Man have I been lucky on this forum just lately !
My latest good luck is recieving a brand new Rat knives RC4 to borrow and test for a couple of months !!!!
This is all thanks to fellow member KGD who won the knife in a contest held by the RAT knives group and offered it to me for being a fellow Canuck !!!!
Anyways first impressions are that this is a great looking knife, the fit and finish are awesome and the factory edge shaves hair with ease !
After making another bald patch on my arm I tried the knife at cutting a post-it......
I then tried making a fuzz stick, this was kinda strange as one minute the knife cut the wood like butter but the next it kinda skidded off as if it didn't want to bite into the wood ? Not too shabby though, better than most of my other blades !
Here it is compared with a knife of similar size, my Swamprat Bandicoot, which is my most carried knife at the moment and I also included Pit Jr's Ontario TAK so you can get an idea of the size.....
Anyway KGD told me not to baby the knife so although I won't abuse it as Nos does I will use it as I do my other blades and include such tasks as notching wood and battoning !
I am going away shortly but will post a future review as soon as time permits !!!!
