91bravo 91bravo I just got this puppy back from Eric @ Mashed cat and all I can say is......awesome!
Both of you blew me away. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome.
To think back in 2004, a redneck Hillbilly from WV, dreaming of his favorite Swamp Rat knife, to be made of INFI, and now, here we are today.
Dreams can and do come true. Thanks Boss!

Now, I know you want pics, but I have a problem, my PC that I use to post pics with has crashed. When I described what happened, my geeky coworkers think it's the video card. Nonetheless, it's down and I'm NOT a High Tech Redneck. Also, I tried the phone thing...no go.
Will post when I can.

Looking forward to pics of it soon!
 
I'm loving my newest Rodent 3 - satin, with spalted maple handle (magnum? Definitely thicker than standard. Sporting AZWelke kydex). I used it for most of VDay lunch prep (used my BK5 for the rest)

Remind me not to lift my shirt like that for pictures in the future, lol.
A better look at the knife

I'm normally black and satin, satin and black. While I prolly wouldn't have bought what you have, like I said, they sure are sweet.
 
I think it was in somebody's Grab Bag... saw it on the Exchange & started a conversation with the seller. Wasn't actually planning on buying it... things just worked out that way. (I already had 2 CS R3s, and 2 "regular"ones that I had to strip because of the coating colors - so there was no need, or particularly strong want)

The Rodent 3 really does feel great in hand - and the extra thickness of this one makes it a joy to use. I was just about to order a CS R3 when the Custom Shop was taken away from us...I still want that knife; so I'll probably sell the two strippers if/when I get a chance to order it.

Good luck. If I can get an INFI Ratweiler, anything's possible.
Speaking of that, after Jonny stripped her down and put the wool to her, he touched the edge up a tad. Jonny, you are the man!
She is ready to go!
 
I was really liking the CS Rodent 3's when the grab bags hit and everyone was posting pics. Might have to pick one up someday.

I know how excited you were for this one, and I'm very glad that it all came together in a way that makes you happy :) It was good of Jonny to help get it finished out, too! Now get those pics up so we can ooh and ahhh! :D
