Got me a RAT or two!

[roar-k]

After reading so much about RAT Cutlery and their knives over the past few months I decided to purchase my first RAT. I got an OD Izula two weeks ago.

Soon as I received the Izula and took it out of the plastic I knew I was in love. I was completely helpless to the call. I immediately had to wrap it like I have seen others do. And after I wrapped the Izula I had to wrap the sheath as well! For the past two weeks I have worn this baby everywhere and every way I could think. I have had it around my neck, in my pockets, on my belt, and even in my EDC bag.

I thought so much of the Izula I had to purchase a RC-4! I got my RC-4 a few days ago, and tonight after work I am going to put both through their paces.

Pictures sure to follow!

I love my Izula, got the wife one in tactical pink!

I was looking for an Izula at a gun show - no joy. Ended up with a Becker Necker (BK-11). Love it. I'll probably pick up an Izula when I run across one that I can haggle over. The only RAT I've got is the RC-5 - no complaints at all.

Here we go ladies and gentleman:

And how the Orange Paracord is a lifesaver:

And yes I know it's not some of the cleanest batoning done, but I tried.

[crashdive123]

Nice looking knives. I like the orange scales and wrap. You won't be losing those when you set them down.

[panch0]

Very nice. I owned both but sold them to purchase a drill press and a grinder. They are both awesome knives and I really regret selling them Tough as heck.

[Mountain Man]

Good buys!

I love my Rat-7 and the RTAK isnt bad either.

[SARKY]

I have an RTAK but i prefer the Kershaw outlander D-5 .

Awesome knife! I can see you have a few character marks as well. :) My fiance wants an Izula, she thinks they are so cute. So I am looking at getting her a tactical pink Izula. She also wants a better blade for backpacking so I am thinking about getting her a RC-3.

Hopefully after she gets those I can talk her into letting me get a RC-6 or save up for RC-10!

Is that the Ontario Ranger Little Bird?

[sh4d0wm4573ri7]

Yes it certainly is I like it and the Becker an Izula rock I have them all:http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee202/sh4d0wm4573ri7/007-2.jpg

[roar-k]

Haha nice! I thought about getting the Little Bird as well, but didn't know how it would handle the beating I would put it through.

[sh4d0wm4573ri7]

for a small blade it is stout limited in its uses but of course I had to have it

[tonester]

i really like that style of paracord wrapping you have on your izula sh4d0wm4573ri7

[sh4d0wm4573ri7]

Thanks I really liked it myself uses lil more cord then the standard wrap so I have more in case of emergency, of course my boot laces are 550 too and I wrap most my knives and tools just to have plenty when needed.
