I like the Rat II they are a good carry for me…there is something to be said about a very thin D2 steel blade….

The one I posted is a Rat 1 in AUS-8 steel.. I got a NIB Rat 2 that I have never carried.. Bought it yrs ago for my son but he never took a shine to it..

The Rat II carries well but like I said^^^^^ up there they shine with the D2 I’ve not had Rat I they are still available the Aus8 should be easy to keep sharp…

Ya got me to go dig out my Rat II.. I see it is also AUS-8 steel.. Probably got it before D2 was available..

Funny…

Curiosity got me…they make the Rat II in both AUS8 and D2, the D2 is about $5 more….you would have thought they would have made different product number Rat II D2 and that sounds like little robot from Star Wars

Good looking 112 Rick, I don't currently own a 112, but I've been pondering on one.

Nice one Jamie. I've got a buddy that loves the RAt II for EDC. He has one with the D2 & Carbon Fiber handles.

Two fine choices!
I sold my stockyard whittler a few months back and regretted it immediately

Great looking knives gentlemen!

Really like that Case/Carhartt John! That's a real beauty!

I changed to these 4 today.
