I have been eagerly anticipating your review, and I was not disappointed! Great comparison, Jerry. I find the ratweiler handle a little more comfortable than the Ranger's in heavy chopping. It's a tough call overall. I like the way you used the knives in these different survival tasks. The 'Weiler is a great knife for the swamps of Georgia and Florida! Outstanding review. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
I agree, for some reason the weiler seemed to absorb more shock than the RD-7.
I think if Dan releases the Scrapper-7 and extends the tang past the grip a little bit that it could usurp the weiler.
