Chaos - You got the word directly from "The Man"! I will echo what others have already said concerning the knives in question. I have The Rat7 in D2 AND 1095, and they are decent knives for the money - I LOVE the blade shape/taper/point of the Rat7. However, the Scrapper6 is much more strongly built and better suited for splitting a deer pelvis, etc. as you are interested in doing. Though I like both knives, I would strongly recommend Scrap Yard Knives - the BEST choice for performance, price, and warranty if EVER needed!
