Swamp Rat Ratmandu in INFI? Anyone heard of this Bussekin in INFI steel?

[Hale Storm]

Looking to trade a guy a Survive GSO 7/7 for a Ratmandu in INFI steel. I thought all Swamp Rats were made in SR101?

I need a pic and info if anyone has one.

Thanks

It is made from SR101 just like all Ratmandus.

Except for the limited run only available at this year's Blade show.

If that's the case, I stand corrected. There have been people after that combination for several years now.

It is indeed a real and highly sought after knife released only at Blade 2014. The Swamp Rat forums here went a little nuts over it

Apparently they've been begging for one for years. The Swamp's best small blade design paired with Busse's legendary INFI is pretty much knife perfection...


...at least according to them.


Oh, and Hale, as far as I can tell from pictures I've seen, the legit INFImandu should have "INFI" etched next to the main logo.

Thanks Grease. I've now seen a few pics and the INFI etch. Hope this guy makes the trade. He offered.

If he doesn't, don't despair. SR101 is more than adequate for a knife the size of the RatManDu. In fact, about the only thing you'll gain in the INFI version is some increased corrosion resistance. PS: Just in case you don't think SR101 is up to the task, check this out:

Then ask yourself a question. Do you really think you're likely to put an SR101 knife through more than that? If not, why pay more for INFI?

I got one as well. They are all satin blades same thickness and handle of the standard one. So any RMD sheath will fit. I doubt the blade show version will be the only ones. They will probably have some in CG versions so it will be cheaper.
