I'm waiting on the Mud Puppy price to determine how many I'll buy, but I expect it'll be at least three. I missed the SS4 release (the other mudder); I was new to BusseKin when they were sold, and thought it was WAY too expensive for a knife that size -- back then, I thought a 4-inch blade should cost about $30. By the time I became familiar with comparable blades, such as INFIcoots (which were rising quickly in the secondary market) and Meaners, and I realized how great a value the SS4s were, they were only available in the secondary market, where I bought one.

The most Scrap Yards I've bought of a single release was eleven, but I don't expect to do that again -- certainly not at this time, with so much being released for Blade. However, I also don't plan to look back at the Mud Puppy release and think, as I do with the SS4 and the Rat Trap, that I should have gotten more when the gettin' was good.
