This thread is needed. Im a huge fan of the rat 2 until i lost it or gave it away. Pretty sure i gave it away. Now ive got the zancudo and its a good one too. Post up your photos.
The rat 2 is about worn out, probably from leaving it outside after cleaning rabbits. The avispa in d2 is a fantastic upgrade. Not pretty, but here they are...
It's really not. It's one of the lightest folders I've ever owned, and it feels really slick in the hand. It's hard to explain, but it makes me think of Sean Connery's James Bond. Very formal appearance, but totally rugged and hard use in practice. I'll but using this knife at work as well as the woods, and I truly believe it will work well in both environments. So much so, that I'm getting the Satin version as well.
Where did you get yours from, @bearthedog Mine was just the knife in a small box. Nothing that normally comes with these blades (coin, stickers, etc).
Like it. Its bigger than i would carry for a edc so i took the pocket clip off and use it as a woods cooking knife. Replaces my old model 1. Love it for that.
