I'm with Elof concerning the R5 vs R4 handle. While I am a huge fan of the R4 handle, I don't care much for the R5 handle without the contours. I really think it needed some contouring, it just didn't feel right to me like the R4. If only I could get a choilless 5.5" blade on the Rodent 4 handle, that would be heaven......

I like the mudders! But I think the choil is to big for the knife. Yeah with that handle/guard there is no need for a choil at all.

Personally I like a big choil only if it's big enough to accept my index finger. If it is not big enough, then smaller is better, if that makes sense. The choil on the 411 id barely big enough, a real tight fit for my finger.
BTW
I just emailed Renee about the order page and timeline availability for the 411.
I'm sure she gets plenty of those daily, but I have to ask.

44Fred, I took a dremel tool to my Wardog and made the choil on it just about 1/8 inch longer. Works like a champ for my finger now.

Renee emailed me back pretty quick.
All is well in the yard. The order page will hopefully within the week.

411 for me.... I just can't get along with the funky R series bumped handles....my bank account is VERY grateful for this....!!! Godson No2 is VERY fond of his 411 and it has now skinned pleanty of critters (a fox, a deer and a cat in the last couple of weeks) now as well..I suspect i will have "upgrade" his sister's Izula for her soon as well....

Would that be a house cat, Andy? I thought they only ate those in Asia......

We've got a plague of feral cats in Oz... And goats, foxes (well they're not domestic critters, but introduced species anyway), rabbits, camels, horses, pigs...
