Had the camera out yesterday, and some good light. It recently came to my attention that I didn't have good pictures of a couple of my Rat short swords (and their pants). I resolved that minor issue. ;)

First up, my Arctic White Rucki with Red/Black G10 handle scales, and excellent Black leather pants from Dwayne of Armoralleather. It is a good color combo! :D This one is still a safe queen, and she might become one of my rare ones, because she's SO pretty.

Posing for a "pretty" picture...

Next up is my Waki. I bought this one second-hand, and thinned and convexed the edge. It is one heck of a chopper!!! Matching Kydex taco rig from Al Welke (AZWelke). I wasn't too keen on the color combo when I first got it, but I'll admit that it has grown on me since. Homemade lanyard, and I made the coffin at the end a bit too big. Oh well.

A half-hearted swing at this old timber, only intended to stick the blade for a picture. However, as you can see it did a LOT more than that!!! :eek:

Hope you enjoyed them!!! :thumbup:
 
Both different color combos for sure, but they look really nice. Muddy looks great. Thx for sharing.
 
Wow the white is absolutely stunning. My new grail knife. Awesome pics man.
 
I didn't even consider the arctic white, but that white blade with red & black G10 is beautiful!

Is the Rucki wearable with just the belt loop?
I'm considering a leather sheath like that too, I only wonder if it's not so heavy that I'll have to pull my pants up constantly...

Would you advise a bandoleer style carrying system in combination with the belt loop?

Thanks
 
The Rucki is an awesome design :thumbup: Very nice color choices! Great lookin' pants as well :D

Plenty wearable with just the belt loop. Weighs less than some loaded 1911-style CCW pistols rigs. Get a good (gun) belt and you won't need to be pulling your pants up. A Wilderness 5-stitch or a HD leather one will do the job nicely.
 
Adding some old pictures of my other Rucki, just because I feel like putting them in the same thread. It is black coated, with black and tan g10 handle scales. A Rodent Solution got caught in a few of the pics.
