RC6 different blade design?

[gundude73]

I wish there was a store by me that sold RAT Cutlery blades at a reasonable price so i could pay cash for them

the knife stores by me only sell ontario rats. so i just buy online

Trust me, either one will stab someone quite easy.

anyone know if the swedge is as hard as cutting edge. it would be nice if the swedge could be sharpened.

Well so far RAT knives have not used a differential heat treat, so if these are the same they should sharpen up fine. Someone tell me if I am wrong.

What a sweet lookin' blade!

I like the looks of it. Reminds me of the rc5 in a way.

 

[Bigfattyt]

I do like a nice unsharpened swedge on some of my knives.

Check your state's laws about double-edged knives if you're thinking of getting one. Where I am it's fine, but just over the border it's a felony.

 

[Cpl Punishment]

An unsharpened swedge does not constitute a double edged knife.

That is why "Clip point" knives like a Ka-Bar USMC are legal most places that a Bowie knife isn't. Clip point denotes an unsharpened false edge, while Bowie has the edge sharpened.

I'm glad my state has only one knife related law! and it says nothing about a sharpened swedge, which makes for a happy KA-BAR.

The swedges were in fact sharpened. I handled them myself. They look EXTREMELY cool but I think I'll stay with the original design for my purposes.
