A couple folks wanted to better understand the differences between the Dumpster Mutt and Howling Rat. I have a pretty crummy camera but I took a few photos for comparison.
The overall length of the two knives is close with the Mutt just slightly longer by 3/8 inch. The HRLM has a 4" blade but a relatively long handle. The Mutt has a 5" blade and somewhat shorter handle. The Mutt is slightly heavier than the HRLM.

The Dumpster Mutt is a fatty in comparison to the HRLM with a blade thickness of .285" versus the HRLM's .187" blade thickness.

I hope this helps folks understand a little better how the HRLM is different from the Dumpster Mutt.
