Like the title sez. Which do you like the most? Choppers? EDC? Around Camp? I only have the RatManDu coming my way, should be here Friday. I would like to get some more, but would like to whittle it down to only a few.

I like the Bandicoot for most everyday chores. This knife was not all that popular however. The Howling Rat was quite popular, but I never ordered one and just use the HRLM (the micarta version) of this knife now. I wish I had ordered an original Howling Rat since they were $88. I favor smaller knives that I can carry everyday on my belt concealed. In terms of feel though, the RatMandu is probably one of my Swamp Rat favorite blades next to the Bandicoot.

My favorite swamprat is my LE Satin Battle Rat, with tan handle. Second favorite? Probably the HR my Brother got me for Christmas a few years back. Third? Tie between the rat trap, and the chopweiler. The chopweiler, with it's Rainwalker sheath, simply rocks.

I really like the bandicoots. And the battle rat is top shelf.

Hey shaolin,
I'm a newbie too and like you got my start with the Ratmandu (you are going to love it!). I next ordered a camp tramp and it is incredible. Next up...that's a question. In some ways I would love to have a howling rat, but am tempted by a RC-3 for something a little smaller/more discreet for daily carry. There is a sweet looking HR on bladeforums that makes me want to hide my credit card. I also did buy a Scrap Yard Yard Guard but just sold b/c I felt like Camp Tramp is better for me and the prices were so close.
That knife above looks awesome- no idea what is though!
