From what I've gathered, there have been some bad heat treat batches come through Ontario, which I think is why they've gone to their own production via RAT Cutlery. I'm a huge RAT fan though - I've got 5 now, with a 6th on the way.

I have a thread here w/ pics of my new RAT RC3 from a couple days ago, and I posted a picture on the 2nd page of the RTAK II and that pine log - its a cool picture, check it out if you get a chance. Here's the url:

Anyways, thanks for the response - I know that Horn Dog here uses his RTAK and RTAK II a lot as well with no issues. Mine has seen some abuse as well. And, I was just curious as to your experience w/ yours.

Yeah, the worst damage mine has sustained was when I swung through a branch straight into a rock. This dented an 1" sections of the edge pretty bad, and I've yet to restore it quite to it's original sharpness in this section. The rest takes a really sharp edge and holds it pretty well. That story about the 9" frozen log sounds like a good time, I've yet to go though something that size. I typically carry mine on my left size, with a primary knife on my right. how about you?

Have you hugged your camp knife today?
