I haven't heard taps being played over at Swamprat yet,but it would be a shame to lose one of the 3 kings.I bought my CT and HR gen2 way back when and The Swamp holds a special place in my heart...tear.Seriously though I guess people really are drawn to res-c handles,I like them too and it seems to keep the price of the knives down too.I still want a Battle Rat!!
