Picked up this Sterile Old School Ratwelier, in pristine condition. I think I allready know the answer to this question, but should I leave it a safe queen investment, or beat it like the Rat that it is. What is the nature of Sterile knives, military overuns?

If you have a user of similar size and shape, save it. if not, use it!

I had the same question when I got my first mint unused Ratweiler, I used her and I love it

That thing is old unmarked and probably not worth much. In fact just so it doesn't deminish the value of your other blades you can send it to me and I will properly dispose of it for you.

you are so helpful to other dogs. It brings a tear to my eye..... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I voted use it.
I don't know if you have had a Ratweiler before or not but it is a great knife in use.
The handle is great for chopping and the blade size and weight aren`t so much that it can`t be used for smaller tasks.
I think you will really enjoy using it!!!!
Regardless of your decision, congRATs!! It's a great score!!!!

I am in the same boat, the first swing is the hardest, once you break the ice you will smile like a little kid on Christmas, enjoy

Amen to that! ^ <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

First swing is the hardest, well put. Sounds like a old 90's song.
Good luck on your decision.
And confgrats on the score <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Use it! I have been having a hard time keeping knives around I don't use. Make it work for you.

It is a beaut!

Beat it like a red headed step child. That sucker is a work horse. Almost chops as well as my battle rat.

I voted to use it. Alternatively, sell the sterile and pick up one you aren't afraid to beat. I purposefully got a chopweiler that was stripped and patinaed so I wouldn't be afraid to beat that rat for all its worth. Still, the first whack was the hardest. I'm more and more of the mind that if I won't use it, I shouldn't have it.
