SwampRat you won’t sell

That M6 was on my hip all day today, just as it has been every weekend since I got it. What a great knife.

That mircata gets nicer with more use. It's beautiful..

I liked SAR 3, but traded it for Muck a long time ago (that was my first ever Busse).
As for R3 being light…

I want a Ratmandu without scales. Call it a Flatmandu.

Still waiting for the M7

Mega Ratweiler and Mega Swamp Warden.
It would be very hard to part with those two....

Still waiting for the M7

As long as we’re wishing, I’d like an M5 too - little compact brute. Would rock the house in the same proportions but 1/8” stock!

They already made the M7 prototype, it was posted on the old Swamp Shack website. They made one! Make more
A slicey M5 would be sweet as well though

Not difficult.

I have a spare sabre Ratmandu, if you like ....

Thanks for the offer, Iron Rider! Might take you up on it someday. I suppose I should have been a little more specific. I was thinking more along the lines of the Mega Swamp Warden, with rounded edges for comfortable handling. An “If they mated” type scenario, straight from the Swamp. I know there was a Mega RMD, but I’ve never seen one without handles. I’m assuming it would look similar to your pic. As it stands, I don’t think I’ll “descale” my FHFG.

Hey! Quit jabbering in my thread and post some damn pics! I got a like from Mr. Busse himself, I’m pretty big potatoes.

 

[vltor17]

Just kidding fellers, love the banter. Would like to see more pics of dang nice rats. Or any kin, for that matter.

Uhh. Yeah. That one right there. Gorgeous knife. What steel?

vltor17 its SR-101. Custom shop Trailing Point. I had the small guard and elf choil removed, and a larger choil added. Blended full flat grind to convex edge. It also has white liners under the official Swamp Rat colored G10. One of the last orders before the Busse custom shops closed down to actual custom, one-off orders.
