Can't wait for the OPM! Since the first day I discovered the joys of RATs, I've wished for one, and I guess that wish is gonna' come true!

Woo Hoo RTAK!!!!!!
Jeff, just a suggestion: For the RTAK, maybe use a kydex sheath with holes spaced for a large Tek Lok like the other sheaths have, and a little kit of spacers and bolts such that one of the smaller knives can piggyback on the RTAK (or sell such a piggyback kit separately. Maybe add a shoulder strap (Tony was kidding, I'm not) for using the sheath in a baldric setup? It'd make the RTAK and especially a piggyback setup easy to carry. I find I hardly feel the weight of a big knife when carried on a baldric.

No...Yea, it's great.
In the mean time, I'm trying to convert my hatchet and shovel into a set of high heels.
Just joking, I carry my hatchet on a baldric alot of the time, it's a great way to pack some extra cordage and a larger item comfortably.

The RTAK style blade is about what you asked for, no? Without the cheesy sheath of course
Kinda. Widen the blade up a bit, make a more pronounced finger guard, add a choil, and get rid of that little dip at the end of the blade.
And yeah, no cheesy sheaths. I might eat them.
In all honesty, RAT's (RC-6) molded sheaths are very good. Very little rattle and secure retention. I just prefer kydex and the ability to design it how I like. Molds are expensive, or so I'm told, so if it cuts down on the up front cost and speeds it along to production, I'm all for it. :thumbup:
