Been playing a bit recently, and finally managed to get some pictures. I'm going to take a nap - I'll come back in and fill the extra space with words later " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " In the meantime, I know that pictures are important; so I'll post those.

Can't wait to see your reviews. Have you chopped them against each other yet? A chop-off?

That's the ZT Rat Bastard that I made a post about not too long ago. The other one is Bark River's Bravo III (or is it just 3?) I was tempted to let the Barkie sit & stay pretty, since it's a first production run; but with reports of some edge chipping issues with their CPM-3V, I figured I should at least test it. I really am going to try to get some sleep before work - more words will come tomorrow or Friday.

Yeah. I actually looked closer at a few pictures and noticed the prominent ZT cutout, hahaha.

Neat blades, not my thing, personally...but neat.

That Rat Bastard is very drool worthy.

I got yours right here, Random Gray Wolf Knives M7 (top, in 52100) and M4 (in 01) Glad you admitted to that, lol - through the mighty power of the backspace, I was able to obtain a screenshot. (Yeah, I know - sleep. I decided I needed a snack first) Attachments:

He just redid his site all new models (some might just be renamed) and (higher) prices.

I don't know what you guys are talking about. That Rat Bastard is a great looking piece of steel. It's been on my list since they introduced it. Seriously considering trying to put together the whole ZT dadao daisho.

I did take the Bark River Bravo III & the Zombie Tools Rat Bastard out for some comparison chopping...but I haven't had much time to process the pictures, type up my thoughts, or do a formal review. BUT Some of you might remember that I placed an order a few months ago, for a piece I'd been wanting for a year or so. It arrived today (it tried to get here yesterday; but I had to leave for a meeting, and missed it by 10 minutes) I grabbed the Bravo III and Rat Bastard for a quick comparison shot before doing a weigh in. Bark River Bravo III......25.25 oz ZT Rat Bastard...........37.05 oz MBB M10..................52.3 oz (the weight of the other two combined is 62.3 oz, lol) I'm sure some will squawk about the weight...but it's everything I'd hoped it would be. (It's not something I'd plan on swinging for a long day of work, obviously - that's what machetes are for) Attachments:

Decided a family photo was in order - with the brothers from my signature (sorry about the glare - I don't have time right now to redo it...I'll replace it later) Attachments:

Dayummm! I LOVE the grip on that MBB! Hey, at ~1500g (I'm thinking of all blades in metric now, sorry) it shouldn't be too awful. You'd better get some serious chunks of wood to test that bad boy ...
