Welcome Mason! I don't know about everyone else but I can say I've been there.
I started with a SOG Seal Pup and though I like it, it just doesn't compare to Bussekin. I got lucky I found the Yard in time to score both the SOD and ScrapMuk. Like everyone else said there should be another offering around the corner!

BTW, I believe it is not too late to order an M9LE from the Swamp. It may not be Res-C but a 9" chopper edge is hard to beat. Check it out.
