Obviously, most of us are hoping for a good price.
But, it appears (and I am confident), that with a reasonable price, these are going to be in HIGH demand.
So, I guees we should all be hoping there are a TON of these AWESOME little knives to be made - so most everybody can get one or a few! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />
I missed when the original Bog Dog was released and had to pick one off the secondary market a few years ago now.
I still have and still love that knife. I wish I had a few.
IMO, these mudder handles and stainless make a good handy knife for MANY uses.
I mentioned before, but again, for the cars, Bug-out bags, around the house, etc.
If you leave non-stainless out in your car, it will rust over time.
Also, these little mudder handled knives are super light-weight for hiking, backpacking, EDC, etc.
Honestly, I am still going to carry a folder for city EDC. But, I always prefer a fixed blade in the field, trails, etc. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
This Mud Puppy should weigh in under 5.0 ounces!
Probably close to 4.5 ounces - I would guess.
For weight comparison:
SS4........................= 5.5 ounces
Bog Dog..................= 5.0 ounces;
HRLM.......................= 9.0 ounces
Yard Keeper LE..........= 7.5 ounces
Howler (Res-C)..........= 6.0 ounces
Big choppers are very cool and all, but similar to guns, the best knives are the ones you can carry the most. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
.... Well ..... like guns.... best from one perspective anyway. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
I like my big .45's more than any little .380 or even my compact .40's.
Similarly, some big knives are just "Awesome". But, not always ideal for carry.
These little Mud Puppy's look to fill a nice niche in my book.
Good size full grip handle for a plenty secure and comfortable user grip and handy enough sized blade for MANY tasks. Comfortable grip and GREAT blade shape all in one. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
This Mud Puppy looks Practical, handy, convenient, etc. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
