$180 is a very good deal for an SS4; I've been seen them go for over $200 lately. I love my INFIcoots, but they've been getting close to $300, so I don't know that I'll acquire any more, especially if a new Bandicoot is scheduled for release

I saw a picture on one of the boards that was supposed to be a Gen 2 Bandicoot prototype. It looked more like a HRLM to me, so I hope that they were wrong. Not that there's anything wrong with the HRLM or that they shouldn't make more of them, but I think that if you use the same model name as a prior release, then the new knife should strongly resemble the original. I'm not against minor design improvements, but it shouldn't look entirely different.
