I have here a dead mint Swamp Rat Knife Works Rat Mastiff!!! Yes, it is dead mint! Not a scratch or blem to be seen, nor are there any smoothing spots on the crinkle coat. I was lucky enough to pick up two of these in the last year, but I only want to keep my user...
This is a generation one Rat Mastiff. The blade is sterile, saber ground, it has a WICKED penetrator tip, and the old school black canvas micarta scales...which I believe to be the most beautiful black micarta I have ever seen. I kid you not...this blade feels unbelievable in hand and it was my grail knife for the longest time. Specs are as follows:
Steel: Differentially heat-treated SR-101
Blade Length: 9 3/4''
Overall Length: 15 3/8''
Thickness: 1/4''
I would much rather just trade for a nice piece of INFI, but I would be willing to sell it as well. OK, well here is my wishlist and I would be happy to add a blade or some cash for the right trade:
1. SAR-8 (satin or double cut) or a SAR-4 LE
2. NMSFNO (mags preferred)
3. ASH-1 (mags preferred)
4. Inactive Duty (g-10 scales preferred)
5. Customs (Tom Krein or Horton only!)
6. Cold Steel San Mai III Trail Master (MUST BE NEW IN BOX!)
If you have anything else along these lines to offer, feel free to shoot me an email at snwbrdr202 at hot mail dot com. Thanks for having a look gents!
