Just got this Custom Shop Game Warden 2 in from a Mystery Grab bag, but it's way to nice for my grubby mitts. ;) It is INFI in a Satin finish and has mosaic pins and I'm clueless on the wood type.
*The specks are dust.

Asking $old

Not sure what model of Ratmandu in 5/32" that was sharpened by Nor Cal Blacktail. It has micarta handles and was used by my teenager for a couple of years. Comes with a nice kydex sheath with good retention and a Teklok.
*The last pic has 3 RMD's for comparison. Left to right: 3V, Stripped, and a FFG.*

Asking $old


Just got this nice BuyBrown kydex sheath in for a FFG Ratmandu, but unfortunately I'm a Southpaw and it won't see any use.

FYI: The Ratmandu you have listed as a sterile LE is not correct. The actual model of the Limited Edition Ratmandu was marked 1 of 300 and featured Black G-10 handles, your blade appears to be black canvas micarta. As you mentioned edge work done by Norcalblacktail, I'd wager that the blade was also stripped and satin finished by him as well considering there is no logo. This likely started as a standard 3/16" thick Combat Grade SR-101 version and the logo was lost after stripping and satin finishing. Either way, it looks to have a very nice and useful cutting geometry at the edge so it should make a great user RMD for someone.

Thanks for chiming in. I was trying to go off of memory from the prior owner.

Update: I spoke with Becky at Busse and she confirmed that there were no sterile Ratmandu's produced and so it has to be a stripped model.
