The legendary Ka-Bar was basically a large hunting knife in the Bowie style that was already in civilian use before the Marines adopted it. The knives were used for a lot more than just fighting, but they worked well for that, too. I see the Ratmandeux as that type of knife, but a bit smaller and a lot tougher.
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

Well said, and much more polite than my comment. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" />

I've also been considering letting my TTReg go because the guard gets in my way a little, but I probably won't.

It feels like I'm never going to make JYD! I might have to obtain one of Rainwalker's fine creations for my RMDxLE <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

I feel the same way about the whole JYD thing. Guess we'll make it sooner or later, probably later.

It feels like I'm never going to make JYD! The first thousand are tough, after that the posts add up MUCH easier.

Great, this thing's growing on me. I was sitting outside smoking a cheap cigar and I was just thinking how just a couple of little mods would make it ideal for me. I might pick one up and hang onto it to see if a combat grade version comes out. I'll just chop that top guard off and dura coat it.
I'll have to sleep on it.
