So you would say it's plenty enough thick for throwing or thrusting into harder stuff in case of emergency?I always felt the 3/16 thickness of the "thinner" Busse/Swamp offerings would be still slightly overbuilt enough for most abuse scenarios,just after spotting the Mutt as a similar sized knife with such a thick blade I started thinking in the lines of ...maybe a bit extra wouldn't hurt.OK,cannot await the arrival of the ManDus)).Do they make good throwers?
Alex You shouldn't have a problem with thrustin it. Or stabbing for that matter. As far as throwing it I guess it throws alright. Personally I'm not a big fan of throwing them. However, I wanted to punish the RatManDu as much as possible. I don't think thickness will be a detriment to the knife. The 3/16ths is a good compromise in my opinion of cutting ability and overall toughness of the knife. You'll be pleased with them. jerry

hehe,yes the Jeep vs.CampTramp plot)),that's a nice one.Such things I had in mind thinking about if a bit thicker would be it.
On the other hand as you both say...fast slicer/pigsticker with an ideal lenght for such a knife+enough robustness,that's what I saw anyway in the RatManDu and what hooked me.
SHSJ-which one is that?A Busse model?Satin Jack some sort of?

I think Bruce means the 'Straight Handle Satin Jack' (but I could be wrong!). That model is a few years old now..

You could sure butcher a Jeep with a DF.. And given that Jeep UK won't import 'Freedom Drive 2' Patriot over here I may just bl**dy try it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
