don't make the same mistake twice. that camp tramp can be substituted for with other knives still in production ('weiler, rat7, small khuks, the scrapper 7 when dan finally releases it) but the d-mutt stands alone. nothing like it.
i think he got a great deal. not sure about the statement regarding the camp tramp. i don't personally have one (yet), but the people that do have them swear by them. it's a rare occassion that you see them come up for sale. once the s7 comes out though, they'll probably be obsolete.
