At the risk of being fed baited cheese at my other home, here is my honest opinion. 
I prefer the SH-e as an all round bush knife. Opposite to Progunner I prefer the dropped point on the SH-e. It makes a far better skinner.
As far as handle comfort goes I prefer the RW.
Weighing up the likes and dislikes when it comes down to grabbing one of them to go live in the bush for six months or so, Id grab the SH-e every time.
Ian.
BTW, If this had included the SFNO, my response would be different again.

Don't have a Ratweiler, but I'll never let my SH-E go. It was one of my first
Busses'. Like Ian, I prefer the drop point for skinning purposes and I think the Sh-e is one of the best designs for a do-all field knife.:thumbup:

From an aesthetics point of view the Ratweiler wins hands down. I have not handled a Ratweiler and I am still waiting for mine to arrive since August, but If I had to choose one it would be the SH-E. I have an SH affair and if I could only keep one style of blade it would be the SH. :thumbup:
