Are these some something new with the RAT 1? Yur description says they have G10 handles. All other and previouse RAT 1's do not come with G10 handles

The two RAT 1 's that I have do not have G10 handles. But they fill like G10 handles only smoother. Sorry if I said G10
1867027
I wish they did have G-10 handles. The only negative point about the Rat 1 and Rat 2 is the cheap plastic grips. The blade sharpness, centering, and the knife construction in general are outstanding for the price.
1867028
It is most likely a FRN Nylon scale rather than G-10. Description mistakes happen. You will find it slightly more "slick" than a G-10 scale.
1867029
They aren't "some cheap plastic". They're FRN, which is the second best synthetic scale material next to G-10.

These don't either; it's an error in the description. The only way to get a G-10 handle for this knife is to make a custom one.

They are not g10. They have the same handle materials as the standard black handled rat1. They are tough handles but feel just like plastic. You can go to the web site and read about it.

I went searching, the best looking I found to this mouse, looks like a brown house spider? the one in the pic I saw seemed to have the same bulbus body shape and leg stance what throws me is the V shape head that runs into the back or midsection mainbody, anywho works great still freaks everybody out, Goal Achieved

Yes, the Micarta handles are about the same thickness as the Zytel handels. I also ordered some G10 handles from www.theknifeconnection.com for $59.95. These G10 handles are definitely slimmer, but not too thin (in my opinion). I wear size Large Mechanix Wear gloves if that helps for a size reference. I hope this answer helped.

I have no expirence with Spyderco products, always seem to me tip would easily break as the are rather "pointy"I have both large and small Rat Folders, the large is in a sheath on my 511 tac bag, the small I carry in a pocket and rotate it out with a Benchmade auto. I got turned onto AUS8A steel several years ago by Jeff Randall the designer of the Rat series. I think I have one fixed blade and three liner locks make in that steel. All my blades are standard edge. For me sereations don't work anymore. When I was a Firefighter/Paramedic partially sereated was ok, but still carried plain edge most of the time. The decision is yours, decide the use in the long term...RegardsR.StegerKy I have no expirence with Spyderco products, always seem to me tip would easily break as the are rather "pointy"I have both large and small Rat Folders, the large is in a sheath on my 511 tac bag, the small I carry in a pocket and rotate it out with a Benchmade auto.

The one that I received was the old style, flat/smooth bottom, no handles. I do not know what they are shipping these data because everywhere you look it is the newer style.

For recently made Rats, the bottom of the box it came in should have a sticker saying Made in China. They're very well made and very reliable. ProCo just assembles them in China and they're shipped back to Missouri. There were US made ones for years and the only difference you have to think about is the jack for the optional external power supply is different than the US made Rat, so make sure you buy the right one. The parts are almost all the same, although the Rat has been a work in progress since the 1970s.

Anyone have ANY luck at all getting spare batteries? I'm ready to buy a new one - just to swap the batteries out and then return it with my old batteries... Seems like alot of effort to go through, since these idiots don't reply to my e-mails. But I love the mouse, so buyer beware, you're on your own.UPDATE: on 11/22/2011 - I FINALLY received an e-mail from Saitek (took 6-weeks!). They do NOT offer spare batteries, and have no suggestion for me what to do with a mouse that has batteries that doesn't hold a charge. wow..

Hi, I only saw your reply today hence the late reply. Maybe it's just me but the G500 is too bulky and the build quality is lower than the G5 in my opinion, for example when you click the mouse button it feels slightly loose on the G500. In my opinion, the G500 is not the mouse to upgrade to. I'm not sure which mouse to go to tbh. Right now I using the G5 again and the G500 is in the drawer.

It's not real g10. They are nice handles and this is a fantastic knife, but no g10 handles.

I only received a green band... Weird. I haven't found any that compare. Mine broke and I bought a set from tjmaxx but they were terrible Now I just use these rubber flex bands I got from a Pilates class. They don't have handles but I like that better.

Well I didn't even get the cage that's pictured. I'm sure the one they sent me is a little bigger. It's pretty big, even for my two rats. You may want to try finding something a little smaller, unless you want a huge cage.

Because Logitech hasn't made this mouse in almost 6 years, and it's an AMAZINGLY popular mouse. Also are you certain the one you saw in the store was a G5 and not the new G500?

Looking at the listings, the ones with designs on them are completely different mousepads. They aren't made by belkin, and are flat. The listings being combined as color options of the same product appears to be some kind of amazon mistake.

has anyone seen one of the g10's with just minor damage to the housing ever posted. or is it always major damage on housing or minor and small damage to both?

The handle these blades do NOT fit, came out years after these pinking blades became available. The question should be, why would Olfa produce a new handle that only uses certain blades and not all the blades like the older handles do???
