My old man gave me this knife over the weekend and i was just wondering what it was, who made it ect.
It has no markings that i can see.
seems to be very well made..nice texturing to the blade coating and the sheath is pretty nice with leather over a kydex center.


any idea's ?

I believe you are correct, googled swamp rat howling rat and the howling rat/little mischief looks identical to it.
love the sheath, wish I knew who made it or maybe it came with it ? Im not up to speed on the larger fix blade makers
thanks for the help

Its junk, send it to me and i will properly dispose of it for you.



Definitely a Howling Rat. Nice knife and that scout sheath is pretty sweet too. I have no idea who made the sheath, but it definitely didnt come with the knife from Swamp Rat.

The sheath is made by Martin Swinkels in the Netherlands.

They may be the best sheaths on the planet.

Thank you for the info.
I checked him out and it does appear to be one of his sheaths as he has several
other sheaths made for other knives that look identical to the one i have.
Its a quality peice for sure.
