Anybody handled one. I like the looks of them but would like to hear some(unbiased) feedback from guys who have used or played with one.


thanks

I have carried and used a Swamp Rat Rat Trap since the Blade show. If it continues as it has performed up until now, it is going to become my all-time favorite folder. It is the most unobtrusive and easy to carry big knife I have ever owned, due to it's thin construction, with the inlaid liners. Fortunately, I live where people generally do not freak out over big knives, and I carry it everywhere.

Disclaimer: You asked for an unbiased opinion. The Busse family and the Busse afficianados have been so extremely accepting of and kind and generous to me, my wife, and my wheelchair bound, brain-damaged 24 year old daughter (hit and run victim) that I cannot honestly represent myself as being unbiased. It is a priviledge to associate with such people, and there is no way that my knife buying decisions and opinions are not affected by this fact.

I have no affiliation and don't even own a Busse or Rat. I handled one at the Show when I had already run out of money and now I am on a quest to get one.

It has an unbelievably slick action and it is a good using size and weight.

By all means read this review. Looks pretty complete to me being not just a feel good type of review. It does go a bit OT at times, but on the whole it gets into the pro's and con's of the knife.

I'm really big into Busse's and Swamp Rats, but do not own a Rat Trap. I only own 1 folder and that is a Sebenza. Right now, I have no need for a second. Just not really into knives that are broke in the middle.

I ordered one on May 7th and am still waiting for it. From all the reviews I've read it will be worth the wait.

There's a passaround starting up that I just signed up for, you could check that out too.
