Does anypne have a pic of the hrlm with the s5 and/or the AD?

Im seriously thinking about getting some rat wardens be good for whittling near the camp fire.

I just sent off my pre order for a RMD and a HRLM. So now its a waiting game.

S5 and RMD ala Horn Dog

The Al Mar SERE, SOG Team Leader, and Swamp Rat Ratmandu are very close in size. All have 3/16" thick blades. All but the Scrapper have full tangs with scales attached. The SOG has Zytel scales, the Al Mar uses Nylon, and the Swamp Rat has micarta scales. The SOG uses the new expensive 20CV Duratec stainless, the Al Mar uses S30V, and the Ratmandu, like the S5 has modified 52-100 or SR101 steel.
