I'm being dead honest when I say this but this whole forum, to me, is a place we can all come to learn and have fun as a group, not much more. It is not solely about RAT Cutlery knives. I could really care less if we sell knives because of this forum. And that's the reason we welcome everyone here as RAT members regardless of what knife they buy or carry (after all it's just a simple damn cutting edge that hasn't really improved that much since the bronze age, and people get wound way too tight about a freakin' knife!). This whole RAT thing is about a "no-bullshit" philosophy of maybe opening some eyes to the reality of the world around us, and maybe being part of someone walking away more educated and possibly learning a skill that saves their ass sometime in the future. So, if you have never owned a real survival knife, start out with a good cheap machete and practice with that before you spend a lot of $$. You may just find that you don't need anything else. Seriously.![]()
Well spoken, Cap'n!
