The RC 4 finally arrived!!!

As I talked about in my first post, The minute I saw my first RAT knife, I knew they were different. They looked practical and made to work. I cant say my first outing did it justice, but as I walked out in the brush, many an image came to me of defending myself from maurading feral hogs with tusks as sharp razors, and hunting a deer with nothing but the knife between my teeth. While none of those things happened, I did get to use the blade to saw through a 1/4 inch mesquite branch and after shaping the branch, use it to cook up some grub. Ok, I admit not near as cool as hog chasing but way practical. I have included a pic of the knife, and a pic of my pack...not really a RAT pack but a pack nonetheless!

I actually like it...It sure helped sawing through the mesquite branch. I read all the threads on here about it but it seems to me the serrations will do well with what I want to do with the knife. I have not tried sharping it yet..
 
Congratulations! Looks like a good pack you've got there!

Congrats, sharpening it is a breeze, same angle all the way through. Rat has the best serrs out there. I have them on my 6 a actually like them! I normally dislike serrs, but these are great.

Congrats on the RC4 :thumbup:
Sharpen just like you would a plain edge knife
 
Great stuff!

Just a warning though, it won't be your last RAT...:cool:

Are you carrying your RC-4 on the Maxped. bag or on your belt?

Thanks,
