congratulations to you for owning a Rat 1 folder......as I mentioned above, I think one would be hard pressed, for the money, to find a better built heavy duty folder ! While there are many other fine choices available.....this is right there at the top of the pile. I remember following the development of the Rat folder by Jeff Randall and Ontario, and it seems to me they were VERY careful to get things right, going slowly checking and rechecking design and performance before release.

-Cheers !
