The Rat-3 is a good piece of kit at an affordable price. Eric Rice has one and I love it. I would like to have one for myself.

My wife has a RAT-3 and its been a good knife.

If you want something a little better Swamp Rat is taking orders for their new 3.5" fixed blade. Information can be found here

I ordered one last week. I can't say how long it will take for delivery tough. Be forwarned they do not come with a sheath.

I'll be wanting a sheath for mine. Looks like the RAT-3 D2 comes with one????

My addvice is to get it WITHOUT the serrations. If you need any help sharperning it let me know and I'll show you some tricks.

I'm pretty happy with my SOG seal pup. good medium size and has taken a beating. I've had it for about 3 years.
my .02

I have a seal pup also. Love it. It holds an edge well and has a real nice grip. I like the sheath also. Holds the knife real secure.
