ANyone ever seen or own one of these blades? They look like a prison shank from what I have seen. IO am interested in buying one and was wanting some feedback..


yea HD, its made of your favorite steel - SR101... oh but i just hope its thick enough for me and tough enough <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I don't think the rat tail is particularly thick. I seem to remember a thread on BF where someone hammered it into a cement block and then kicked it, and it broke. Not really surprising, given the thinness of the blade and lack of width. A big thick blade in that weird package would be even sillier than some of the ultra-thick Busse EDC size blades.


Of course, it was replaced by the Busse crew, so it's all good <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Looks sweet from what I can see.

I think it's called the Rat TRAIL though..

The Rattail makes a very nice EDC,easy to conceal small but very strong.

I had one. I bought it off a seller at the 1500 for $100 with the sheath. I didn't really care for it, it didn't fit my hand that well, so I sold it. Here's pics of mine:
