haha ok...so I guess if I get into ordering the Ratweiler...I might as well get a Rodent 6...I like the look but I will just use it for outdoor tasks...no fighting in sight...
have you used it outdoors?

Made the mistake of trading my Ratweiler off a few years ago, now finally I'm able to replace her.
Got my order in for a shiny new 1/4" muddy blade with tan grips. Can't wait to have it in hand.

Guys, this is a chance to score a great knife if you don't already have one, and at a GREAT price!

I'm tempted but going to pass. I have a Survive 7/7 on order...and if I didn't have my Battle Rat, I would be all over one of these.

Cool! I hope to see a 7/7 review over at BF...I have some Battle Grades on order and some TRASH1 so I am kinda of tapped out...and to be honest I am focusing more on EDC-able blades right now so if Dan wants to release the Mud Puppy I would by a few

The Muppy is GREAT!

MANY years ago someone (I have NEVER found out who) bought one with my JYD number on it and had the owner send it to me. The generosity of the Dogs here NEVER cease to amaze me. GREAT bunch of folks!

If I can just understand why people are opting for the 3/16" I will order one also. It just doesn't seem like a subtle blade.

Way back in the dark ages of the Busse Combat Trilogy the Ratweiler came out. YEARS later the Chopweiler came to be. About the only difference (That I can remember) is the handle shape.

OK, the original (I THINK) was 3/16 inch thick, and with the Pixy Dust infused Heat Treat was an unparalleled blade for it's time (both actually). I do not remember of ever hearing of a failure, and believe my they WERE abused! Many folks (Me included) prefer a lighter blade for belt carry. The 3/16 inch width provides some weight saving over the thicker 1/4 inch version, AND being lighter does allow for some "Speed" in the cut, many saying the speed overcomes the weight difference.

True or not, the lighter version WILL be easier to carry over the long haul. If you are not worried about the weight then the 1/4 inch version will just give you that extra bit of confidence in being an almost indestructible blade. AND with the "Kin" warranty, ANY warrantied Busse Kin blade is a no brainer.

For what its worth, I would get the 3/16 inch version and would never look back.

Hope this helps you out Dog.

Anything you have to offer is usually pretty helpful Mr. Skunk, thank you.

Haha Thank you Sir. Since I am in the "Groove" here is another tidbit gleaned from my VAST years of knowing stuff.

Listening to Pink Floyd's Dark side of the Moon while TRYING to QC warrants is NOT a good idea. I think I flashed back to my Senior HS and 2 years of "Higher" learning, and forgot several times what I was doing. Haha, Just saying.

Bottom line, IF you have the funds and don't get one, you may find yourself later on cruising the exchange for one.
