Used to be a very active forum but since SY came in, the Swamp is neither here nor there. They lost their iconic ResC line and their Micarta ones are OK but nothing really earth-shattering. Wouldn't be surprised is they stopped.

In the past you had delivery issues but every year they came out with one or two uebercool knives plus the normal line-up. The pics above say it all. Mind boggling if you think that in a short time frame they brought out blades that screamed buy me. They made Busse look like some overpriced collector toy. Rats were the real thing. The Ratmandu is a great knife (got 2 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> ) but the HC, please, it is just a small knive nothing special. Then they had the Ganza models to keep the fans drooling. Maybe the Rodent line whenever it comes will be a revival but I think they have problem with their pricing strategy, they can't compete with SY and are probably told to stay away from the higher margin Busse blades.

Since the Mandu I haven't bought from them, the original stuff now comes from SY. I really wish Eric would finally chim in on the rodent line.
