More Knives to Share

I thought I would post more knives from my collection.  I started looking into fixed blades mainly because I don't have any and it would be nice to have when we go on hikes or camping.  I started looking at reviews and I belong to www.bladeforums.com and found some great write-ups on RAT Cutlery knives.  They are the perfect blend of function and form.  they really can take some abuse and after watching these destruction tests on YouTube where the user hacks at cinderblocks, 2x4's, metal plating and only when jumping on the handle twice with all 250lbs of body weight does the blade snap.  Not to mention the warranty from this company is outstanding.  Basically if you break it, they will replace it for free!!

I've picked up a few models.  The RC-4, RC-5 and RC-6.  I can't wait to try them out this year camping!!

I have also picked up a couple of Spyderco knives to share.

This is a picture of 2 Spyderco Ladybugs.  They are ment to be on a key chain so they are rather small but the bright colors are perfect for finding them easily

This is a Yellow Ladybug with H1 steel.  H1 is a new steel out of Japan that is perfect for wet and salty enviroments as it does NOT RUST!!!!  Spyderco makes many H1 bladed folders now and has been put to the test by scuba divers, Alaska Fishermen and anyone near or around water.  This size would be perfect for a tackle box.  Maybe a fathersday gift???  I know the knives my dad has in his tackle box tend to get rusty.  He might just see one of these in his future.

This is a Spyderco Cricket.  Another small knife, great for discrete carry and women love this size folder.  This happens to be a Cabon Fiber version that only sold in Japan.  I have seen quite a few Serrated Edged versions of this knife but never seen a Plain Edge so this will be going in my display case

    I have a cheap-ass Gerber Gator that I bought in high school that works great for gutting deer, but yea, I would like to get my paws on a one piece model... or two ;-)
    Cleaning off blood in a fold-up isn't the funnest.

    Cool beans though, nice knives Ian. :-P
