Sounds pretty sweet. G10 is a very nice handle material for a smaller knife.
For big ones I am all about the S7 and RES C but for a smaller blade SR101 and G10 especially black g10 have some advantages. I believe .170 is nice and thin?
If it is a G10 SR101 satin version of the YKCG I am so there. I am willing to give up some toughness for edge retention in a small knife and RES C is not as attractive as G10 and you don't need the shock absorption qualities as much either.

I don't really get the love for the Rat Trap. It is really just a Bladetech folder with SwampRat "Branding". Don't get me wrong it is a great folder but it does not have the things that make the Busse knives special(other than resale value <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />)
like the awesome tool steel and wicked heat treat. I would be happier with the BladeTech Rijbak.

Wouldn't a G10 satin version of the YK be a HRLM LE? One of mine is satin now, but has micarta handles. As for the Rat Trap, I am quite pleased with mine so far. Nice big blade but carries flat and slim.

Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.
