Hi Hal,
I hope you found your trade.
I do have one RAT 1 which is BROWN. It has sat in my safe for several yrs. It has the triangle. I bought it AS new, but the clip position was changed. It shows no wear, but can see where the clip was originally. The blade appears as 100% with factory edge. The edge will push-cut printer paper and appears excellent.
I would be happy to trade, but I know you wanted "black." I have closeup pics if you have an interest...
best regards,
Don aka sonnydaze
