[stonetone]

E-mail sent on a RMD and SW, respectively in tanker/black canvas and sage... Totally stoked!

 

[Gaulois]

Thanks Gaulois,
I meant to ask what color it is?Is it moss?

It's black canvas micarta on black blade,the black canvas micarta doesn't look black but it become black when wet or used.

 

[Gaulois]

the Third RatManDu on the first page is Moss

Is there a swedge on RMD Eric or any1?

From Jaxx's picture it seems that RMD does have a swedge

Yes, that is a swedge, but the end result is more of a rounded spine than a swedge.

Actually, the HRLM in my pix is Tanker Grey with the black canvas micarta.

Couldn't resist -- just added a Moss Warden to go with the Tan/Moss RMD. :thumbup:

Decided that I don't foresee any knife fights in the near future so I skipped the regulator deal and went for 2 wardens and of course another howler (actually it will be my 10th, all of them different). I always wanted a tan micarta one.

How does it look on sheaths for the wardens, who makes nice ones.

 

[kzooglock23]

Got a moss warden and sage warden coming. Gonna give one to my brother. He'll probably say "What's this?".

Hi All,

These Ratganza knives are advertised as "through hardened".

Were the older Howling Rats and Ratmandus also through hardened or differentially tempered like other Swamp Rat blades?


Thanks.

Thanks.

It's my understanding any Swamp Rat knife under the 7" mark is through hardened.......I've been wrong before though.

For some reason I want to think that the M6 is differentially hardened. I really don't know thought. Can anyone confirm or deny that?

Generally speaking Rat's over 6" in blade length are differentially tempered. The only exception I can think of is the black/tan BR which was through hardened.
M6 was differentially tempered.
