Ratweiler / Chopweiler... a question for our Swamp Rat gurus

[Gray Dog]

Have a look at the logos on these blades, both are different. I've seen some with no logos and I've heard that different generations were produced.

Question is... do the logos represent anything, different generations perhaps? Are some more desirable than others based on logos (or no logos)

Much Appreciated

Yea brother! Different generation logos. Oldschool and new school, and beauties at that!

Thanks snwbrdr202

So...what generations are they - and - is one generation better than another ?

Both Ratweiler and Chopweiler were differentially heat treated, so no difference there.
The real difference is in micarta and different tube fasteners.
And Ratweiler was first.

I still stand by my offer of a good condition right kidney for a mint Chopweiler.

at least you are advertising the kidney in good shape and not the liver.
