Say Heah Boys and Girls, I started with my Ratmandu then I wanted a chopper so I got the Rodent 9, I luv it in spite that some say they don't like the Lightning Bolt handle, It didn't take long and I got use to it and I luv it.
Then to lower some weight and still have a good survival knife I got the Rodent 7 and it became one of my favorite especially with my Rodent 4 as its partner, I like this set especially on extended trips where I still take a Axe and a Saw.
Then when I wanted a 6" blade, I didn't like the tactical look of the Rodent 6 so I had it thinned down and the top gaurd taken off, It became my favorite knife as far as my favorite trio with Hatchet and Saw, I really like a trio especially when I scout out a new area. Not as cumbersome as taking a multi carry, I can move faster with a trio. They did a awesome job modifying my Rodent 6 by the way.
Then I just needed the Rodent 3 and 5, But I also got the Rodent Rucki as my Summer Long Knife. I luv it, It chops, and I can baton with it and I can still use it as a smaller knife to finish a job where just a knife is needed.
I recently got the Ratweiler, WoWwhat a awesome One Tool Option, even though I teamed it up with my Rodent Solution, The balance, the choir allows me to use it as a knife and it's a formidable chopper all in one, a little weight to it, But it's good weight, because I don't need to take a Hatchet when using it, just a saw.
If you want to multi carry and still take a Axe and a Saw, Then the Rodent 7 shines. But if you want a knife/chopper and you don't want a Hatchet, and you don't mind a little weight. The Ratweiler is it.
