Description
The Rat Blade from headhunterblades.com, became one of the premier blades in the training industry shortly after coming out in 2014.  The Rat, as it was when it first came out, was hand made and exclusively available only to MIL/LE.  Per their website "The Rat was designed by Harley Elmore, Tuhon in Sayoc Kali and Full Instructor under Dan Inosanto.  It was designed and created after years of working with the highest level of Military Operators and is the result of their direct feedback and Tuhon Harley's lifetime of training.  The Rat is specifically designed for ease of carrying, concealment, and deployment.  The length lets the user achieve the thrusting depth needed to reach deep arteries and internal organs.  The width allows for the blade to fit into tight openings in the bone.  The narrow spear-like point configuration is designed for maximum penetration through web gear and clothing.  The unique finger choil allows for quick, dexterous changes in direction and prevents riding up onto blade’s edge"  I believe I purchased my first Rat blade sometime in late 2015? Then I got a contoured handle version.

VDMSR, do you own all the knives you post?  You have some cool blades in the knife picture thread.  It was because of your photos of the AMTAC Northman that I looked into them and bought one.  I spend too much money on knives as it is and this thread isn't helping me save money lol.
