I was really looking forward to the RODENT 4, but for some reason, that seems bigger than I had hoped for. The specs don't list a thickness...any ideas? I was really hoping it would be a 4" blade, and about the same size as a Boss Street. Just looking at the picture, and scaling it in my mind...I'm thinking it's closer to a SAR 4 than a Boss Street. EDIT: Pic from Swamp. ![[Linked Image from swampratknifeworks.com]](http://www.swampratknifeworks.com/store/media/rodent_411_sm.jpg) Ish the specs say 1/4 thick.

Thank you! The front page specs were not up when I was looking earlier....only the order page (which still doesn't have thickness listed). Heck of a knife....think .25 may kill it for me though. Need to think this through a bit more.

Hmmm....I like the blade geometry better on the Rodent 4 more so than the HRLM. The HRLM gets zero use as is...maybe the Rodent 4 would <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Dan and Eric releasing blades the same time? Competition between theses two is going to hurt some wallets.

Just ordered the RMD LE. Was feeling heartburn about the 311 but since it has the basic handle. I'm just not sure. Althought basic handle definitely helped me decide to get a Rodent 4. Maybe only one 311

I saw those going through the shop and I am pretty sure they were close to 3/16" thick When that team gets in I will ask them to check it for you guys Dan

uggh- I would love to know! This morning I emailed asking to squash my order thinking it's 1/4"! Hard to see from the angle of the photo, but doesn't seem 1/4 to me... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> Hope it's 3/16, this is one of the new releases I was waiting on! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />
