It is generally considered doubtful that the original coated Dumpster Mutt (DM for short) will be re-released. But, you never know.

Busse Knives, Swamp Rat Knives and Scrap Yard Knives are all related.

The general policy for all of the above companies is clearly: Won't tell. They seem to like the mystery and suspense of the unknown.
We are lucky to get a couple of days notice.

In many/most cases, once a blade has been released and not sold for a while, the company will not sell them again.

However, sometimes they seem to keep back a small quatity for shows and sometimes those are sold via what are called Extravaganzaaa sales.

Sometimes, it seems they actually produce a few more.... they won't tell whether it is old stock or a new run.

They are very secretive, protective and VERY non-committal about most things related to their business.

If you really want one, it is probably not too wise to wait and see.

Either purchase one from the store if you can, or purchase one from the secondary market.

The DMs have not been crazy priced on the secondary market. But, they may sky-rocket up for no apparent reason.

The Swamp Rat Bog Dog's used to sell for $88.95 or something. They were in stock at the Swamp Rat store for a long time. Then they were gone. They stayed low for a few months, then boom - they were selling for $250 - $300.

Demand economics are a funny thing.

My recommendation is to purchase the DM-LE.

If you do not like it for some reason, you can sell it and should not likely loose any money or very little. More likely you can pocket a little.

However, you could also probably use it to trade for what you want.

Good luck.
