But Andy if the Swamp came out with that knife you would have to stop buying up every single Ash1 ever made!!!
Please do get one and review it Chiral!! Your reviews are always so excellent id love to see and hear what you think!! I seen one on the exchange recently that is probably still there... But at the price they costs these days i dont blame anyone for not being able to jump on them. They are worth the price even now IMO, but 300+ is a lot of money for me as well.
If someone sends me a user ratweiler and id be more than willing to do a video comparison.
I recently did a couple video reviews for the choppy and Busse hell razor, but i didnt do much hard chopping because the knife was not mine and looked brand new when i got it.

...... a novel concept you have imagined there mate, CLEARLY outsides the bounds of reality...but novel none the less....But Andy if the Swamp came out with that knife you would have to stop buying up every single Ash1 ever made!!!
The Howling Rat seems perfect for me. Don't own one but I know the size hits a sweet spot.
I really hope someone does send you a Ratweiler to compare in video :thumbup:
I remember this short thread from not so long ago: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/758297-Love-My-Chopweilers-But
Which includes these images:
.... yeah, that could happen... and I could also end up naked in a jaccuzi with three or four VS models.... it could happen as well....odds are probably about the same though....Oh and Andy you never know you may wake up one day and decide you know I don't like the ASH anymore and post all 5672 of yours in the exchange in the worlds largest ASH sell off.
Can I get the Swamp to make me an ASH1 ..???
The Ratweiler's handle looks weird and uncomfortable - until you actually use it. Then you see why they did what they did. I'm sure they went through countless prototype's until they got the final version.
This. In 2010 I carried a loaner Gen 1 Howling Rat for 400 miles of a 2600 mile hike. After the hike, I bought and sold a HRLM - it just wasn't the same.
Been scouring the forums and eBay for a user Gen 1 Howling Rat ever since. For me, it was nothing fancy but it was the perfect Swamp Rat at the right time.
HK, I'd veture a guess that the handle shape was not accidental, after all it stuck for a while...
I'd like to say something like 'nice group there' however my great jealousy prevents me..............
INFI Ratmandu. Shorten it an half an inch or an inch, and remove the choil.
