Only keeping one, help me pick!

Esee6 vs Swamp Rat "Custom Shop" RMD Bowie

Tell me why I should choose one over the other, Im not keeping both. Which ever one I keep will get used....

 

[drbarnes]

keep the rmd, better steel, better edge retention, better handle and... its cooler

 

[usmcdjb]

I have both, and would let the ESEE go before the RMD.

 

[jd4320t]

Rat.

 

[40calPUNISHER]

The RMD is kinda rare isnt it? Shouldnt I not use it to keep it nice and new...? Do used knives hold thier value or lose value?

 

[jd4320t]

I'm new but I can tell you Busse kin hold their value no matter what.

Ahh! Use it! Get your money's worth, once you do you will realize you don't want to get rid of it!

Keep the ratmandu!

 

[tradertator]

Keep the RMD. I'm a huge ESEE fan, but the Bussekin stuff has more sole.

This is a real question? Keep the RMD.

As for being rare, well, with the pumpkin, there's only 3 or 4 out there as far as I know.







That picture looks extremely familiar..........

 

[40calPUNISHER]

...cuz you took it. And yes, its your old one.

If theres only 3 or 4 I'd realllllly hate to use it. If I do use it, what would it do to the value?

 

[jbombelli]

I would keep the Ratmandu.

this!! Dave hit the nail on the head. I say use the heck out of it. that is what it was made for. it will effect the value some but not enough to worry about it. plus once you use it then you will see the real value in a good knife!

that being said the esee 6 is a great knife also. either will serve you well for sure.

I think KalEl (bladeforums) has one, it's a user.

Grunt's dad if I remember has or had one. It's like-son-like-father over there so that one is collecting dust in the safe, I grabbed one, and if there's a 4th I'm not sure where it wound up.

 

[PointFiveO]

Keep the RMD.

 

[bobbystoney]

I'd keep the RMD fer sure. The 6 is a great blade but it can easily be replaced.

 

[tom1025]

I would keep both. But the ESEE would be gone if I had to choose only one.

 

[MadBomber]

Keep the Rat so I can try and snipe the ESEE from the classifieds
