hey guys just finished my review of my Rodent solution
Swamp Rat knife works
Rodent solution
Specs:
Overall Length: 8 1/8"
Blade Length: 3 1/2"
Thickness: 3/16"
Blade Width: 1.10"
Steel: SR101 / 58-60 Rc
Review:
The swamp rat rodent solution is basically swamp rat version of the very popular ESEE 3. both of the knives are used in the same role by most people: EDC and camping/bushcraft chores.
in these tasks they preform quite well and when i used it no hot spots developed.
EDC: while the knife is a bit long in my taste for horizontal front carry because the handle sticks out a bit too much and people can see it. but for IWB carry it works great it very concealable and comfortable in that configuration. if you are in a area that are more sensitive to these types of tools the RS is a small knife and should not make people freak out. but use proper judgement when taking out your knife.
Camping/bushcrafting: the RS is excellent at feathering wood for a fire and other cutting tasks for firemaking and shaving the bark off for making a bow or making a spear. i also used it for food prep and while i got some odd looks from my buddys it worked in that role very well.
Sheath: if you are new to the bussekin world you will soon find out that the knives do not come with a sheath. while this might annoy some people it is really not a problem because with a bit of research you will find many high quality sheath makers that can make you a custom sheath for an excellent price.
here is my RS
and here are some pics of the reg. RS
what do yall guys think of the review?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas
