For a compact choice in survival or tactical knives, the little RC-4 by Rat Cutlery (now Esee Knives) is a good play. Upsides include: superb tan epoxy finish, grippy and well-formed micarta handles, great blade shape, outstanding full flat grinding, 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 some wilderness tasks. Downsides would include: much higher prices than some other similar, in-category knives (BM CSK II, Cold Steel SRK, Spyderco Fred Perrin, SOG Government Agent [discontinued sadly], Ontario RAT-3), velcro on some sheath models, and thicker blade gives it more weight than is 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. Sheath retention strap on the plastic/ballistic nylon version should be upgraded with a snap. The blade shape would be equally at home here as well as EDC and overall utility use. Overall it is a super strong, good looking performer that might cost more than some other options but will bring great pride of ownership./////////////////Nutnfancy Likability Scale: 8.5 out of 10 (price considered, needs better sheath )
