Swamp Rat Knife Works Ratweiler

You don't need hi speed steels with fancy lines and finishes if you want a true working knife. This steel is 52100 with the cryogenic heat treat and an 8 inch blade.

It will shave hair when I touch it up and tear down an old dried out shed about 6 feet tall. (I am not kidding on that last part.)

If you become a true user you will learn to take care of your tools, but not worry about things like the finish and small specks of rust. Those things are called character. If you have to have a safe queen then buy two of each until you decide what you want.
