Bruce you may have something there with the Fighter style blade. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
Remember it has to have a "Military" use as well to make it profitable for Dan to run. We get L.E. versions of his Military runs and he does that just for us! We know he has to pay people to satin finish and re-grind them into Limited Editions so the price goes up and demand goes down.
As powerful as we think we are he still sells thousands more to the government than any amount of forumites could ever buy and collect. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
So thinking on that line we just heard of Swamp Rats decision to release a 9 inch blade in satin only. Does that portend that a nine inch combat grade SR-77 could be in the works as well? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
And back to the Skeleton/Necker I posted so many times on that my fingers fight me when I try now. We cried for a necker or Skelly for a couple of years and as close as we got was the Mud Puppy. That IS our Game Warden...just in Stainless. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
A 8 inch Fighter would be a good Military sell and we would surely welcome a blade that shape here.
Remember when Dan would tease us about the next release? I do. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
I miss his involvement here. He always brought Dogs to attention when he posted or even commented on our threads. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
As for me. I guess all bases may be covered. Sad to think it is time to re-release older models just yet.
I still would like to think that Dan has a few more tricks up his sleeve before we repeat items. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />
Thanks all for the input. I got just about the reaction I expected. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Peace.
