The Swamp isn't dead, it's only sleeping! It's pining for the fjords I tell you.

Seriously tho, I suspect that given the economy not pushing 3 lines of blades in competition with each other for expensive production resources probably makes a lot of sense. You sell your high volume knives and sell your premium high margin knives and don't worry about the stuff in the middle of the line. Jerry, Dan, and Jennifer know their business...you have to give them some credit and benefit of the doubt. Yes, it would be nice if they communicated their (temporary?) change in strategy should that be the case.

I guess I'm like Vic, when the Swamp offers a new knife I look/buy, when they don't I spend my burning-a-hole-in-my-wallet dollars elsewhere. Otherwise, I just don't stress about it. This knife buying thing is supposed to be fun people.
