Well I only recently started going back to church after an absence of 10+ years and the firs fixed blade I buy has the serial no. 0666 heh... things that make me go "hmmm"
That said this is a nice knife, I've been using a Spyderco Paramilitary as my primary blade for the last couple of years, so the RC-3 fits my usage very well, light hiking, utllitarian camp knife but also capable of much more for those unexpected situations. I know a fix blade is more reliable then a folder. So for me it was a toss up between a Fallkniven and RAT.
RAT was my choice -thanks to all the positive feedback on this forum board, the warranty and price point, plus it's a good functional no nonsense design with great carry options. Very nice package. :thumbup:
Well I've got to say it's definitely got me thinking about an RC-4 as a heavier duty knife, if anyone hasn't seen Noss' destruction test of an RC-4 on Youtube, it held up really well! I'll probably go for Orange G-10 handles, one of the reasons I picked the MIL was because of the Canvas Micarta, never had a knife with that material handle and I was curious. My curiousity has been satisfied. I could be wrong but I'm thinking the G-10 will wear better in the long run.
The rest of my blade family:
