Rodent 3 for EDC?

Yup, that is definitely it! Just have to wait for after the holidays... Sometimes I think I go to work just to fuel my knife addiction :)

I'm definitely in the same boat. Every time I get a paycheck all I see is a blade...or a sheath...or a sharpener:D
 
Nope, the c/s satin finish with blue/black g10 from the Ganzaaa. :D



:cool:

Yeah, that one caught my eye immediately! It looks a LOT like the Busse SAR 3, but at almost half the price. Still kicking myself for not buying one of the stag-handled SAR 3's from a Ganzaaa awhile back for ~$280 though.

Unfortunately, looks like the cs R3 won't get here till after Christmas since I still haven't gotten a ship notice. :( Oh well.

Bummer, dude. At least you'll have something extra to look forward to after Christmas!
 
I couldn't stand it................just ordered the R3 from the Swamp shop! :thumbup: Now the waiting begins.
 
Late update. Sorry. I got my Rodent 3 a few days after Christmas. Almost right out of the box, I thinned the edge just a bit, and put a nice, shiny convex edge on her. :D Here are some glamour shots! :cool:

I'm really digging this knife! It's been getting tons of use, and is showing some patina now (from cutting raw meat), but I'm sending it off to Al Welke on Monday for a blue sheath (then to Dwayne for a pocket pouch). I'm gonna miss her while she is out. Perfect sized EDC in my opinion! :thumbup:
 
Picked up a R3 while looking for a EDC fixed too but found it too small and went back to my Busse AD and AMS. I've got 2 ESEE 3's though that I would pick before the R3. Really Really like my Rodent 4 though..
 
Late for the party...... Picked up an R3 ( satin, blue g10) at the Xmas ganzaaa. Got a black sheath from David Brown..... Beautiful combo. The knife fits my medium size hands perfectly. You can bring your thumb along the spine for finer work. I love the belly on the blade..... Knife is great in the kitchen as well. Very comfy to carry ..... The "short" handle helps in the comfort department, it won't rub up or jab your side.

Sorry for poor pic quality

Nice Knives you guys :thumbup: I definitely need one of these. Tan/black or green/black G10 and a satin blade sounds pretty nice right about now ~
 
All this talk about the Rodent 3 and all those nice pics from everyone, really makes wanting one of those small guys :thumbup:- Love pocket size fixed blades.
