Firstly, I've read lots of the threads going way back (forgot nearly everything now though, as is my way), and I'm definately getting a Rat whether I need one or not.
My main question is should I get the BR or the CT? I don't really need anything small because I've got an F1 and WM1 which I presume will last for a long time given that I don't loose'em. Thing is that I want the BR because....well I don't have a BIG knife and.......it's the flagship model isn't it!!! But then again the CT's pretty big too and it's not so threatening as the BR for obvious size reasons.
I was also wondering how the sharpening compares to that of the VG-10 used on Fallknivens. I've heard in places that VG-10 is hard to sharpen and being the only convex blades I have I was wondering how the SR101 or whatever it is compares. (If anyone knows)
Don't ask what I'll be using the knife for because to be honest, I have no idea. I might end up doing volunteer work in some third world country, or conservation in Florida, or just working in my dad's (large) garden here in the UK.
I'd also like to point out that I have a cold steel machete, however the Rats might be so much better that I'd give that to my dad because it'd be redundant in my possession.
Eric, do you ship to the UK?
These knives both see like excellent quality tools and I'm really not sure which one to choose. Please help by giving me your opinions, I can't stop thinking about it.
