EMF:
what bld was saying (correct me if I'm wrong) is that if Dan released a knife that was similar to the Hairy Carry, at a cheaper price, he would be undercutting Swamp Rat and would steal their profits. The Mud Puppy and the Hairy Carry are so similar, and have the same steel, there is little reason to buy the HC instead of the MP.
In any case, I'm hoping that if Horn Dog gets one, he'll do a review with it matched up against the Mora, Street Scrapper, and any other small knives he has. In general, I'm hoping people buy this knife as a user. Heck, its not like its all that purty anyway
