I've seen them on the blade forums exchange.. They look like cool knives.. Almost bought one at one point, but passed on it for the YKLE...

I like them, they look great, but the top edge dosen't let you baton vey well, I assume. also you can chopw up on the handel with your thumb along the spine of the blade, which is what I always do with my Gen 2 Howling Rat.

Cool looking knife but I am not a serreated type of guy. The top serriations definately don't so it for me.

Cool looking knife but I am not a serreated type of guy. The top serriations definately don't so it for me. Same here - I don't get the purpose of those things at all. They don't even seem like USEFUL serrations, like on a spyderco type knife. Are they purely cosmetic, or do they serve some purpose that I'm missing? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Besides loving the looks, it was the first Swamp Rat (or Bussekin) I ever saw after researching good knives. Saw a you tube video of a guy throwing it.
I want one some day and love my HR-great knife!
