Here are the measurements I took of these knives:

In order, the measurements are: Weight, Blade Thickness, Blade Length, & Handle Thickness.

Busse Meaner 7.00, .200, 4 1/8, .705
Busse AD 6.35, .198, 3 1/2, .607
Busse GW 5.75, .200, 3 1/2, .701
SY SS4 5.45, .200, 4 3/16, .808
Dozier Agent 5.10, .150, 3 1/4, .606
Dozier NY Special 4.90, .185, 3 3/8, .608
Ken Brock Combat Options 4.75, .172, 3 7/8, .508
Polkowski Bodyguard 4.55, .125, 3 3/4, .406
Dan Koster Karda 3 3.55, .166, 3 1/4, .502

Having gone through this exercize, I'm not sure of what's been accomplished. It would be tough to pick a favorite, though I have carried the Dan Koster Karda the most, because of its convenient size and great sheath design. The Combat Options is also a great carry because it just feels right and, again, the sheath design is great.

I haven't had the Infi long enough to form much of an opinion, but I think the SS4 is too thick in the handle area to be concealable. The others are pretty heavy for their size, but may carry well in a good sheath. I don't have sheaths yet for the Meaner, AD or GW but Rainwalker has my order. I have a hunch the AD may turn out to be a favorite. I guess I'll know more when I've had the chance to carry them awhile.

the software doesn't accept tabs. Try using the code tags. that might help!

Hey Terry - Looks like you have a connection out northwest... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

What are the dimensions (blade / oal / thickness) on the un-named Skelly Rat? Eric hasn't posted them yet that I have seen.

I don't generally care for the feel of skeleton frames in my hand, but this looks like one of the better ones (?????).

If I don't like the feel of the handle, maybe I can put a handle on it (?????).

Apparently, it was $59.00 at Blade West, but Eric will NOT reply to many peoples request to confirm the price ..... ???? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

$59.00 seems like a good price. Maybe somebody wanted to raise it (????).

It was supposed to be released to the Company Store after Blade West.....

I "HAD" some money set aside after Blade West... But......, Another No show! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> - ..... I couldn't hold my breath any longer. Bought two Barkies and my first Fenix Flashlight.


Now there is Knob Creek.
I am betting there will be Rat Skellys at Knob Creek.....

"MAYBE".... we will see some of the Skellys after Knob Creek <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

.... Unless something else comes along that gets prioritized over us again. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

Unless they made a lot more of those Ratweilers than shown in the "wall picture", I am not holding my breath for those any time soon.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

.... frustrating how this works around here.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" />

That's a nice looking Skelly Terry. Looks like a nice sheath too.

Here's an old photo of some of my EDCs. I've tried to keep it limited to 5" and under.

I've added a few knives since this was taken; Busse Sage Meaner, Koster Dankura, another Koster K_TUSK, Scrapyard Yard Keeper, SwampRat RatManDu.
