So, I've been bit by a rat.
Badly.
And now I'm just about to order a blue/black RatMandu and a blue/black Rodent Solution. Both in Tanker gray.
The Ratmandu was a no-brainer, I just had to have one, and I think pretty much everything about that knife is perfect for it's size. But the smaller blade gave me some pretty hard time choosing between the RS and the Rodent 3...
I love smaller blades; 3" for me is kinda perfect (and legal to EDC). But then, I read so many good things about the RS's handle... And of course, having the stock SR-101 thinned to 1/8" rather than the standard 3/16" would make sense to me as I'd want it to be a slicer.
So, it brings us to the question: To what extent the Swamp will customize your knife?
I will go with the Rodent Solution, that one is now a given as I fear that the R3 would be too short handled for me. But would the Swamp be willing (for a price, of course), to thin out and/or shorten the blade?
I know Trissy would have answered that question in an heartbeat, but I'm also interested in seeing your takes on these mods.
Thanks in advance and pardon my French.
