Swamp rat folder

Rat Traps were $138.95 retail, but last time I saw them in the secondary market, the price was around $250. There's no price guide for them, it comes down to 1) can you find one for sale, and 2) how much are you willing to pay.
 
I have a Rat Trap. It's a good knife with a big S30V blade that carries flat and light. It isn't the smoothest action when new, but once it breaks in, it is plenty fast. I also have a Blade Tech Rijbak, which is much more robust, being a titanium framelock. Blade Tech made the Swamp Rat folder, or so I am told. The Benchmade Dejavoo is another excellent folder, smoother than the Rat Trap and probably just as rugged. So if you can't find a Rat Trap I can highly recommend the other two folders I just mentioned. The Benchmade Skirmish is another brute of a knife, but a bit much for pocket carry. All these knives are in the price range of the Rat Trap. BTW, the RT is my EDC.
