Too short, to wide, to expensive. TAK has name because hear " tak - tak " in sheat. Blades has intend on his beginning for " better " grip ( for blade, of course) and when you cut rope and cloth to easy hitch. Sheats have many positions to lose knife, not a single one useful. Real battle/kitchen ready knife.
 
I'm trying to figure this out. Do you mean Sheath, and what was it too wide for, and too expense as compared to what? When did you use the knife, in what situations. I am interested as well in the retention issues you have had ( I think).
 
The poster in question is a troll. In my honest opinion his word is not to be trusted.

That being said, the reason why RAT split from Ontario in the first place was that Ontario refused to upgrade the line as RAT wanted.

Yes i mean Sheat, how did you guess?. Well, buy yourself one to see is it too expensive. RAT 3 blade and whole knife is too short , blade is to wide and Sheath has purpose to lose your knife ( and Sheath ). I try to cut ropes, cloth, food, pieces of wood..., TAK has too short blade and both knives has useless indent on blade who can be very dangerous. And something else, steel is too hard for outdoor use and isn't stainless.

You can't upgrade something that isn't properly made from beginning. You don't trust me? Money in a pocket and go to the store. You don't trust me but you will remember me.
 
I have a TAK and love it. Tough Knife and not that bad in price. Sheath is a little weak, but if you attach it to your day pack it works fine. I have battoned with mine, sliced rope with ease, and made curl sticks for a fire with no need to resharpen afterwards. RAT makes very tough knives, and has many followers to prove it. Spend more time in the woods and less time in your kitchen and in front of your computer. You have no idea what you are talking about. We all see through the shady review and poor typing.

You have just confirmed your lack of understanding of both steels and their use in the outdoors, and undermined any credibility you had hoped to establish. Think twice, speak once :rolleyes:
 
It's obvious that the OP has no clue what he's talking about, and has only ever posted negative comments about well-known and well-liked pieces of cutlery. Even if his opinion is serious the vast majority of the cutlery community disagrees with him and any attempts to change his mind have been responded to with derogatory and childish comments. I highly advise that we not feed the troll, as amusing as it is to see him try to say anything meaningful. IMHO he has nothing to say, so we should say nothing.
 
I asked you some honest questions. You answered them, solidified my opinion of you, and clearly have zero experience with either knife, or with real world knife use. I do own a RAT3, which has been used in the real world, under a number of circumstances in a number of environments. If you are not here to learn and pass along real experience take a walk.

As a former butcher and trapline runner who loves and uses the RC-3 for all kinds of bushcraft and field dressing duties, I have MANY issues with his thread, here is just one.
The useless indent is called a choil to those qualified to operate sharp tools and the fact that you said you "try to cut." ( hooked on phonic's might help)
Reminds me of something my dad always said ........
"TRYING IS THE CALLING CARD OF THE LOSER, JUST GET IT DONE"
 
Good Evening Gentlemen! I respect your opinions but did you respect mine? My experience with these two knives is just like that.
