probably about 8 years ago, 250ish made. not all numbered, some numbers had two knives... mine's not for sale.
pack members were allowed to buy two knives each, and had the option of their pack number or numberless. some got both numbered, for a user and a safe queen. there was an agreement at the time to not resell for profit, but that pretty well ended as soon as the esee forum exodus.
I've owned a few. Etched and stripped one, kept another one mint for a while. Still got these 2. The numbered one (#011) is my go to EDC/backpacking knife (when i'm not carrying an izula). The unnumbered one is spare
I purchased what I termed a 'Thanksgiving Seconds' RAT Pack RC-3 back at around Thanksgiving of 2009. This second run of the RAT Pack knife was not numbered with the person's RAT Pack #. I think the 2nd run was also limited to one per person which is only why I have one. Once I took delivery, it was sent to Knifeworks in Louisiana for engraving.
Hard finding a current price for one of these on the internet. Besides the skull and knife "cross bones" my other favorite feature is the "Rat Pack" screw heads. Here is a nice custom Yellow Hawk sheath with orange Exotac firesteel to go along with the orange G10 scales. This may be trade bait for something special at some point. They aren't seen very often.
Having a moment, and decided to sell this one for US $150 if you're interested. It'll be up on the for sale page shortly...
Well got mine in today, yes I'm a late bloomer lol. Couple questions, how many of the second run were made and does anyone remember the price?
Were the orange scales slick on these? Compared to the new black g-10 ones that have traction, these are really smooth
