For a compact choice in survival or tactical knives, the little RC-4 by Rat Cutlery is a good play. Upsides include: superb tan epoxy finish, grippy and well-formed micarta handles, great blade shape, excellent Kydex sheath with MOLLE attachments, and good jimping on spine. Given its length limitations, the RC-4 could still do a commendable job in wilderness tasks. Downsides would include: higher prices than some other similar, in-category knives (BM CSK II, Cold Steel SRK, Spyderco Fred Perrin, SOG Government Agent [discontinued sadly]) and thicker blade gives it more weight than might be necessary for the POU. And RC does indeed market this as a tactical blade for soldiers judging from its MOLLE-capable sheath and the included instructions. The blade shape would be equally at home here as well as EDC and overall utility use. Overall it is a good albeit over-priced option for these roles.

@langdon04 well …
@langdon04 well considering he is ex military, camps, and is doing a review for anyone who may be carrying this knife,( someone in the military) who may need the knife in a situation where stabbing may be necessary, I believe that it is perfectly appropriate to say that this knife may be used to stab someone or something.

that is a nice knife!
the handle is …
the handle is alittle too small for someone with big hands. it feels like it will slip out. the finger choil is too small. i cut my finger feathering a stick. i had to remove part of the edge so that wouldnt happen again… overall its too expensive for what you get… the grip for the thumb on top (for lack of the name) should go to at least to the first rivet…

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for the viewing of hot babes (1:35), however when it comes to knives, I’d rather see a Spec-ops type dude using it. I guess it’s 2nd type of cool though, lol. Sweet review as always.

Nutn, you should get a contract with a knife company and make a knife line, thats literally THEE PERFECT KNIFE for you, for each of your POUs, like a Knife that you would consider perfect for EDC, then one you would consider perfect for Survival, and Tactical roles, and so forth, that would be AMAZING.

I think this knife …
I think this knife was really more intended for survival than tactical applications. Just the overall design doesn’t radiate “tactical.” I’m gettin’ one for hunting/camping/survival, I’ve got better knives for self-defense.
