Hey guys, I am looking at a ratmandu as my first rat, and can't decide on a color. I do not want a paper handle and plan to go with canvas. My problem is I can't tell what is what with color combos and can't see the different combos on the website. Would someone be so kind as to post some pics of muddy brown, desert sage, and black blades with black or tan canvas. My issue is that some look very similar in different lighting. Also wondering what the ratmandu CG in the website photo is for colors, can't tell if its sage or muddy. Thanks a bunch guys
 
Thanks for the confirmation hindsight. I think that's probably the combo I am after. My next question is about shipping. It states that Canadian orders will only process for established customers. I have never owned one before so does this mean I can't buy or do I just have to call and verify my info? Thirdly does anyone know what kind of time frame there is on an order as far as wait time? Thanks again.
 
Sage with black canvas.

I've ordered from the site with no problems, without having to confirm anything to anyone (I imagine that as long as you pay, that's all the confirmation they need). My shipping times ranged from 2 weeks to 4 months, with e-mail communication being strained at times (I hear they improved, and my last order my e-mails were replied to within a day). On the bright side, a 4 month waiting time would allow you to sit around and contemplate your knife order for 4 months, which I would imagine is a vast improvement to regular life in Moosomin (sorry, I can't help but take a jab at my fellow prairie folk).
 
Trust me I'm not offended by a prairie joke buddy. Thanks for the pics guys, it has been a big help. Now my concern is the time frame. I will have to make a call because two weeks isn't bad at all, 8 weeks is understandable, but 16 weeks will probably have me going elsewhere. I sure do want that Ratmandu though, and if I place the order my cousin will be getting a Rodent 6 at the same time.
 
Grayzer I do believe that we are processing orders right around the 4 to 5 week time frame right now.
 
Not wanting to highjack the thread, and seeing as I'm rather new to the Ratmandu drooling, also seeing that the Custom Shop seems down on the website...

Is there a possibility to order some handle materials in different colours? The blue/black is REALLY growing on me. :D
 
In the second picture, the bottom RMD is tanker with blue/black scales. It is a very nice combo.
 
I got my normal RMD CG in my hands in 3 weeks exact. The custom shop RMD SE i just got took about 9 weeks.

Green/black g10 is my favorite and I love the black canvas micarta. Satin is beautiful, And tanker grey (the newer tanker coating) is just amazing up close, pictures cant do that coating justice. I like the older tan micarta more than the newer tan, and all the blue/black pictures look great but i personally like the red/black more. As long as we keep orange out its all good :)

Worldwood, awesome picture.

Thanks a bunch for that.

And here's an little note for Grayzer: Never forget about the customs delay.

I got a custom Graham sit for an extra 3 weeks at the customs before it was delivered. Of course, F5ing the tracking record is another wonderful activity you can add to "contemplating your knife order" for 4 months"
